Guide to Getting It On! A Book About the Wonders of Sex Description
Review
"We use the
Guide to Getting It On to help our scholars gain a more complete understanding of sexuality and to help them promote the sexual health of their patients and peers."
Perry Tsai, Co-directorAmerican Medical Student AssociationSexual Health Scholars Program (AMSA SHSP)"A wold-class sex manual. Whoever you are and however much sexual experience you've had, you will benefit from reading this book. I can't recommend it too highly."
Journal of Human Relations"The most playful and sensitive book I've read on sex -- it's funny, irreverent, intelligent and refreshingly honest." --
Adrienne Benedicks/LIBIDO"You've never read a manual as warm, friendly, liberating, thorough, and potentially sex-life-changing as the Guide to Getting It On! Neither had anyone in our office--which may be why our copies keep disappearing." -- Oprah Magazine"If you're going to own just one instructional book about sex, this is the one. Funny, hip, and informative, it's packed with advice about what to put where and covers every topic a couple could possibly be curious about." -- Women's Health Magazine--Sex Awards"In our vast library of sex books, this is by far and away the most human, enlightening and entertaining read of the lot. I'll be recommending it until my keyboard wears out." -- Cosmopolitan Magazine UK"One of the few books about sex that you actually want to sit down and read." -- Playboy Magazine
From the Author
With the 7th edition, I think
The Guide is finally hitting its stride. Sure, there's always room for improvements and changes, but for now, I think it's okay. I hope you--and whatever lucky people you have sex with--enjoy it, almost as much as you enjoy each other.
As I wrote in the intro: Ignorance remains this book's archenemy, the desire to know more about sex, its friend.
Thanks and take care,
Paul, the author

Outstanding book and no wonder this is my wedding present of choice. I wrap it up for the couple getting married and don't even enclose a card. The delighted lovers don't need to know who it is among their wedding party whose out there trying to be helpful.
This work is entertaining, insightful, respectful, snarky, well illustrated. What's not to like about this book? He's got a spiritually here that shows sex as special. Yet on almost every page he gets down and nasty in a practical way about The Bonk; from the basics to the edgy. I loved the illustrations also as they set a tone that is a bit light hearted. Heck, so many of us are moving toward old man status these days, I should be embarrassed to say--but I'm not--that I learned a good deal I didn't know about sex in this book. I always have an extra copy on hand now to give to young couples; even advised a one-year young married couple last week (8.30.13) wondering about the perfect wedding gift for some starry eyed soon to be weds in church to take up my tradition here and give this book.
So, hats and pants off to Joannides and his team who worked on this project and who keep working on this tome to keep it current with new editions. This book has legs! I think I've bought five or six copies so far. In my sixties now I still learn some stuff every time I go back to this work. For example, how to coach friends to watch out for dangerous love making positions that can get you hurt if you are a guy. I showed a young couple last week the page where a man can actually break his Favorite Friend via Reverse Cowgirl. A little fear at times is healthy. And, no, they had not even heard the term "reverse cowgirl".
Buy this book. Heck, buy two!
