Rating:  Summary: It changed my strategy (a review by a male reader) Review: I wrote Lessons: pay more attn to clitoris... before I had the chance to practice what I had learned. I always knew that attention must be paid to the clitoris, but I was told it was just foreplay; I thought it was not the main event. Then I condensed my experiences with women... I've always been able to bring a woman to orgasm "externally", but it's been hit or miss with intercourse. Maybe intercourse isn't the main event to women, but rather it's "nice" to have. So my strategy has changed... from now on, she will get one BEFORE, and then... we'll have sex, and then if she has another orgasm, great! But I will never again have to feel guilty about her not "getting to the finish line" by the time I do. I still think that D. Claire Hutchins needs to explore her body more. There must be other spots on her body that produce an orgasm; I don't think she even mentioned the "cul de sac" in the book. And I have no idea why it says "for women only" on the front cover. I would think Ms. Hutchins would >want< men to have this information as a favor to women everywhere. The feminist tone in the book seems indicate "women, we can do it for ourselves". Um, hello, I >want< to be there; I would like her to enjoy this too. I still feel that her orgasm is mostly my responsibility, and I don't mind that.
Rating:  Summary: Menopausal Woman Gets Orgasm Without Losing a Night's Sleep Review: When I got to be over 50 and menopausal, I thought good sex was over for me. I have more trouble getting lubricated, my sex drive is practically nil, and when I get hot, it's usually because I'm having a hot flash. My arthritis prevents me for doing all the maneuvering I did when young. I'm married to a man ten years younger than me, and this book saved my marriage. With all that I'm going through with aging, I didn't need the pressure of trying to play the femme fatale with my husband, and the energy it takes to fake orgasm to get the sex over with quickly was more than I could spare. Thanks to this book, I can still have a satisfying sex life (and so can my husband) without having to act like a teenager. My husband and I both thank D. Claire Hutchins.
Rating:  Summary: Five MTO Review: This book deals with a specific problem that many women face - the inability to reach orgasm through sexual intercourse in any position, shape, form or fashion. It is written for women who feel they must have oral sex or use a vibrator prior to the sex act, and who are not happy with the situation for one reason or another. Five MTO is a short and simple book that provides an answer. The author gives a "quick and easy formula" which includes masturbation and a change of position as a means to reach orgasm more quickly and efficiently during intercouse. Some readers are not going to be happy because they are expecting a more definitive sex manual. But the author, Claire Hutchins, states clearly that this book is not about new and elaborate sexual techniques. It's not about pleasing your mate-it's about learning to enjoy yourself as much (or more!) than the man while you are having sex. Hutchins wants women to take control of their sexual response and stop depending on their partners' skill (or lack thereof) at lovemaking. No more - lousy lover - no orgasm. The tone of the book is slightly feminist which will upset some men, but a full reading reveals that Hutchins is somewhat indulgent with men, and gives them "permission" to be lazy. She clearly has sympathy for men who have been burdened with the responsibility of MAKING women reach orgasm. Can most women reach orgasm in five minutes? The author uses her own research and quotes more famous researchers like Shere Hite (4 minues) and Masters and Johnson, but I was still skeptical. I thought it took me around 20 minutes. So I gave the technique a try - with a clock this time - and came in at just over 6 minutes. But I think dwelling on the number 5 is missing the author's point. She wants to teach women to orgasm (with their partners) more efficiently so once again they can enjoy sex. So if you used to take 30 minutes and you learn to reach orgasm in 15 or you formerly took an hour and you now can climax in 20 minutes - isn't that progress? Hutchins wants women to enjoy sex. I think she accomplishes that and more.
Rating:  Summary: What a great pleasure! Review: A friend reccomended this book to me and my girlfriend. We checked it out, and that night, we went through the book. I must say, it highly increased our sexual performance! The reading is clear, and simple..and by the time I knew it..I was orgasming longer than I usually. Do!
Rating:  Summary: Found Something that Works Review: I read this in one afternoon and put it into practice that very night after my husband got home from work, we had dinner and put the kids to bed. Just like the author promises, this one works. We didn't have a lot of time, my husband was tired, and neither one of us feel all that romantic (on a weeknight)after 11 years of marriage. We both enjoyed the "quickie" technique. Sorry I didn't think of it before. It would have saved us lots of years of losing interest in sex.
Rating:  Summary: Lessons: pay more attn to clitoris; woman-on-top; fantasize Review: Somehow D. Claire Hutchins managed to fill 120 pages with variations on the themes above. Notice that I did not say DR. Claire Hutchins, because she isn't; I'm not sure what her qualifications are other than she can only achieve orgasm by clitoral masturbation, and she proclaims that all women in the world are just like her. The book is also filled with spelling errors that should have been found by an editor but would not be caught by a word processing program's spell checker. I learned a couple of things, but if you read the title of this review, you can save yourself $13.95 plus shipping.
Rating:  Summary: Orgasm Equality Review: This book seeks to do nothing les than give women orgasms equal to mens' - in rapidity, at least. The author clearly thinks womens' orgasms are superior - in duration, strength and the fact that they can achieve multiple orgasms. She blames modern literature in the form of magazines and books for women feeling dependent on men (read helpless) for their orgasms; women are often told to "tell their lovers what they want," clearly putting the responsiblity on men. This information is available in many other sex manuals, but the presentation and argument are surprising and unusual in this book, and Hutchins defnitely zeros in on her point.
Rating:  Summary: Girls, loosen up and have fun Review: A great book, but only for those women who can be sexually free and have no guilt. It's honesty is awesome and truly makes for an entertaining and valuable learning experience. The author cuts through the taboos and lets everyone know the real secret behind a "quickie." Awesome, I would recommend it highly
Rating:  Summary: My Husband Recommends it Review: I first saw this book at a gift-exchange party, and it was presented as one of the gifts. I can tell you it caused a pretty lively discussion. Can women orgasm in five minutes? ... . I had to have the book for myself. I read it and shared the new technique with my husband. Actually, I kind of sprung it on him, and he was surprised, but definitely pleased. This technique gave me the fastest orgasm of my life. I wouldn't use it all the time (sex is over too fast), but when we are in a hurry or too tired for a drawn out session, this technique is the best. Pick up a copy of the book, and try the technique. I heartily recommend it. (And so does my husband!)
Rating:  Summary: Improved Our Sex Life Review: This is one of the best books for improving your sex life. My girlfriend and I picked it up out of curiosity (no way!), and we were glad we did. As a hands-on guide, this book describes one lovemaking technique where women can maximize their sexual response. It teaches women how to be more in control of their orgasms and stop leaving men in control of their sexual response. From a man's point of view, I really appreciate it, because even though my girlfriend could have an orgasm, now we have the option of having "quickies" that both of us can enjoy. The book focuses on women but it is helpful to men who are tired of bearing the burden of female orgasm. The author shows women where and how to touch to receive maximum pleasure. It's not too late to improve your sex life. Also recommended: Extended Massive Orgasm - shows how to give and receive remarkable orgasms and how to take the experience of sex to a new level of pleasure.
