Relationships expert Tracey Cox, author of Hot Sex, admits that she is not currently "snuggled up on the couch with Mr. Perfect." Never mind--she sure knows relationships: good ones, lousy ones, flings, live-ins, and "first date fizzles." She's knowledgeable, reassuring, and very funny. First, Cox discusses the advantages of being single (yeah, yeah) and helps you figure out what kind of partner/relationship you're seeking and where to find him or her. Then she takes you through getting that first date.

As she explores falling in love, evaluating your relationship, and getting closer to commitment, Cox is feisty and irreverent. One chapter's subtitle is "Getting from Bonking-Each-Other-Senseless to Couplesville (Without Losing the Urge)." She discusses sex directly and wittily, explaining, for example, why you might have been hungry for sex when you weren't getting any but you're indifferent when it's available in an ongoing relationship: "It's a bit like Thanksgiving. You can smell that turkey cooking and you're practically drooling. Come the day after, you'd rather eat mashed up grasshoppers than face another slice." Keeping sex alive in a relationship is linked with keeping communication alive, and Cox gives you tips for accomplishing this, too. Other topics include jealousy, sex after marriage, infidelity, destructive relationships, and how to get over a break-up. --Joan Price

5 out of 5 stars IF YOU HAVE TO COMMIT CRIMES TO GET THIS BOOK, DO IT........2004-01-26

DO WHATEVER YOU MUST TO GET THIS BOOK.

5 out of 5 stars Entertaining book, very insightful.......2004-01-07

I found this book to be very witty and real. I bought it to help me through a break up (it did) but have read it 3 times. I read another review here where the lady didn't like some of Tracey's advice. Well, sure any book you read will have some things in it that you don't agree with. This book overall does an excellent job of "keeping it real". I laughed while reading it, but was also able to use the practical advice given. I highly recommend this book to anyone. There is something in it for all!

2 out of 5 stars Should be retitled "Hot Air".......2002-03-23

I found many questionable things in this book, like:

1. Someone who's renovating their house is "almost certainly attached". Like singles don't do that, too?

2. Saying "I love you" without meaning it is a "harmless male fib" for "I want to sleep with you". (this is where my relationship problems are - I can't read minds)

3. You can remain friends with an ex "if the split was mutual". But what if, even in a mutual split, there was deception, abuse and/or manipulation involved? Do friends of the same sex treat each other this way? I believe a couple can remain friends after a breakup, but ONLY IF both parties played fair throughout the relationship, which is rarely the case. Usually, "Let's be friends" means "I don't want to face the consequences of my behavior".

4. "I'll call you" is another "harmless fib"...

5. A size 12 is a "cow". Thanks, Tracey!

5 out of 5 stars I'll give this book 5 stars!.......2001-04-08

I didn't finish reading this book yet but from what I read up until now I would say that this is a very good book. Her style is very relaxed. She obviously knows quite a lot about relationships. Her book might be a little bit too targeted for women though, but I would still definitely recommend this book for men. It talks about EVERYTHING! From the most basic stuff to the most advanced stuff. Good Book!

5 out of 5 stars Rational, sensible, and useful information and advice.......2000-09-01

Between the screaming chartreuse and hot pink covers of this book are several hundred pages of utterly calm and good advice on love relationships. The title is misleading, but it does take advantage of the success of Cox's first book, "Hot Sex." In fact, a more apt title would be "Rational Relationships" - not very catchy.

Cox is respectful of both sides of every story, and her advice is middle-of-the-road, and very reasonable. She takes partnership seriously, but includes a wonderful chapter on what's great about being on one's own, too.

For adults, much of what she promotes and explains has perhaps been seen elsewhere - in my case, in the many advice columns, magazine articles, and self-help books that have come my way over the years.

But for teenagers and young adults, I would recommend this book without reservation. In fact it's a book that a really good high school "Health" class might include as recommended reading. All kids would benefit from its wisdom.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A man's point of view.......2007-07-25

I enjoyed this book. I purchased the book at a book signing. I think the author is a breath of fresh air, in a genre that seems to be filled with copy cats. and writters who are InZane. I like the fact that she incorporates questions from her radio show. I'd like to see her handle tales of erotica.

5 out of 5 stars Married Sex Made Much Hotter.......2007-05-21

Picked up this little book to get some quick tips on boosting my sex life with my husband. Who knew that a book could make such a difference? I have learned how to stroke, dress, tease and play more efficiently. Great chapters: long-term sex tips, boy toys, mouth play and group play. All subjects are covered and Black let's you decide if it is your cup of tea. I was most impressed with Black's overall message to women: do only what you are comfortable doing, but make sure you always know what is available to you sexually. A must read for both single and married women!

