Are you just another AFC ("average frustrated chump") trying to meet an HB ("hot babe")? How would you like to "full-close" with a Penthouse Pet of the Year? The answers, my friend, are in Neil Strauss's entertaining book The Game. Strauss was a self-described chick repellant--complete with large, bumpy nose, small, beady eyes, glasses, balding head, and, worst of all, painful shyness around women. He felt like "half a man." That is, until a book editor asked him to investigate the community of pickup artists. Strauss's life was transformed. He spent two years bedding some fine chiquitas and studying with some of the North America's most suave gents--including the best of them all, the God of the pickup "community," a man named Mystery.
Mystery is an aspiring Toronto magician who charges $2,250 for a weekend pickup workshop. He is not much to look at: a cross between a vampire and a computer geek. But by using high-powered marketing techniques he's turned seduction into an effortless craft--even inventing his own vocabulary. His technique sounds like a car salesman's tip sheet: his main rule is FMAC--find, meet, attract, close. He employs the "three-second rule"--always approach a woman within three seconds of first seeing her in order to avoid getting shy. Other tricks: Intrigue a beautiful woman by pretending to be unaffected by her charm; also, never hit on a woman right away. Start with a disarming, innocent remark, like "Do you think magic spells work?" or "Oh my god, did you see those two girls fighting outside?" And finally, the most important characteristic of the pickup artist--smile.
After two years, Strauss ends up becoming almost as successful as Mystery, but he comes to an important realization. His techniques were actually off-putting to the woman he ended up falling in love with. And they never prepared him for actually having a relationship. After a while, he ran out of one-liners and had to have a real conversation. Still, The Game is a great read that may help some AFCs come out of their shells. --Alex Roslin
Book Description
Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the bestselling author, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the year -- guaranteed to change the lives of men and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever.
On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist) to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. And then things really start to get strange -- and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence.
The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince -- to prisoner in the most unforgettable book of the year.

