Summary: Better Than the Best
Review: Great Sex by Michael Castleman should have been entitled Great Love and Sex. It contains a life time of mature and caring information. I have given copies of this book to each of my children and I recommend it to all of the couples I see in marriage and family counseling. This is a book that can change your life and marriage for the best. It is as useful for women as it is to men.

Summary: Great Sex great book
Review: I found this book to be informative, easy to read and very witty. So many of the books on sex are written in a manner that makes the layman feel stupid. This book is written with a style that makes the subject understandable and non-threatening. I will definitely recommend it to my clients and friends.

Summary: All I can say is WOW.
Review: I picked up this book because of the sexy cover. I had two problems: premature ejaculation, and a desire difference in my relationship--I wanted to have sex more often than my girlfriend. I thought my premature ejaculation made her turn off to sex. Well, the chapter on lasting longer fixed me up in like a month. It was amazing. Simple suggestions. And all of a sudden I had really good control, could last pretty much as long as I wanted. Amazing. If this was all I got from the book, it would be well worth the price. But lasting longer didn't fix our desire difference. I still wanted it more than her--much more because now premature ejaculation wasn't a problem anymore. So I flipped to the chapter on desire differences. Very interesting. We both read it and talked about it. It helped. We took some of the suggestions. We started scheduling our sex, making an evening of it. I still want sex more than she does. But our difference is less of a problem than it was. Great book. Thank you, Michael Castleman. Thank you very much!

Summary: Laurie Watson, LMFT, LPC, sex therapist
Review: I've been looking for a book for many years to recommend to male clients that teaches how to really touch a woman. Working with women struggling with low desire, I know that, too often, low libido results from her partner's poor technique and a lack of education about a woman's sexual response. Most men learn about sex either from pornography which is completely misleading or from experience which may or may not have taught him what he needs to know. Even sexually experienced men may not know what really turns a woman on. Castleman has produced the best comprehensive book that I know of, to educate and help a man become a superior lover.

Summary: Insightful guide to sex
Review: Michael Castleman is clearly enlightened sexually and emotionally. Rarely do you find this kind of sensitivity and insight toward men; he is truly someone who is in tune with men's issues. It has taken me over forty years of my life to learn what's contained in this book, and to date I have found nothing else that is so clear and concise in its approach to men's sexuality and interaction with their partners. Great Sex offers you an alternative to sleepy, stale sex and wakes you up to what Great Sex really is. Once you discover this approach to sexuality, you'll never be an ordinary lover again. Want to know how to become a great lover? Read this book. Want to be a great lover? Use what lies within its pages.

Review: Michael, I thought the book was excellent. The promise of so many sex books is a little like the promotions of programs on how to be a great real estate investor: mostly promise and hype, less that is useful. Your book, by contrast, is thorough, well informed, easy to read and practical. I thank you for this important contribution to the literature, and I am recommending it.(...)

Summary: Great Sex bears repeating
Review: Some things bear repeating and the efficacy of Michael Castleman's book Great Sex, is one of them.
Nowhere will a reader find another work that provides so much insightful information on how men and women can work together to create delectably healthy sexual relationships. From lackluster sex to male performance anxiety to the dearth of knowledge surrounding the female sexual response, Castleman tackles virtually every sexual issue affecting couples today.
According to Castleman, Great Sex is something a couple creates together, not something innate or imitated.
One of Castleman's most salient points comes in his discussion of media messages (primarily those conveyed through pornography) and how they wreak havoc on our personal sexual relations. He encourages us to understand that real life luxurious sex is far better than media inspired sex -- where there seems to be a rush to the genitals and then to intercourse.
Men who read this work will find a wealth of information and advice regarding penis size, ejaculatory control, masturbation, female pleasure, and the changes that come with age and that can occur through diet and exercise. I do believe men will breathe a sigh of relief when reading this book, for it lets them know they are not alone in their sexual struggles. As a woman, I was surprised to find that the majority of men experience sexual problems, too, and delighted to learn that my husband's problems were not problems at all, but common aspects of male sexuality.
There is another equally important way men will benefit from this book, and that is in the way it normalizes women as well. That is, Castleman has finally provided men and women with a book that doesn't approach female pleasure as if it were an anamoly, a mystery never to be solved. I've read many books for men about female pleasure, and most of them talk condescendingly about women's sexual response or they convey the notion that it is something that can never be understand because each woman is so different in terms of how she responds to sexual stimuli.
Castleman, however, approaches this subject outside the cloak of mystery and makes women's slower and more individualized sexual response easy to understand, completely normal, and full of potential. He stresses the normalcy of the vast majority of women who cannot orgasm through intercourse alone (a fact so important that Castleman, thankfully, repeats it on a number of occasions), and in doing so, Castleman encourages men and women to discard the age old belief that women, like men, should orgasm through intercourse and asks us to explore all the other avenues that can lead to orgasmic pleasure for both men and women.
This request alone erases the idea of foreplay (previously understood as a prelude to the real thing - intercourse) and makes all we do (kissing, touching, stroking, rubbing, licking, loving) the feature show. Moreover, it slows the pace of sex for both men and women and increases their potential ten fold for the kind of sex that will leave them completely sated and eager for the next encounter.
This is a must read for anyone who would like to experience - for a lifetime -- GREAT SEX.

Summary: Sexologist as a best friend
Review: The New Male Sexuality by Bernie Zilbergeld, was until now, the
'Bible' on male sexuality. However, it is too much like a text book .
In the fast lane of sexuality, it is important to be able to turn to new and updated information.
GREAT SEX, by Michael Castleman, is like having a sexologist for a best friend. Someone you can rely on to give you the latest and most sincere information. GREAT SEX emphasizes the importance of sensual sex and consequently removes the stress from 'performance' oriented sexual behavior.
It is a must for every woman and man, a great tool to read out loud to each other and apply to our sexual self education.