5 out of 5 stars My husband just got a workout - Great Sex in a Book.......2007-05-20

I purchased this book after hearing the author on NPR and I found it informative, funny and I put the tips to work over the weekend. I loved that Black threw in her personal experiences and those of her listeners and readers. The book is full of tips for all types of situations: married, single, straight, gay and also there are a lot of soft sex tips for those looking to feel sexy on the inside. The best chapters were those on rekindling long-term sex, boy toys, oral play and anal sex. The book explained everything clearly and allowed me to make a more informed decision as to what my favorite kink was. The chapter on buzzed sex was interesting too because we all have been there:)

Thanks for giving married women something sexy to talk about with their husbands!

2 out of 5 stars Not what I expected.......2007-05-20

While some of the items in this book were "interesting" to say the least, I was TOTALLY unhappy about the advice she gives for a MARRIED woman who is unsatisfied. Her advice? Find a boy-toy on the side to regain her confidence and feel desired. What?! How about have a talk with your mate and try to compromise so that the relationship is mutually satisfying sexually. Since when has cheating been a remedy for unhappiness in a marriage? Nor did I care for her advice about having sex while you are high...why would an author promote smoking an illegal substance in order to reach a sexual peak? Much of the advice in this book seemed to be given by a high school or college student and doesn't seem to be very pratical. If you are contemplating using this book as a resource for improving your sex life, SAVE YOUR MONEY...it isn't worth the price tag!

4 out of 5 stars Helped Me Get Freaky!!!!.......2007-04-09

A quick passion guide that gives you good ways to step up your sex game both mentally and physically. It is written in a conversational style that is witty, intelligent and real. I have actually encouraged my girls to pick up this book too so that I don't have all of the secrets. I look forward to more books from this new voice in relationships.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars shocked and very, very disappointed.......2007-09-19

This is some very old school thinking that is no longer relevant to current world marketing. Suggesting that the possibility of the demise of a loved one is a useful emotional button to push to increase profits is irresponsible. Along with traditionalism antics and religious slanders, I was shocked something like this would even print and made me feel like I was involved in sleazy car sales. The author even takes credit for a marketing campaign a co-worker came up with! Outrageous! Personally, I am all for freedom of speech and buying/reading what you support, but I would urge marketers, no matter what level of an organization they belong, to look to more responsible, ethical, and orginal ways of marketing. Instead, I would look for much better resources for current industry practices. This book is definitely being returned.

5 out of 5 stars A must read for anyone selling anything.......2007-04-29

Barry Feig was on my radio show [...]. He delivered some wonderful insight. The interview is available until May 15, 2007 on the website.

The book is fabulous. I was missing some detailed understanding about emotional selling and understanding what emotions customers buy with. This filled in those blanks plus gave me ideas on how I can use the information to reach more customers and produce more sales.

If you are a copywriter, as I am, you will want to use this material for writing better copy.

This is a shelf keeper that you want to reach for whenever you need closer understanding as to why prospects or buying a certain way. I look forward to keeping my copy of the book on my shelf for a long time to come.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Own for Any Marketer.......2007-02-01

If you're looking for insights into what makes people tick in order to sell something to them, this is worth your consideration as that's what it's all about. Some of the information you may read and say to yourself "I knew that," but there will be just as many "ah-ha!" moments mixed in as well.

I believe every marketer should own this book and keep it in their library for future reference.

5 out of 5 stars Hands down the most interesting and useful marketing book I own.......2006-11-26

Finally...the mechanism of purchasing decisions revealed in a concise, powerful, and immediately useful manner. The book is far underpriced and I bought two..one in my office and one that travels with me. Up there with E-Myth as a modern small business classic. No-brainer, must-read.

I bought it, I read it. It was long on vague examples and advertising, short on content-a ripoff!!! I am really really disappointed in this book. Save your money for elsewhere!

1 out of 5 stars A complete waste of money...........2006-03-27

If you are wanting to read a sales commercial during each chapter written, then buy this book. By the time I realized what each chapter was doing (about half way through), I merely began to gleem over the remaining chapters just to verify all was indeed a sales pitch of Agora Finacial services prior to throwing the book in the trash. Now I have never thrown a book in the trash, much less ever given an online review, however the book does not explain any "how to's", other than buying into Agora's services to obtain the 'how to' intelligence - I feel it's unethical to have to 'pay' for an infomercial especially without that issue being disclosed.


1 out of 5 stars Agora takes your money, doesn't make it.......2006-01-25

Knowing that it is published by Agora, I won't even bother reading the book even if it comes for free. Agora (including Taipan newsletter), are the guys that use sharp copy writers and fictitious names and are catering to the gullable through mass mail "exclusive" offers. Stay away from it. A good chance that this book is the worst investment you make and you can't even take a put option on it!