Compelling tale - couldn't put it down.......2007-10-15
Neil Strauss, who co-authored bestsellers about Motley Crue and Jenna Jameson, nails it again with another great tale into the bizarre worlds most of us never visit. This isn't so much a how to pick up women guide. It's a captivating story line as he ventures into the seduction community and grows his skills and insight into his own existence. Truly fascinating. Much of the material the average guy cannot relate to, or will ever experience, but as a page turner it is truly masterful.
I would couple this book with one recommended above by Amazon, The Professional Bachelor Dating Guide - How to Exploit Her Inner Psycho. As you read them, you realize the techniques they teach parallel how to "win friends and influence people", along with how to seduce the babes. The skills dissect and perfect being charismatic and comfortable in new situations with strangers. Get both books, they will accelerate your self-confidence to a very high level; for me it's been life changing.
Great lessons in personality transformation.......2007-10-12
Having seen Neil's interviews on the chunky feminist TV circuit and he how handled the bitter hens with ease, I bought The Game. A very intriguing and unusual tale told with some ingenious to bizarre characters throughout.
Neil's written for Rolling Stone and had other great books like The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band; this book carries on with his engaging writing style. Highly recommended.
The game.......2007-10-11
Good story. However, if one listens to Mystery's tale about the scorpion, which can't change its nature even if it has to die, then how on earth a male in his thirties (fourties?) is able to transform his habits in couple of years? A reader is being familirized with the PUA terminology like - elicit values, field test; fluff, opener etc., where talking is the most essential part. But hey, then Style brags about picking up a Czech girl who "has no more than a dozen words of English in her vocabulary"! Bars and clubs are where the action here goes on, yes, but what about everyday environment like a store, shop, show, queue. Unfortunately, in the book those are just couple epizodes.
And finally, Neil Strauss says that a shrunken-apple face betrays one's Eastern European origins (p.406). Interesting. It reminded me of an Italian prison doctor Cesare Lambrose, who in the 19th century suggested that physiological traits such as the measurements of one's cheek bones or hairline, or a cleft palate were indicative of one's atavistic criminal tendencies.
This book aint no blueprint for success. I wish it were.......2007-10-11
I tried some of the suggested methods in the book. They didn't work, at least not exactly. I did get a few positive responses. Well, let me put it this way: "The sex you want, you aren't getting, and the sex you're getting , you don't want..."
Got so much more out of it than I could ever have imagined!.......2007-10-10
I was a depressed wreck before reading your book. Now I am a dating success. Another bestseller that I highly recommend- The Exclusive Layguide: When Dating and Having Sex with Incredibly Hot Women is No Longer Mirage Even If You Don't Look Like a Model or Don't Make a Fortune Both books are well worth the money!
Book Description
More than 65 delightful games and activities to jump-start your baby's amazing brainpower
Can simply singing a song or blowing a dandelion under a toddler's nose help her mind to blossom? Can your baby count, remember events, and solve problems even before he can talk? The exciting answer to both questions is yes!
Breakthrough research is revealing the extraordinary inborn abilities of infants.
It is also showing how experiences during the first years of life profoundly
influence intelligence, creativity, language development-and even later
reading and math skills.
Now two psychologists and child development experts-authors of the bestselling Baby Signs-have created a delightful guide for parents based on the most up-to-date knowledge of how babies discover the world. You'll learn how to:
_ Create a homemade mobile to stimulate your three-month-old's delight in solving problems
_ Play a patty-cake game to help your two-year-old
make logical connections
_ Initiate bedtime conversations that build your child's memory and sense of personal history
_ Develop "Baby Signs" to help your toddler communicate before he or she can talk
_ Stimulate your child's natural number skills with puppets and counting games
_ Use nursery rhymes and special read-aloud techniques to foster reading readiness
_ Nurture budding creativity with humor and fantasy play
_ And much more!
Baby Minds is not another program for creating "super babies." Instead it
builds on activities that babies instinctively love to develop their unique abilities and make your daily interactions full of the joy of discovery-for both of you.
Customer Reviews:
Fabulous book - every parent should have!.......2007-08-01
I read this book and then bought a copy so I could keep it as a reference. Full of fascinating information about baby development that every parent should know -- I was surprised to learn just how advanced babies' minds are as soon as they are born, how they are much more aware of the world around them than previously thought. This book has many ideas of how to capitalize on your baby's brain development as s/he grows. Simple and fun games to play and ways to interact with your child. I love this book and have used many of the ideas already with my 8-month-old daughter.
Focusing Mr. Live Wire.......2007-05-13
Our first and only grandchild has the typical inquisitive mind of a toddler. This book helps us to offer additional play that will encourage the mind. It is the small things that have influenced him the most.
Great info on baby's brains!.......2007-03-28
Sort of a review of "Early Childhood Development" courses. With reference to Skinner and Vygotsky's work. Very interesting and a fast, easy read.
Interesting but wordy.......2006-11-04
This is an interesting book and it goes into detail about little minds, but some of it may be too technical for parents who just want to learn the games and not why or how they stimulate. Some parents might not have time to read all the background info and would like to just get down to the fun part, which is a little bit difficult with this book. Still, if you have the time to devote to this book, it really is interesting and enlightening and may encourage you to try to develop even more games to stimulate your child's growing mind which is certainly a good thing!

