Summary: "A Great Gift for Recharging Your Love Life"

My husband and I received this infomrative, tastefully photographed and fun book for our fifth anniversary present! I guess our friends thought it was time we reignited the passion we had at the beginning of our marriage.
With chapters based on music like The Adagio: Taking it Easy and Making it Last, A Capella, Amazing Oral Sex for You and Your Partner and Being Concert Master: Helping Your Partner Please You, this was an interesting and informative book. It covers non-traditional moves, the quickie and "get off that bed and onto the furniture," which I thought was a particularly fun chapter. All the information here could be gained if you read 12 other books but this book contained pretty much everything I hoped for plus a bit more. Great sex comes from knowing how to progress from one position to the next and that is where this book is different from other sex manuals. The information comes from the author's patients, who tried the positions at home and through trial and error came back with the best information available on what really works.

MMPS contains a caution against using porn as a sex education tool. A couple of reasons are that the bodies of porn actors are not average bodies and can intimidate some people and porn movies are made for the purpose of getting the best "money" shot and not what makes people feel really comfortable. These points are well taken, but I'm not sure I totally agree. Porn has its place if we know how to take it and it can enhance our fantasies if nothing else.

Overall this book is geared for younger (20s and 30s - we are in our 30s) couples, but there's lots of help for older couples as well and for people who've gotten to the point that they are taking each other for granted. We've had a lot of fun with the book. I also recommend The Sensuous Couple's (Flip Over) Guide to Seismic Oral Sex and Oral Sex She'll Never Forget: 50 Positions and Techniques That Will Make Her Orgasm Like She Never Has Before by Sonia Borg, Ph.D. for some great oral sex therapy. We've highly enjoyed both books.

Summary: "A healthy, informative, and fun read!"

As a college student in a young relationship, talking about sex and initiating new positions can be uncomfortable; however, Eric Garrison has the uncanny ability to make readers feel comfortable exploring their bodies and experimenting with sex in new ways. By using clever metaphors, tasteful language and pictures, Garrison has created a fun, easy-to-read manual that readers can relate to. The book is devoted to both his AND her pleasure, which makes it a great read for couples. Garrison also incorporates difficulty ratings, safety information, and advice that help couples work their way up to more challenging positions. My most favorite thing about the book: the advice is healthy and real. The author acknowledges that mistakes happen and encourages readers to laugh them off and try again--practice makes perfect, and you'll enjoy a whole lot of fun along the way!

Summary: "Sex Information With Creativity and Style (and Pictures!)"

In my college level sexuality classes, my students repeatedly ask me to recommend "a good sex book with pictures". I wanted to find one that had accurate information, a dose of education, and was sensitive about the issues different people have in their relationships. MMPS met all those criteria and more. Eric Garrison's prose is full of metaphors and amusing turns of phrase. In one of his recommendations for position changes he writes, "So let out his dingy before you invite him back to dock safely in your harbor." His words naturally make the person reading the book laugh out loud and want to poke their partner and repeat it.
The photographs are very tasteful, with no below the waist frontal nudity. Everyone has been beautifully airbrushed and glows with health. I would have liked more realistic looking couples of a variety of ages, but I have a feeling the publisher might have disagreed with me.
MMPS is an excellent book for heterosexual couples and singles of all ages who want to bring more grace, style, and imagination into their sexual repertoire. You can read all of the suggestions and details, or just look at the pictures and follow the highlights. It is several steps above the usual sexual position book (that's for sure), and has information that real people will really use to improve their lives. This book is about making genital contact more pleasurable and meaningful. It's a great gift book for newlyweds, anniversaries, or your sweetie for a special occasion.

Summary: "AASECT minded review"

Mastering Multiple Position Sex: Mind-Blowing Lovemaking Techniques That Create Unforgettable Orgasms. By Eric Garrison. Quiver, 2009.191 pgs Paperback, $19.99.

Sexuality counselor Eric Garrison's first book, Mastering Multiple Sex Positions, scrumptiously illustrates systematic methods to advance your bedroom experience. While spending years of guiding his clients through healthy integration of their sexual expression, Garrison was in his own process of integration, of sexual expression in this fresh how-to approach for satisfying sex. I opened the bright, royally colored book, taking my page-by-page, sweet time, my mouth slightly ajar. Pictures - the wonderfully arousing pictures - grace each section in explanatory detail. Closing my mouth at the sensation of salivation, I found my way to the couch, content to take my time getting to know the ins and outs of Garrison's work. His voice speaks loudest to the youthful heterosexual couple, which is echoed by the photographs. Garrison individually gauges the difficulty level in his suggestions for bodily intense sexual maneuvers. He also transitionally arranges sexual sequences to allow for optimal time, sensation, and intimacy for couples. In terms of value, the book is a treasure chest of enjoyment for couples looking to update, explore, and experience one another abundantly. Health professionals now have a new, refreshing tool to use in therapy, as well as to be taken home as homework for clients.

Summary: "Wonderful book for expanding anyone's sexual knowledge, beginner to advanced"

This book is terrific. It has a wide range of sex tips and positions for everyone from beginners to advanced lovers. My partners and I have also really enjoyed the way that the author arranges suggested positions as well as transitions between them to make sexual encounters that include experimentation inspired by this book flow well and feel natural. I would recommend this book to anybody interested in learning more about sex, especially in terms of spicing up their erotic life with new takes on old positions as well as some challenging and rewarding new additions. Excellent sex book, a perfect addition to any sexual person's library. A+
