Summary: More like 3.5 stars, but still worth a read!
Review: I've looked this book up several times and finally got the nerve to buy it. (Not that we needed the book, it just seemed really fun, you know?) The book is thick and just screams..."Hold on tight!" I chose the first "idea" and boy, was I completely annoyed with how hard it is for small, dainty, lady hands to rip those pages out. They look perferated, but they only minimally rip along the dotted lines. I nearly ripped the whole page out by accident! And then you have to rip the top and bottom off too. Argh. It was annoying. The task involved buying arm-length lace gloves..."at the mall". I don't know where Laura Corn buys her clothes, but no mall near me stocks "arm-length lace gloves". And pearls? On a budget? Get real. Let's just say I spent $... on a nice lingerie set and improvised. Purchase with high hopes, but keep realistic in mindset. I can't wait to try more!!

Summary: its not for everyone but if its for you its a 5-Star book
Review: ...The premise of the book is that both the man & the woman open sealed pages instructing them to do something different, unusual, romantic or kinky. THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. If you are in a healthy relationship, are open-minded, are romantic & open & expressive to your mate, and already enjoy a variety of positions, then don't buy it. Its just that simple. Not everyone is terribly creative. Not everyone has the guts to do what they can think of. Sometimes they're find but they fear their partner won't "go for it". Some people aren't able to express their love outwardly. And sometimes relationships go stale. Sometimes people are so busy that they fail to make time for themselves, their spouses or the things they love & enjoy. This doesn't make you a bad person...it just means you need either a) ideas, or b) guts to do it. This book is for you then. It has the potential to get you and your partner to try new things, or do old things in a new way. Despite the pre-planning aspect, it will help you be more spontaneous. it'll motivate you to try that thing you always wanted to do but were maybe nervous about suggesting. One note: don't expect 101 nights. it gives each partner one concept per week (52 x 2 = 101). Some require a lot of pre-planning & you might not have time. A handful involving pornography which may turn off religious types. Several involve a high degree of expensive ($100+. Some simply wont work unless you live in a large house or apartment. Having young kids could definately interfere with some concepts. Some concepts just seemed silly... Despite these problems, I would say most people could do 80% or more of the concepts. My wife & I enjoyed it greatly, and obviously so have many others who bought this book. As long as you understand whether this book is for you or not, then you should be satisifed with this book.

Summary: A bit on the "tame" side, but still a good kicker
Review: My wife and I have been playing with this book faithfully for several weeks now, and so far, all of the "seductions" have been pretty tame. The more adventurous among you may find you have already done many of the scenarios. However, having said that, we do find it a good launching point for our own variations on her ideas, and we have been enjoying the Sunday Night ritual of ripping out our next week's secret suggestions. Laura Corn hit the nail on the head when she states that anticipation is a key ingredient to exciting sex. Not knowing what our spouse is up to, but knowing it will be sexy fun, is enough to make this book worth buying.

Summary: Fresh and Creative after the Honeymoon
Review: It's so hard to find time and energy to think of creative, sensual activities to strengthen your relationship. This book hands you 101 fabulous, tried-and-true ideas to spice up your relationship and explore each other's bodies. On the cover of the sealed envalopes, the author has icons representing how much money is involved, if it requires good weather, etc. Most are free or $10-$25 dollars. Inside the envalopes are detailed activities, complete with some kind of a note or message to give your partner the day before or morning of the event to increase anticipation, a list of what you'll need, and stepwise directions and suggestions for the evening. On the other side of the inner envalope, the author drew paragraphs from other writer's books with advice on having a sensual, romantic relationship. When you get into a rut in your sex life, this is the book to get you out! I highly recommend!