Semyon Dukach couldn't believe how easy the money was. In one weekend, the MIT math genius and his team of geeks had made $200,000 playing the blackjack tables in Las Vegas. They hadn't cheated. Instead, they had discovered one of humanity's greatest holy grails: a system to beat the casino. They had rendered obsolete the old saying that the house always wins. Dukach and his friends made millions during the 1990s playing blackjack in the world's top casinos, right under the noses of pit bosses and security consultants who thought they had seen it all. Dukach's story is told in author Ben Mezrich's vividly narrated book Busting Vegas.
Mezrich, the author of previous bestsellers about MIT gamblers and a colorful Ivy League trader in Japan, tells how Dukach's crew used a system that Vegas had never seen before. Dukach, the son of Russian immigrants who grew up in the poorest neighborhoods of New Jersey and Houston, was determined to climb out of poverty and help his family. His system didn't involve the commonly used techniques of card counting. Posing as an arms dealer or dentist, Dukach deliberately sought out blackjack dealers with small hands or thin fingers who frequently didn't conceal the bottom card when they shuffled the cards. Dukach would often manage to get a glimpse at the bottom card. This was highly significant because it was the card the dealer would hand the player to cut the deck. Dukach had practiced a technique to insert the card in a precise spot in the deck and then make big bets when the card was dealt. Dukach and his team ended up barred from casinos, threatened at gunpoint, and beaten in Vegas's notorious back rooms. This is a riveting yarn. —Alex Roslin
Book Description
The exclusive, pulse–pounding follow–up to Bringing Down the House–where the stakes are higher, the players bolder, and the scheme more high–risk.
For nearly five years, Semyon Dukach was known as The Darling Of Las Vegas–the biggest high roller to hit sin city in decades, a hotshot kid with a seemingly unlimitted bankroll and an even more unlimited lust for big money action. He'd hit the city every weekend, a string of beautiful women at his side–throwing cash at the blackjack tables in increasingly enormous amounts. Some believed he was a Russian arms dealer, others believed he was a pop star from Eastern Europe. But the truth was even more fantastic: He was a twenty one year old grad student who spoke five languages, an expert in computers and mathematics. He had a plan that would one day make him richer than anyone could possibly imagine. He used his genius to create a dangerous money–making scheme called "Busting the Dealer"–a scheme only a mathematics genius could have created. More dangerous than the simpler card counting he had been practicing with other pals–bolder, badder, more risky–"Busting the Dealer" was easier for the dealer to tell when one was practicing it.
With "Busting the Dealer," The Darling of Las Vegas quickly became a legend in the world of cards and casinos; the chronicle of his exploits are a Hollywood movie come to life. He became the only person banned from the island of Aruba. He was held, at gunpoint, in a cave in Monte Carlo and told by liaisons of the royal family that if he ever returned, he'd be murdered. After a death–defying plane crash, he crawled into a burning Cessna–on two broken feet–to rescue four hundred thousand dollars won from an Atlantic City casino. He hit cruise ships, charity balls, wherever there was a game worth beating, anywhere in the world. Along the way, he fell in love with his best friend's girlfriend, was betrayed by his own teammates–and nearly lost his life.
This is the startling true story of another group of MIT friends who changed the course of Vegas history–and this time, the stakes have been raised to epic proportions. A tale of monumental excess, sex, love, violence, and statistics,
Customer Reviews:
Busting Vegas.......2007-10-10
I was fascinated by this book. Not only the methods the players used against the casinos, but also the different situations they found themselves in and the lifestyle they led while doing their gambling thing. I ripped through the book in 2 days.
A fun quick easy read........2007-08-23
Busting Vegas is a fun thrilling read which can be done very quickly. This is an alluring story about students from MIT who decide to set up a club for Blackjack for the sole purpose of taking down the casinos. Using specific techniques the students developed and honed within the halls of the Cambridge, MA university, they set out for the ride of their life with big money, false identities and incredible bravado. While I will not give away the ending, I will say that the book reads like any "popcorn novel", fast paced and thrilling. For a great end of the summer read check it out, you will not be disappointed.
Flawed, But Ferociously Readable.......2007-07-23
I'm still not sure if this is non-fiction. The events evidently happened a long time ago. It leaves a lot of unanswered questions, such as whether the 'system' these MIT students devised is still in use by others, where these kids are now and what they ever did with their 'earnings.' Despite some shortcomings, the author's writing style is fast and compelling, so that you want to know what happens next. One of the better beating-Las-Vegas tales out there.
Clever, but terribly written.......2007-06-25
This is a fun little summer read. Smarty-pants MIT geeks figure out some ways to count cards in blackjack, and win it all! Then, of course, it all comes crashing down! The clever methods turn out to be more or less brute force: count and commit stuff to memory, then time your bets just right. I guess I was hoping for something more MIT-worthy.
Unfortunately, this book is so badly-written it's almost unbearable to read. I wasn't expecting great non-fiction, but this is *bad*. Here's an example: describing a "grueling" month of training the team goes through before hitting Vegas, we're told that the students made "biweekly" trips to a local casino. Really? Two whole trips isn't exactly "grueling" training. (Maybe the author meant "twice weekly"?) This is followed by "every ten days, the team endured 'checkouts'"--basically pop quizzes. Every *ten* days? So...that makes three times during this so-called intense month? This doesn't exactly paint a picture of the team grinding away in Boston in preparation for the big score, it sounds kinda like some kids playing cards every once in a while.
The whole book can't seem to strike the right tone of reality. This *is* a true story, but it isn't told straight. Details are needlessly specific (how many books on a bookcase, the color of a pair of shoes, how good a cup of tea is, and so on). But these are details that aren't just irrelevant to the story, but impossible to recall. It's clear that the author is simply filling in information here in hopes that it all seems more "real". Problem is, it's not possible to tell when these details *are* real, and so everything seems equally fake, and you end up wondering: when Owen was in that secret back room at the casino, did he really get beat up and handcuffed? Did the security team really threaten him like that? Or are those details just imagined, too? If this was pure fiction, it'd be ok, but in a supposedly non-fiction book, it feels mostly made-up.
Exciting Read.......2007-06-19
Mezrich puts together another great story about a group of students from MIT who take on Vegas. Other than the techniques used however, I didn't see much of a difference between this book and "Bringing Down the House." If you had to pick one, read "Busting Vegas." Exciting book, but nothing new from Mezrich.