1 out of 5 stars Worthless.......2006-01-23

An overpriced book acting as a promo for expensive services. I can't believe I bought this book.

4 out of 5 stars Great Read for Any Trader .......2006-01-20

I'm rather new to the investment arena and this book is exactly what I needed to get me on the path to becoming a more successful trader. I've read a lot of investing books and each one showed me how to make profits, but only with one trading system. If the market changed, I was going to lose money. With Hot Trading Secrets, Christoph's 13 systems are really giving me an edge on the market by offering various options for any situation. I highly recommend it for traders at any level.

Book Description

The early decades of American popular music-Stephen Foster, Scott Joplin, John Philip Sousa, Enrico Caruso-are, for most listeners, the dark ages. It wasn't until the mid-1920s that the full spectrum of this music-black and white, urban and rural, sophisticated and crude-made it onto records for all to hear. This book brings a forgotten music, hot music, to life by describing how it became the dominant American music-how it outlasted sentimental waltzes and parlor ballads, symphonic marches and Tin Pan Alley novelty numbers-and how it became rock 'n' roll. It reveals that the young men and women of that bygone era had the same musical instincts as their descendants Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, and even Ozzy Osbourne. In minstrelsy, ragtime, brass bands, early jazz and blues, fiddle music, and many other forms, there was as much stomping and swerving as can be found in the most exciting performances of hot jazz, funk, and rock. Along the way, it explains how the strange combination of African with Scotch and Irish influences made music in the United States vastly different from other African and Caribbean musics; shares terrific stories about minstrel shows, "coon" songs, whorehouses, knife fights, and other low-life phenomena; and showcases a motley collection of performers heretofore unknown to all but the most avid musicologists and collectors.

American music didn't get hot suddenly in the 1950's with the arrival of Rock 'n' Roll. It didn't get sexy when Jazz provided the soundtrack to hi-jinx in the back seat of a Model A Ford in the 1920's. American music, with serendipitous blend of African and Celtic influences, has been scaring church folk and turning good girls bad since the 19th century. David Wondrich, with great wit and careful research, tells the quintessentially american story of our funky popular music.

Book Description

The first and only guide for gay men on how to make sure that when they go out looking to hook up, they don't come home disappointed. Jonathan Bass breaks it all down so that any guy can be getting more than he's getting now. In this book, you'll find the pros and cons of where to hunt: bars, clubs, sex clubs, gay resorts, vacation spots. And because this is the online age, there's also a chat room guide: what certain phrases mean and what to look out for-because we all know men don't lie, right? You'll get tips on the importance of self-assuredness and knowing how to flirt; how to convince a guy to try something new (like you!); how to send the right signals; how to make the other guys he's checking out look bad; and how to use your friends to help you get laid. You will also learn how to navigate the gray area between one-night stands and dating, and finally you'll learn sleeping-around etiquette along the lines of how not to be rude when you're being a naughty boy.

4 out of 5 stars Very Helpful.......2006-10-03

I guess I could be described as a "newby" a relatively attractive guy who could use some helpful hints when it comes to hooking up. I got some useful tips regarding confidence, posture and pickup lines. I recommend this book for all gay men looking to score a little more than they are right now. In the advertisement , it said the book would give tips on how to make the other guys he's checking look bad. Unless I'm blind, there was nothing in the book about that. So for that reason I only gave it 4 stars

2 out of 5 stars Not helpful .......2006-09-18

I found most of the advice in this book to be overly obvious and not very useful. Like where to go to meet guys--bars, saunas, gyms, gourmet food stores--duh! Tell me something I haven't already thought of, and tell me some lines that are really funny and not over the top stuff like, "Where can I find the freshest meat?" Who in the world really says that? I felt like the author treated the whole business of cruising and meeting guys to be a big joke, not the fine art that it is, and something that we really need to work on. Also, some of the stuff in there was just wrong--like "foreplay is for girls!" What??? I don't know what planet this guy is from, but foreplay, anticipation, and attraction are the hottest parts of chemistry that two males can share. If you want real advice on this, I think you're better off looking in the straight aisle, i.e. Double Your Dating by David deAngelo (a downloadable e-book). I've picked up some great tips there and have used them on boys.

5 out of 5 stars Good advice indeed!.......2005-07-29

Where does a shy guy go to answer questions about how to meet other guys? I don't know about you but for this reader "How to get Laid" was just the answer. Thank you Mr. Bass for your useful hints and guidelines for those of us who aren't a Greek god amongst our homo brothers. Come to think of it, even you super hotties can probably learn a thing or two from this book. It's funny and frank and always informative. "How to get Laid" has helped me understand many things about confidence, personal grooming and even etiquette rules when cruising some where other than just your local gay bar. Love the illustrations too!

