Summary: Very Informative Text
Comment: John Gray's book is an excellent resource for people who are interested in improving their physical relationships. After reading each section thoroughly, I realized for the first time that there was more to the enjoyment of intimacy than I had imagined. Chapter 3, titled 'Once A Year Is Not Enough', made me re-think my schedule. I still only get it once a year, but at least Gray has made me aware.
Another excellent piece of advice comes in Chapter 5, where Gray states controversially, 'Don't be afraid to experiment; try new things, like undressing. It may seem unnatural at first, but hey...we've all got wobbly bits.'
This is also a valuable manual for those just starting a physical relationship. Topics for the 'nookie' novice include 'How Come You've Got THREE?', 'Batteries Are A Girl's Best Friend', 'No, Susan, Fellatio Wasn't That Italian Film Director Married to Sophia Loren' and 'Bob and Carol and Bill and Monica'.
'Mars and Venus in the Bedroom' is a 'must-read' book. I can't wait for Gray's next one, 'Mars and Venus in the Boardroom'. Coroprate America is already ducking for cover.

Summary: WISE ADVICE FROM A VERY WISE MAN!
Comment: I cannot count the times I have referred this wonderful book to clients in search of self-help material. The information learned from Gray, an extremely well qualified man I might add, provides not only insight into relationships but insight into one's self and sense of being.
In this book Gray gives the reader a much clearer understanding of what male and female partners need from a sexual relationship, why they differ, why they feel as they do, and how to satisfy each other's emotional and physical needs in ways that will strengthen the bond of intimacy. By doing so, one builds the foundation for a strong and solid relationship (in and out of the bedroom,) a relationship based on mutual love, trust, understanding, and honest and open communication.
The one aspect of Gray's books that always appeals to me, and many other readers, is the professional, open and frank manner he uses to earn trust and exhibit warmth. He writes in a straight-forward professional manner without being condescending or patronizing, while at the same time holding the reader's attention with his words of wisdom. His books have been sold by the millions around the world, in 40 languages. That, in itself, attests to the validity of his literary and professional ability. This book is one I highly recommend to any individual regardless of whether or not you are currently in an intimate relationship; you never know what tomorrow may bring! Whether you are 20 or 80 - yes, seniors need intimacy, too, you will benefit from this highly recommended book. Many seniors, however, may have learned long ago the message given here, in which case you could always consider this book.... a refresher course! This is a terrific book from an acclaimed author.

Summary: Great for laughs
Comment: I got it,
and it has lots of great advice! I would recommend that it be read with a lard chunk of salt (in some sections).
A couple of things made me LMAO and I had to share.
1. He devotes 1 1/2 pages in telling a man how to deliver oral sex to a woman. And not very well either. He mentions the G-spot, but basically says "It would create preformance anxiety in the man if he kept trying to find it---so he won't get too technical" so he leaves it at that.
Excuse me! I nearly dropped the book at this point (like, he could have devoted 10 pages to that alone).
2. HOWEVER, he devotes 5 plus pages!!! on giving oral to a guy! Going into extreme, intricate detail of every millimeter of area to be covered.
In reading this, there is no doubt about Dr. Gray's gender.
His justification? Men like it better than women (erm, excuse me?! Was I asked???)
3. He does this lingerie=mood chart that had me falling out of bed "If she is wearing black lace, it means she is in this kinda mood, if she is wearing white, it means she feels virginal, if she is in pink, it means she feels romantic."
Again, WHAT? How about I look pretty dang good in black lack, the pink doesn't scratch and the white doesn't ride up. Maybe he is color blind.
4. Oy, and don't get me started in the section about Quickies (I do agree to some point, but the reciprocal part isn't fair, balanced). Cuddles for a quickie? Where did he find these people! It came off as extremely cold blooded, with the woman lying there like a log being perfectly OK to the hubby (argh!) That alone would be a 'he needed a killin'' defense in a murder trial.
All that aside, it does have some helpful pointers. Buy the book used....and cheap.