"Authentic love thrives on honesty and shimmers with truth ... [it] flexes and bends with the fluctuating needs and changes of each partner." Whether you're looking for a relationship or seeking to improve the one you're in, If Love Is a Game, These Are the Rules packs a wallop. Author Cherie Carter-Scott has figured out what makes relationships work--and fail--and she doles out insightful advice. Carter-Scott follows the same format as her successful If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules; she presents the 10 rules and expands each in its own chapter, with plenty of anecdotes to clarify how these rules play out. The 10 rules may seem obvious at first glance (e.g., "Negotiation will be required" and "Your relationship will be challenged by change"), but Carter-Scott keeps scoping out deeper and deeper levels and teaching practical exercises for using the information. For example, rule 3 is "Creating Love Is a Process." Sure, we know that. But she describes each step of the process--1, connection; 2, exploration; 3, evaluation; 4, building intimacy; 5, commitment--and presents an array of strategies for making the most of each one. Following Carter-Scott's rules can't help but improve your relationship--or the likelihood of finding the right one! --Joan Price
Book Description
Do you wish you knew the rules for the game of love?
In her #1 New York Times bestseller
If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules, Chérie Carter-Scott gave us ten rules for conquering life's challenges and managing its unpredictable ups and downs. Now, in
If Love Is a Game, These Are the Rules, she presents ten simple rules to help us find true love and create long-lasting, authentic relationships.
After twenty-five years of conducting workshops and seminars, Chérie has discovered that the most important--and often the most difficult--part of the human experience is partnership. Everyone is either looking for love or trying to find a way to sustain and feed the love that they already have. Chérie's ten rules are universal truths that we inherently know but often lose sight of in the confusing game of romance--rules as simple as "You Must Love Yourself First," "Communication Is Essential," and "You Must Nurture the Relationship for It to Thrive." Once understood and embraced, her rules help us learn more about our true selves and our needs--and make us better able to meet the needs of others.
As the ten rules show, building and sustaining authentic love is a delicate process that requires negotiation and communication, and while love is often challenged by change, it provides a variety of opportunities for us to grow as individuals. In her inimitably warm and inviting style, Chérie shares her own insights into love's journey, from building intimacy and taking the risk of commitment to rekindling the faded flame by bringing back the "sizzle factor." Her inspirational stories, coupled with practical exercises--such as creating a criteria list for a potential mate or making an outline for a formal relationship "check-in"--will bring out the authentic lover in each of us. Fresh and inspiring,
If Love Is a Game, These Are the Rules is a perfect guide to living a real-life "happily ever after".

Absolutely Awsome Must Read Book!!!!!!!.......2007-03-29
I absolutely LOVE this book!!! It is so helpful and insightful!!! It helps you get everything into perspective and teaches you not only how to love another but how to love yourself as well! I recommend this book to anyone and everyone! I have already told so many people about it!!!
To love and be loved.......2006-11-14
This book has been a wake-up call for me. It helped me understand myself and my partner in life. It has taught me how to develop and maintain a lasting authentic relationship.
Great book! Not boring at all..........2005-11-23
(Sorry, English is not my mother-tongue.)
This is a great relationship-book! You won't find boring advice that you need to be supportive to your partner, you need to cherish him / her as often you could... but straightly to the point, Cherie will tell you that you need to differentiate being supportive and controlling... etc.
Those things commonly happened in our relationships, and it's nice to have someone reminded us to be a better person for our beloved one. Worth to collect. Recommended for you who're still single, also for married couple.
I'm finished reading this book, but I still use this book as reference, when I feel my relationship start getting trouble. And however, it helps!
If Love is a Game here are the Rules.......2004-08-11
This was a really good book. It gave me a lot of good insight on what to look for in a spouce. It also taught me some things about myself. I recommend this book to anyone who seem to be finding love in all the wrong places.
MEN TAKE NOTE.......2001-11-21
As a man, I am critical of some of the self-help books written by women. Invariably, I find elements that either misrepresent men's attitudes or totally ignore them. "If Love Is A Game, These Are The Rules," is a wonderful exception. Every man interested in learning how to find and maintain a long-lasting relationship should read this book. More importantly, it should be read, reread and discussed by both partners, as often as questions or issues arise in the relationship. Cherie Carter Scott doesn't mince words; examples are short and to the point; each chapter covers a major rule so it is easy to follow and return to for a refresher. Too many of us, men and women, have been too ignorant, too disinterested, too willing to enter relationships based upon the wrong assumptions and expectations. This book lights the path towards establishing relationships that can grow and withstand the changes time will inevitably bring. Good luck...

