Sex can bring lovers closer together than any other activity, and it can produce wonderful sensations and heightened emotions. But at the same time it can be the thing that causes the most shyness, nervousness and embarrassment - and unless carefully handled and sympathetically exercised it can result in anxiety and outright misery.

Have you ever wondered how best to break the ice on a date; what kind of massage or aromatherapy would create the best mood; why you are attracted to a certain kind of person; how best to stimulate a partner in the different zones of their body? While sex is all around us, from movies to magazines to TV and advertising billboards, as well as on the thoughts of many of us many times a day, do we really know as much about it and understand it as well as we could?

This book has been written to provide an accessible, easy-to-use manual that will give absolute confidence and assurance - to answer all those questions you have had on your mind but have lacked the opportunity or boldness to ask. The book goes further, offering insights for the experienced with advanced techniques and innovative ideas to keep relationships even more exciting.

With chapters on the excitement of flirting and the joy of massage, as well as detailed descriptions of sexual positions and food for seduction, plus frank discussions of subjects often thought taboo, this book will accompany you through a sexual journey of pleasure from first date to long-term relationship. All the information you need about contraception and sexual health, as well as features on erogenous zones, orgasms, fetishes and erotica, are clearly and sensitively presented with over 1000 photographs.

This volume is designed to help all potential lovers to overcome any anxieties, to understand what stimulates partners and to give it to them, and to attain the fulfilment of pleasure in loving relationships enhanced by the excitement and erotic enjoyment of physical sensation.
