Rating:  Summary: College to career to marriage Review: The first time I read this book was with a few of my college friends. We had spent many a night discussing why orgasm must be so difficult for women and so easy for men. We pretty well passed this book around among us, and each of us had a different viewpoint. What I specifically liked about the book was its non-classification of orgasms, no vaginal versus clitoral with clitoral naturally being the inferior. Hutchins debunks that myth. Men don't classify their orgasms do they? They don't consider their masturbatory orgasm as inferior (some say it is superior because they alone know how it feels and can touch themselves best) to orgasms with a female partner, and spend hours agonizing about one over the other. This book teaches women how to use their masturbatory "skills" to reach orgasm during intercourse. I found it a welcome addition to my self-help library, and now that I am married, and time for lovemaking is not so easy to find, I find it even more invaluable. I recommend it highly, and don't let anyone, including your partner, make you feel inferior because your orgasms do not strictly come from male penile thrusting. Most of us don't.Buy the book. You'll be glad you did.
Rating:  Summary: Not an instructional manual Review: I was looking for something straightforward and easy to understand, but this book is not that. The author presents 3 steps which are "woman on top", "masturbation", and "fantasizing". If you are not comfortable or open to these steps, then you are pretty much out of luck and should not buy the book. There should have been more techniques to achieve orgasm, and a clearer explanation of the techniques. The bulk of the book talks about how conventional thinking about women and sex is wrong. It often gets off track of the main goal (the 5 minute orgasm) and the conclusions reached at times seem incorrect. Here's an example. "I love oral sex...but sometimes I'm just too tired to get into sex that much." The author concludes, "Guys like Ron are often afraid to admit they don't enjoy oral sex that much." The guy said he loves oral sex, so I don't know how she jumped to that conclusion. She talks about how Freud, Masters and Johnson, and the Church are wrong in their teachings and attitudes. She says the G spot is an "invented magic place". I didn't much care for those opinions, nor did I think they were much help to achieve the goal. The one thing I did like about the book was that Ms. Hutchins leaves the responsiblity of the orgasm to the woman herself and not to rely on others. If you are looking for an easier time having orgasms, are open to the 3 steps, and feel like you are brainwashed by society's thinking about women and sex, then this book is for you.
Rating:  Summary: ORGASM IS NOT THE HOLY GRAIL Review: Put the fun back in any relationship by dwelling on the purely physical. I thought this book accomplished its goal of teaching women to reach orgasm fast, with a partner, during intercourse. It's written for too-busy couples and for women who want to reach orgasm faster and/or just reach orgasm at all. It gives women "permission" to manipulate the clitoris during sexual intercourse, and removes the stigma of clitoral versus so-called vaginal orgasm (there's no difference). The goal is to make orgasm easy and attainable for all women, not some illusive holy grail that only a few can reach. I LOVEDIT.
Rating:  Summary: ignore the nay-sayers, it's all about women's liberation Review: Take back control and learn to own your orgasms! This is a well written, and well researched book that serves as a great guide for how to do just that. And it works. Of course not easy to master immediately, but with practice, one will learn to overcome her fears and make those self-doubting comments fade away. Though some may find the message drawn out, really it's a necessity to understand the backgound and underlying arguments to be able to apply the 3 major principles. If you're already among the few women fortunate enough to orgasm everytime with your partner through intercourse, and you are able to have it whenever you want, then OK this would be too elementary for you. But for the rest of us... well, let's just say at least it's worked for me, not to mention all the other *satisfied* readers. Good luck and have fun!
Rating:  Summary: For women of all ages Review: This book gives explicit step-by-step instructions on how to control female orgasm. It includes suggestions for women who have never experienced an orgasm to explore and practice privately. The instructions are illustrated with true-to-life tales, and it can help women of any age, from the time you start until later in life when orgasms may become more difficult. I recommend this book to women (and their partners) of all ages.
Rating:  Summary: Lighten up and have fun! Review: Girls, this book is written to try to get you to loosen up and have fun. The author wants all women to be able to enjoy sex as easily and often as men. Orgasms should be easy and fun. I thought the suggestions were great ones. I've used some of them a long time. If you want something about the spiritual nature of sex, read something else. This book is about the physicality of intercourse, that's all.
Rating:  Summary: Book Gives What It Says Review: This book's only claim was to give a woman a faster orgasm during intercourse, which it does quite simply and successfully. It doesn't promise to give us everlasting happiness in love, or three day orgasms, or a ticket to heaven. It supplies a simple technique that works. That's what it promised to do, and that's what it does. Enjoyable.
Rating:  Summary: What a bummer! Review: This was a fairly entertaining book to read, but I felt that the title was a bit misleading. I believe a better, more honest title for the book would have been "Five minutes to orgasm every time you MASTURBATE."
Rating:  Summary: Disappointing. Review: The book is too short, too expensive and doesn't come up with anything that my husband and I found usable. I was disappointed with the book after all the promotion I read at Amazon (I wonder if that was all rigged??). I much preferred the book "When the Earth Moves:Women and Orgasm" which is much more in depth dealing with women as living, breathing beings physically, emotionally and spiritually. (...)
Rating:  Summary: Cuts to the Chase Review: I like this book because it gets to the point. It's about how women can have an orgasm in five minutes *during intercourse* and it sticks to that point. It has the most provocative and useful technique that I've ever read about. The author challenges the myth of different types of orgasms or that one type of orgasm is inferior to another. Staightforward and direct with explicit commentary, the books gives essential information on the instructions for having an orgasm. I've recommended it to all my women friends who are having troubles in those areas.