Great Choice for Teaching Kids Values!!.......2007-05-29
I love this book, it is easy to follow and has fun entertaining was to teach kids values.
For parents, not educators.......2007-04-25
I was hoping this book would be a useful resource for developing supplemental activities for an elementary-level (K-5) curriculum on non-violence and conflict resolution. But it is really geared toward parents (as the title indicates), not educators. The activities and required materials are suitable for an interpersonal setting, not really for the average classroom or after school programs. I found that 104 Activities That Build: Self-Esteem, Teamwork, Communication, Anger Management, Self-Discovery, Coping Skills by Alanna Jones, was more useful for my needs/goals.
It was great.......2006-11-16
It was very helpful and the activities were really only 10 minues long, at max.
Good Topic Selection.......2006-11-10
There are quite a few important topics to choose from. Seems to start good conversation with the children. (Ages 9-13)
Ten minutes that could affect a lifetime!.......2006-03-29
This is an interesting and useful book. It provides a wide range of activities to use with children to help them learn about themselves and understanding others. Many of the activities offer ways to accommodate for older or younger audiences, and some are specific to ages. The range of topics addressed is rather inclusive, and the activities are designed to appeal to all types of learners (visual, auditory, kinesthetic). The activities offer a creative approach to each topic, and are nice springboards for deeper discussions. I am certain this book will be utilized both in my home and in my classroom!

Book Description
Love, sexuality, and mate selection are fundamental human experiences. Inherently linked, they are best understood in relation to one another. Yet most of the current texts on love and marriage are written from a purely psychological perspective, while those on human sexuality tend to be written from a biological or physiological perspective.
The Mating Game: A Primer on Love, Sex, and Marriage combines theory and research from a wide array of disciplines to explore these three major aspects of human mating dynamics. This engaging, interdisciplinary primer is divided into four parts that encompass a wide range of theoretical and empirical work: Part One considers the topic of love, Part Two examines relational sexuality, Part Three focuses on mate selection and marriage, and Part Four summarizes individual differences in relationship orientation.
Key Features
- Explanations of theory and research from a variety of social and behavioral sciences that highlight the links between these interrelated topics
- Extensive measurement instruments and an understanding of how to interpret research
- Provocative examples and anecdotes to capture the attention of students
- Chapter outlines, lists of key terms and concepts, section introductions, chapter summaries, recommended readings, and discussion questions
Strongly grounded in methodology and research design,
The Mating Game provides a comprehensive review of the nature of love, the role of sex in relationships, and theories of human attraction. Pamela C. Regan presents inclusive information collected from both cross cultural and multicultural samples.
Designed to promote active learning and spark debate for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in courses on Interpersonal or Close Relationships, Marriage and Family, and Human Sexuality,
The Mating Game is also an indispensable resource for psychologists, therapists, and health professionals.

Creative and Possibly Illegal.......2007-08-21
This book has some fun, interactive ideas for couples to get to know each other more intimately (i.e. quizzes and discussion starters). However, some of the highly exhibitionist ideas in the book are likely to land a participating reader in jail, if caught (i.e. "When you find yourself at a restaurant table with a long tablecloth, use your feet to bring your lover to orgasm. Don't stop when the waiter's there"). Maybe I'm too conservative...I just know that I won't be recommending this book to anyone.
Disappointed.......2007-03-14
not what i was expecting at all - i should have returned it - not the seller's fault of course - just not what i thought it was !
Not as informative as I thought.......2007-02-17

Beautifully written, fantastic pictures and very helpful.
It certainly tickled my funny bone.
Thankyou Debeer. My wife has never been happier.

