Rating:  Summary: Don't let your marriage become routine Review: There are answers to just about any question you may have about sex. Great book for a couple to read who may be having sexual problems or who just want to make sure their sex life doesn't become routine.
Rating:  Summary: Who let this guy publish again??! Review: This book is full of uninformed, bigoted, and downright stupid ideas about queer people, folks who are into kink, and pretty much anyone who isn't into soft-focus vanilla heterosexual sex. This may be an update compared to the idiocy of the old book, but it is certainly not worthy of 90's adults.
Rating:  Summary: I shouldn't have asked Review: This book is so misinformed. (That's why girls swing on swings? A rash is proof? Where is this information coming from?!) I would not recommend this book to anyone; it will only cause myths to be perpetuated and perhaps worse. Thumbs down!!

Rating:  Summary: Lots of Good Information -- Still has misinformation Review: This book still is an intriguing read. I read this when it was first published and did not have enough knowledge to know what was inaccurate and what was opinion and what was fact. However, I did feel quite naughty and knowledgeable reading it at the time. It's scary to think how close I came to having an unwanted baby because of the birth control method mentioned in the original: shaken coca cola. (Imagine a cheap motel, a broken condom, and a scared young man running for bottled cola.) It's not forbidden to talk about sex any more, so you don't get the added status the original one gave to teenagers.
Rating:  Summary: He hasn't changed Review: This book, when it first appeared, became one of the most damaging and injurious books of the 20th century. Reuben's ignorant, false lies about gays and lesbians were read or heard about just about everyone, and caused a lot of pain. Pain to me, who beleived what he said, pain to my mother, who beleived it. How sad his book became a cultural phenomenon. I really don't have much of an opinion about his other topics, but he seems very narrow minded and judgmental and self important. There are undoubtedly some good things in this book, but you can find the same information elsewhere. In this new edition he has toned things down a bit, but this is, after all 2002. I do not recommend this book to anyone for any reason.
Rating:  Summary: a wonderful book on a taboo topic Review: this doctor is a revelation! As a Christian educator, his views are top notch and so well informed. This would be a good book for young people to read as it is full of the warnings that are so necessary in a permissive society. Bravo, Dr. Rueben and don't let the liberal lies of the 70's make you change.
Rating:  Summary: Tells it straight without pandering to political correctness Review: This is definately one of the most important books that I ever read as a child, and I'm going to make sure that when they're old enough my children read it too. The author has his biases--name one who doesn't. So what if he doesn't choose to be politically correct and tell everyone how wonderful and right they are? What he did 30 years ago and today was to write a book that gives straight information on the human body and the human reproductive system. It's not a manual on how to have sex nor should it be. Thanks to this book I've known about my body and about other people's bodies since I was a teenager. As a result my sex life has been better and more fufilled. If you want to teach or learn a certain kind of morality then find a better way to do it, but don't attack a book for not doing something that it doesn't try to do. If you want to learn about the physical shell you inhabit then buy this book and learn from it.
Rating:  Summary: This book saved my marriage Review: This is more of a testimonial than a review but after 16 yearsof marriage and two children my sex life was hell! My husband and Iread this book together and found all the answers to our problems. We put our sex back together again and I guess our marriage to. This is truly the users guide to sex, relationships and sensibilities. Thank you Dr. Reuben and God bless you.