I'm giving this to my gay friends who don't know the difference between a booty call and a boyfriend. They will learn!

While not everyone can use every tip, there are some great, universal hints in here about attracting guys to you. This is perfect for newbies, or guys (and we all know guys like this) who could get a lot of play if they were just a bit more conscious about their body language and more aware of how they appear to others. Plus there's a big section on threeways, non-monogamy, and how to get yourself out of bad hook-up situations. I'd have saved myself a lot of time if I'd been given this when I was 20. There are some really fun illustrations here too.

5 out of 5 stars From the Author.......2002-09-11

Ok, you have to expect that I would rate my own book 5 stars - who wouldn't? I'm proud of this book because it is different from other hot rod books. Most rod books are titled "Hot Rods by Me - the Legend!" and they only give you one point of view - the author's. I have been involved with old cars for years but rather than give my single point of view, I interviewed hot rod shops all over the country so you could gain the expertise of multiple professionals at once. The single reason for failed hot rod projects is the lack of planning. This book helps you plan the entire project. You will be able to set budgets, goals, inspect shops and assess your skills to see what steps you can do yourself. The book is packed with online resources for shops and part suppliers; and is a must for any new hot rodder! If you are using a classic body, my first book, "Modern Techniques for Auto Restoration" may be helpful too. Good luck!

5 out of 5 stars Great book to reinforce science concepts!.......2007-08-08

Reading this book to my class will make the difference between birds' and mammals' hot-bloodedness and reptiles', amphibians', and fish's cold-bloodedness much easier for my third graders to understand. It also is on the school's Accelerated Reader list, so they can then reread the book on their own and can take a test on it.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about animals and their characteristics.

From hitting the weights to putting your job in perspective, the 400-plus-page Men's Health Longevity Program guides you through a wide-ranging, scientifically proven, 12-week course designed to add a decade or more to your life.

Men who want to know how they can slow their body's inevitable deterioration from age will find a wealth of insightful advice, attributed to health professionals from various fields. The editors at Men's Health books are adept at making medical information meaningful and interesting to regular guys. Clear, step-by-step photos show how to flex your way through the exercise routines without reaching for the ice pack.

Each week of the longevity program has its own chapter with a unique theme, from "eating for maximum energy" to "rediscovering your sense of purpose." Within each week, you're assigned six daily tasks. Some are as simple as eating a good breakfast, while others call for a time--and monetary--commitment, such as setting up a home workout area.

The idea is that after three months you'll have sampled "almost every possible thing you can do to improve and lengthen your life," but only by turning many of these tasks into habits will you earn the bonus years of good health. --Bryan Berry

The book gives excellent advise on maintaining a healthy lifestyle for living a long life. I am 39 and wish I would have read this book years ago...

5 out of 5 stars Good advice on how to look and feel better.......2001-03-08

I was a little leery about purchasing this book. So many of the diet or fitness books that are available are either full of "fluff" and contain little valuable information or they are filled with trendy, speculative, and untested recommendations. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. This program is filled with solid advice on a variety of topics including exercise, diet, relaxation, and supplements. It even has sections that deal with hair care, skin care, grooming, and clothing styles.

The basic premise of this book is that if you exercise, eat well, and feel good about yourself, you will live a longer and happier life. The book is divided into 12 weeks, with each week focusing on a certain topic (e.g. eating healthy). Each day of the week, you are given an "assignment" to do. An assignment may be to do some upper body exercises or buy some grooming products. In theory, you are supposed to follow this routine by reading and completing each day's assignment on that day, then read and complete the next assignment tomorrow, and so on. In reality, most people will probably do what I did and read this like any other book, over a couple of days.

The recommendations in this book seem to be based on reputable scientific research. It is apparent that they authors have done their homework and they often provide quotes from various experts or research studies. I was also please to learn that their recommendation seemed to be very current. Even research that was published within the last year or so is quoted in this book.

It is apparent that several authors wrote this book and I found a couple of instances where the book contradicts itself. Example: In one chapter they warn against running with hand weights because it alters your natural stride and this can cause problems. In a later chapter, hand weights are recommended as way to slow yourself down if you run faster than your running partner. None of these contradictions are material though and this is a minor criticism.

This is a review of the unabridged AUDIBLE.COM (downloadable audio) version of this book. The only problem with this format, for this type of book, is that this book often list items (e.g. foods you should buy). Unless you have paper handy, and can write fast, you'll miss these. The book also describes various exercise or stretching techniques. The verbal descriptions are OK, but without a drawing or photo to show you how to perform the maneuvers, it is often difficult to translate the words into actions.

Overall I was very pleased with this purchase. If you want to improve the way you look and feel, I'd highly recommend this book.