Good Reference Book.......2007-05-10
When our family decided to go camping this year, I felt a little bit overwhelmed with the idea that my 5 year old son would not have anything to do. I went on line and bought several books about camping with children and found that this was my most helpful It not only covers the basics like making a fire and food preparation but also the fun side of camping like the games and sing alongs. It gave me a refresher course on camping and at the same time opened up the door to have some camping fun! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has children. I can't wait until we go on our trip next month. This book has given me so many ideas that I know my son will not be bored.
A lot of information.......2006-08-30
This book gave a lot of information and ideas. We liked using it!
Sweet As.......2004-07-23
I recieved this book in the mail... Then used it two hours later that is how useful it was for me... If I could give it 10 stars I would. It is written in a way that is easy to understand so that if you wanted to give it to a child you could, yet it is comprehensive enough for an adult... I would rate this as a good use of my money...
WOW!.......2003-02-22
I just bought this recently, and it is much better than I even expected. I have a bunch of camping books in my library, and this one is better than many more expensive adult books. It has great advice even for adults, but is indespensible for camping with kids. It teaches you how to build a fire safely, cooking on the fire, (great kid favorites recipes), dealing with bugs, how to pick a camp site, what kind of Lots of safety tips too. The fun drawings make this a pleasure as well.
The authors show you how to make a reflector oven. The main feature if this book is the fun activities for around the fire such as stories songs, games, etc. Teaches kids how to identify the stars easily and even identify features on the face of the moon. I plan to use this with our Cub Scouts.
Great for Novice and Experienced Campers Alike.......2002-12-05
This book flows like the campfire. From gathering the supplies, to lighting the fire, to the blaze, to the dieing fire, to the embers it's an enjoyable experience.
It has lots of activities: stories, songs, skits, etc. to make your campfire an enjoyable experience.
I wish I had owned this book when I taught a Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation for teaching Cub Scout Adults about making a successful overnight campout.
This book has been added to my library and will be suggested at all future BALOO trainings.

This book should be titled "Questions For the Game of Sex".......2004-11-04
I was shocked by most of the questions.
For example:
If you had to watch your lover or spouse have sex with someone else, but could determine who it would be, who would you choose?
If you could have sex with one pagan god, which would it be?
I don't consider myself a prude by any means but I feel this book is immoral and dangerous to anyone in a monogamous relationship.
I returned it!
Don't Start A Relationship Without It!.......2004-06-24
The third in the "If" series of question books, this little ditty is all about love and relationship ethics. Would you? Could you? Will you? A perfect gift for anyone just starting out in one of those questionable relationships! Imagine the insight into a persons values in a few innocent yet thought provoking questions. Another benefit to this book is that it is a perfect way to break the ice about all those pet-peeves you might have in the bedroom, just answer the question and hope someone is listening! Hours of fun that might save you years of heartache.
Definitely not a book of love.......2003-07-15
I was intrigued by the title of the book, and a little curious after reading the disclaimer "We would like to add that some of the following
questions are rather direct, and personal, and not everyone will choose to
ponder them, but in no case do we intend offense.". I read it cover to cover, and the biggest thing I would tell anyone thinking of buying it on the basis of the title to think twice. The question "If you had to include one animal in your next lovemaking, what kind would it
be?". You can find that one on page 115. This book is definitely about sex, with a few questions relating to love. If you want something that will start conversation, this is it. You may not, however, be happy with the results. Definitely for those entertaining alternative lifestyles, but not for anyone else.

If you're going to take a road trip with a mate, or even some close friends, this is a great book to bring along!
Book Description
Any woman can be a sexy bitch — tiny or tall, fat or thin, dazzlingly beautiful or ordinary. And she doesn't need to strut atop 5-inch spiked heels to entrance men with her sexuality. A Sexy Bitch isn't born, she makes herself with one thing: her attitude.
Teaching techniques that really work — from seductive flirting, clever kissing, and frolicking foreplay to hot sex positions, talking dirty, and playing dress-up — So You Wanna Be a Sexy Bitch is a road map to raising a woman's self image in the area of life where it matters most: sex. As her sexual confidence grows, she will project her newfound sexy bitch attitude to the world, where men will predictably respond with uncontrollable desire.