Summary: Another Valentine's Day
Review: I bought this book once before, but here I am with a new partner approaching Valentine's day, and I am in need of a new copy of this book since it has cards that are torn open. We have done some of the exercises before, but the book adds a little something extra to make sex fresh and exciting. This book provides great ways to add to a satisfying sex life. It's a great resource for lovers, old or new! The only drawback is that some situations presume that you have no other obligations and can set aside any amount of time for lovemaking. That's why I also recommend (and buy for my friends' wedding showers) FIVE MINUTES TO ORGASM EVERY TIME YOU MAKE LOVE. It helps women enjoy quickies just like men, even if they've previously had trouble reaching orgasm during intercourse.

Summary: Great ideas to help you get back into the swing of things
Review: After 7 years and 3 kids, our sex life had become predictable and... well.. a little bit stale. My wife and I tried this book to liven things up a bit and boy did it! Be warned [*If you or your spouse are not willing to actively participate and try some new things, don't buy this (or any other) book about spicing up your love life.*] So for the guys -- Some of the scenarios and things I was supposed to do for my wife seemed silly or dumb but let me tell you... She sure didn't think so. There was only one "dud" that I can remember but we made the most of it anyhow. The scenarios my wife picked to do for me were great. The book has a knack for helping me do things my wife enjoys and my wife to do things I like. (...)

Summary: FUN-FUN-FUN
Review: Sex and loving is about having fun & using your imagination. This book is a terrific tool for expanding on that. In addition to our already TERRIFIC love life, we have these little "escapades" thrown in every now & then. We don't stick to everything exactly (there's some bizaar stuff in there) but we're having fun with our own versions of her suggestions. I love knowing that my partner is taking the time to plan a little something special just for me and I enjoy doing the same for him. He planned a "shower" for me...complete with an invitation and gifts. Just knowing he took the time to buy the invitation, pick out the soaps & shampoos and wrap them..he loved it and so did I. It cost a few dollars..but so what..We're worth it! I've recommended this book to a few couples & pass my pages on to one of my friends for her to read and get a few ideas from. I think she'll be buying her own soon!! Go for it...what have you got to lose?

Summary: Just not impressed
Review: My husband bought this book on Valentine's Day because he thought it looked fun. The thing you have to understand about this book - since all the scenarios are sealed, you really don't know what you're buying. Well so far, I've looked at over 10 scenarios for the woman, and there's not one I haven't done (or was saving for future use) for my guy. Now I was never promiscuous, but neither am I inhibited. My guy is a little shy, so I've been slowly introducing "play" concepts (which is why he bought the book). Stuff like a little role playing, sexy outfits - all the "naughty" stuff that turns routine sex into hot sex. So I hoped this book would have some good ideas, but I'm totally unimpressed. For example: one scenario suggests having sex in a room you've never had sex in before - well, DUH. It further suggests you have sex on the stairs - not a great suggestion when you live in an apartment. If the scenarios weren't written as if the author was the only person who had ever thought of them, I might have a little more patience with this book. And some of them require extensive preparation - I know all sex can't be spontaneous, but if you're looking for a book with some "last minute" type of ideas, this isn't it. Basically, if you have an uninhibited attitude towards sex, a trusting and open communication with your partner, a good imagination, and a sense of what your partner is or isn't willing to be surprised with in the bedroom, then don't bother with this book. I don't even find the descriptions all that stimulating - they read like bad fan fiction at times.

Summary: my books on hold...after i bought it
Review: Well, I work in an adult store and thought to buy it (figured I might as well if I want to recommed it to people) The problem is she should really say "for couple who live on their own" or something along those lines. They ask for stuff to be done in the bathroom, or car, or kitchen. Its cool if you have your own place, but if you room with people (as I do) its hard. Also some things are hard to do if you don't got the time spent in preparing for it. I work 5 days a week and well if I plan to do this "event" on one of my days off I only got another day to get it all together and sometimes its just not enough time. So now it just sits on the shelf...collecting dust.

Summary: Getting in some excitement again
Review: It's good with ideas that gets guys focussed on what the ladies need and ladies focussed on what guys usually want, without letting the others know it in advance. Can be recommended.
