Based on the cover of this book and knowing nothing else but what was writtne on the back when I bought it, I would not recomend this book. It’s misleading. Nowhere does it mention God or The Creator that he talks so much about or the fact that he’s a Christian psychologist. I was highly dissapointed when I found God on every single page of this book talking about the rights and wrongs of what God has planned for you as far as sex in marriage goes. This isn’t to say that I’m against God or don’t belive in Him, but really, that was not what I expected out of this book at all. I think some of the things he says could be used regardless of your religious beliefs, but much of it is too focused on what’s right in God’s eyes.

I think this book had a definite purpose to say that anything within the bounds of marriage is ok, including sex toys. I think most devout Christians will take offense to this. Not to mention he never bothers to comment that if one partner has biblical concerns about any act, the other partner should honor that. I didn’t find this book to uphold a biblical standard for the sexual union within marriage. There are much better books out there for couples who believe sex is a gift from God not to be abused with worldly attitudes.

The major flaw in this book is that it suffers the presumption that graphic detail equals profundity. It’s unnecessary, and in my view, pornographic descriptions (e.g., Chapter 7, “Oral Delights”) does nothing but to serve up shock masquerading as insight, and the book gives but passing comment to the deeper issues that contribute to truly satisfying, life-long monogamous intimacy (i.e., the building of trust, character, tenderness, commitment, etc.). Indeed, if sexual technique were the key to that area of life, this culture would have no need of any additional material. The topic would have been better served if approached from this angle: “We are arguably the most sex-saturated culture in the world, and yet the most sex-starved. Why?”
In short, it does a huge disservice to the Christian community, not only for the above reasons, but because it assumes to accurately portray how Christ himself would address the issue. There’s very little doubt in my mind He’d toss it in the trash.

If this book were written by a Hindu or a Muslim, all would find it totally abhorrent, but as the author focuses on the the “Christian” approach towards “marital sex”, then of course it is not at all objectionalble. We live in the most sex-saturated society on earth, and with all the sex and related innuendo everywhere from advertising to movies to books to the astronomical numbers of teenage pregnancies in this country, I am astounded that there are people out there who nevertheless still require basic instruction on sex from a “how-to-do” book… Where do these people live? On a separate planet??
