Customer Reviews

a good lay introduction ...

Men in Bed is a good lay introduction to what can be affecting a man's sexuality. A self-professed sex enthusiast, Barbara Keesling turned hobby into career after reading an epiphany-inducing article about a local sex clinic employing sexual surrogate partners. She goes on to earn a PhD in health psychology and write books like The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex and All Night Long. Here she draws equally from her academic background and extensive personal experience in describing the types of sexual difficulties heterosexual women might encounter in their invited bed partners such as premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, low desire, compulsive sexual behavior, and effects of age, medication, drugs and alcohol on sex. Her target audience is not the young sexually uninitiated woman, but rather someone who might perplexed by a never-previously-encountered issue. She achieves a cheerful older-experienced-sister tone, relaying accurate psychological/medical information and parlaying personal anecdotes. There's not too much very explicit, step-by-step instruction, more a general outline of how to approach the given issue. Although the book might benefit from some diagrams -- especially when she goes over anatomy -- it still stands as a non-judgmental, more reality-based than Cosmo primer on sexual issues women might encounter with their men in bed.
