Summary: Doctors Agree with Author
Review: Hutchins's primary point in this book is that women are responsible for their own orgasms, not men or anything outside of themselves. This view can be threatening to men, and some of them believe it diminishes their power. Hutchins is quick to point out that they are, instead, relieved of a burden they unnecessarily carried all these unenlightened years.Her ideas are reiterated by Joel D. Block, Ph.D, author of "Sex Over Fifty." He states that couples have made a mistake when they assumed "a female orgasm was a gift a man gave a woman, like handing her a single red rose. That put all the responsibility for her sexual pleasure on him and encouraged her to fake as a way of rewarding him for his effort." According to Dr. Block, "A nice girl says 'thank you' even if the rose is a little wilted and hasn't much fragrance." Dr. Block goes on to state, "Take responsibility for your own pleasure, sexual and otherwise. A man does not give a woman an orgasm." Thank you D. Claire Hutchins and Dr. Block for lightening up the sex act, and giving us permission to make it play rather than work.

Summary: Good Read
Review: This is a great book. I have been searching for an answer to the problem of a too-slow or no orgasm all of my life. This is a short, fast-paced and funny book that helped me to learn how to reach orgasm every time I have intercourse. I don't have to be "in the mood" or have a long drawn-out lovemaking experience. Most other books are too complicated and make reachiing orgasm even more difficult than it already is. This book has a new approach. It is now up to me and not up to the skill of my lover whether I have an orgasm or not. I highly recommend it, but only if you are looking to improve the reliability of your orgasm, not if you want to learn a lot of new techniques.

Summary: HRT No More
Review: I have been taking HRT for several years now because I felt like I was unable to have a "vaginal" orgasm without it because of the dryness that sometimes accompanies menopause. With the purchase of this book, I no longer have to worry about having vaginal orgasms, because there is no such thing. Vaginal, clitoral - it's all the same, which is a real relief because of the bad press that HRT (hormone replacement therapy) has been getting, and I wanted to give it up to decrease my risk of cancer and heart disease. Now that I'm safely past menopause, I don't need hormone replacement anyway. I don't need it to enjoy sex once again, thanks to this book. I appreciate the author's approach to a difficult subject, and I recommend this book.

Summary: Committed but not happy
Review: ...We bought this book, and are excited about the prospect of trying something a little different. We are talking about the problem again, which was the difficult part, and have already given the method a try. So far it's worked pretty good. (Maybe not in five minutes, yet, but anything is better than nothing.) I feel like with a little practice that we can improve our timing as well, but right now, we are relearning to enjoy the lovemaking process again, so we aren't in that much of a hurry. I encourage you to buy this book. Don't just read it and never use the technique. Give it a try and see if it doesn't help your sex life. It's helped ours and things can only get better from here out.

Summary: Awful Book
Review: It's difficult to write a review of this book within the constraint of not "spoiling" the contents. Perhaps the best way would be to say that I have read numerous sex guides, and been involved in professional counselling, and this book offers rotten advice to those who would want a closer bond with their sexual partner. If sex means more to you than a quick fling, don't buy this book. In fact, don't buy this book no matter what.

Summary: Dispels old myths
Review: What I like best about this book is that it puts more dirt on the myth of vaginal versus clitoral orgasm. I used to wiggle around and try to get in the right position just so I could have what I thought was a vaginal orgasm when all I was doing was trying to get clitoral stimulation without anyone (my partner) knowing what I was up to. Now we don't have to worry about vaginal versus clitoral orgasms - it's all the same. Men don't have two different names for their orgasms, do they? An orgasm is just that for guys. Why do we perpetuate myths about women that make it so darn hard for many of us? It really gets my blood boiling. Women, we need to lighten up and learn to enjoy sex. And this book will help you to do it.

Summary: Clear and Simple Approach
Review: Many of the sexual guides are more about expressing love in a loving relationship than about having sex and women achieving orgasm. We don't worry about how to bring our male partners to orgasm. Why then is it so difficult for women to reach orgasm? Part of this author's premise is that women are not as familiar with their bodies as men are and that women do not start as early nor practice masturbation as often as the typical male. If you want some clear cut advice about how to achieve orgasm quickly without a lovemaking experience of operatic proportions, then this is the book for you. If you want cuddly, sweet sex, then it is not. Five Minutes to Orgasm gives advice in a friendly, chatty way, and teaches women how to be in control of their own orgasms. It succeeds in delivering on its promise of a faster, easier orgasm.

Summary: Sometimes an Orgasm is Just an Orgasm
Review: In our armchair-psychology generation, everything has to be done for a reason. When we have sex, it has to be a communication between two like-minded people who are connecting at the deepest possible level, and sex for sex's sake is selfish and unfeeling. Poppycock! Sometimes an orgasm is just an orgasm. Sometimes, it's just about getting off, and very little else. Don't misunderstand. There's nothing wrong with having sex as a beautiful, life-enhancing connection with someone you love. But, it doesn't ALWAYS have to be that way. I love my husband, and we connect on an intimate level. There are times, however -- and these are more frequent than the times when it's all about a love connection -- when all we want is to have a playful quickie. I believe it's my right to have an orgasm EVERY TIME WE MAKE LOVE, just like he does, and he agrees. He's in favor of whatever machinations it requires to get me off. We loved this book. It gave us permission to enjoy sex with each other without having to make it all about the other person every time. We say, lighten up, have fun, and have lots of orgasms. That's what this book is all about.

Summary: Totally Amazed
Review: I'm always totally amazed when I read how difficult some people want to make female orgasm. This book covers the MECHANICS of female orgasm. That's what it advertises, and that is what it delivers. Orgasm is not some impossible goal that takes years of study and counseling to reach. It's easy if you know and practice the technique. This book brings relief for the countless men and women who have trouble with their relationship - who have tried counseling and hundreds of techniques. This works because it KEEPS IT SIMPLE.

Summary: 5 Minutes To Write This Book
Review: Not only was this book a total waste of money, it was quite aggravating to read. I have read many sex and relationship books, and I have spent years counselling, and this book contains advice that will only be harmful to your relationship. It takes away from any special bond that couples should share and replaces it with an aggressive self-gratifying approach. Claire D. Hutchins writes with a patronising slant on men; and this book would probably only be suitable for women who are bringing home a new guy every week. I'll save you the trouble of reading. The advice is: masturbate regularly, think only of yourself and how to use the person you're with, fantasise about other guys, watch porn from time to time, and make sure that you stay in charge of the sexual act. I'm no prude; I'm in my twenties, and I've done a great deal of experimenting (and made plenty of mistakes), but this book is for shallow, selfish people only.
