The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Hot Sex':

Reviewer amazon.co.uk wrote:
The title of this book doesn't leave much room for misunderstanding. Much like the book itself, it's very clear and straightforward. If your sex life needs a little pep, or perhaps it never quite had that zing, then this book is packed full of useful advice and tips on how to get the best out of one of our favourite leisure activities. Tracey Cox, a leading sexpert from down-under, has clearly done her research and relays her findings with frankness, a great deal of humour and just about as much thoroughness as you could possibly wish for. Up-to-date and unashamed in its attitudes, there are chapters taking in all different aspects of sexual technique, starting with masturbation (which some people may be surprised to find she nominates as "the first, most important, skip-it-and-you're-doomed step to becoming a sexpert") and moving through chapters on foreplay, intercourse and orgasm. You may think this all you'd need to know; you'd be wrong. Further invaluable chapters deal with important related issues, like sexual etiquette, contraception and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), performance problems, sexual fantasies, gay and lesbian sex, and coping with the aftermath of abortion, rape and incest. The book is packed full of real-life anecdotes which add a dash of colour, and interesting factoids (for instance: "Number of women who've faked an orgasm: 56 per cent. Number of women who enjoy intercourse: 94.7 per cent"--well I never). There are no illustrations in the book, but as Ms Cox rightly points out, it's far more effective and enjoyable to work from a real-life model. I can't claim to have personally tested all her recommended methods, and many people, I'm sure, will feel that a good deal of this is old hat and that their own tried and tested techniques have served them well enough over the years. But there is a wealth of information here and there's bound to be something for even the most adept and experienced among us. Go on and treat yourself and your partner to a crash course in loving technique; even if it is just a refresher, you may be pleasantly surprised by the results.
