"When it comes to pleasuring women and conversing in the language of love, cunnilingus should be every man's native tongue," writes clinical sexologist Ian Kerner, Ph.D. in She Comes First, a straightforward, intimate, and exuberant guide to cunnilingus. Kerner first explored "the oral caress" as a way of compensating for his "sexual inadequacies," and quickly learned that women not only welcomed but often preferred "the way of the tongue," reaching orgasm more consistently than through intercourse. Kerner educates readers about the clitoris, "the powerhouse of pleasure," with 18 parts and 8,000 nerve endings (twice as many as the penis) and describes female sexual response from "foreplay" through "coreplay" to "moreplay." A large part of the book is a graphic, detailed primer on "mouth music," including best positions, step-by-step techniques (illustrated), and tips for tongue and fingers. How long should this last? Until the woman has an orgasm or many, says Kerner, and "melts blissfully before your eyes." "The vast majority of women complain about guys who don't like to do it, don't know how to do it, or simply don't do it nearly enough," writes Kerner. This book will change that. Women: Buy it for your partner! --Joan Price

Book Description

As women everywhere will attest, when it comes to understanding female sexuality, most guys know more about what's under the hood of a car than under the hood of a clitoris. And while it seems that men have struggled valiantly since the dawn of time to find ways to reliably elicit the female orgasm, rare is the guy who has the modesty to ask: "What do I do?" Ironically, the answer has always been right there on the tip of his tongue.

Welcome to the world of She Comes First, where the mystery of female satisfaction is solved and the tongue is proven mightier than the sword. According to Ian Kerner, clinical sexologist and evangelist of the female orgasm, oral sex has long been deemed an optional aspect of foreplay, but, in fact, it's coreplay -- simply the best way for leading a woman through the entire process of sexual response.

Fun, informative, and easy to read, She Comes First is a virtual encyclopedia of female pleasure, detailing dozens of tried-and-true techniques for consistently satisfying a woman and illustrated step-by-step instructions to ensure success. These simple methods represent a new era in sexual intimacy, one in which the exchange of pleasure occurs on a level playing field and fulfillment is mutual.

She Comes First exuberantly offers a fresh new sexual philosophy that inspires every man to make a mantra of Rhett Butler's infamous line to Scarlett O'Hara, "You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how."

3 out of 5 stars Good guide to oral sex.......2007-10-19

The author does a great job of explaining the importance of placing a woman's pleasure before ones own. He also gives great advice on oral and manual stimulation. However, he completely dismisses the g-spot as well as female ejaculation, which is unfortunate in that it reduces his credibility as an expert on female sexuality. Lisa Douglass' book does a much better job of addressing that aspect of female sexuality.

4 out of 5 stars how can a title like that not sell?.......2007-10-02

A bit over-rated, this work is extremely thorough in mastering her oral pleasuring. I wouldn't, however, say that it presents anything that hasn't been discussed in other literature. The book has simply been packaged and promoted well. Fun for experimentation, but not as witty as some press outlets have led us to believe.

5 out of 5 stars Men, do your woman a favor and read this!.......2007-09-06

I didn't read the book, but my husband did. He read it in one sitting, actually. Based on the "results," I give it 5 stars and wish I could give it more! Wow! I plan on reading it myself tonight.

5 out of 5 stars Coming in second isn't so bad........2007-09-03

I really enjoyed this guide to sex for men. The premise is to basically allow/help your partner to orgasm first, that way you come in second, though this isn't a bad thing, far from it. The author really gives good advice, in detail without being too elusive or standoffish. A highly recommended read, along with Sex Machine: A Man's Guide to What Really Pleases a Woman in Bed.

This book is very relevant and current for teens. It is direct and accurate according to the Bible It is sometimes over the top and needs to take into account the reality of living in the real world, but I like that it puts the high standard out there.

Book Description

Raise Him Right

Women are complicated. Men spend years in marriage trying to figure out how to love and understand their wives, only to wind up frustrated and ready to give up. Who better to help a man begin to understand a woman than his mother? While you hope and pray for your son’s future marriage, the time for your powerful influence is now! Don’t wait for the world to change its morality; let Preparing Him for the Other Woman show you how to shape your son’s character and teach him how to interpret the heart of a woman. Find ways to make your home a place of refuge, growth, and peace as you guide him toward becoming the kind of man who looks to God for guidance in loving his wife well.

What Kind of Husband

Will Your Son Grow Up to Be?



His is a generation of boys who have better relationships with their Game Boxes, i-Pods, televisions, and computers than they do with their families. His understanding of marriage is that it has little hope for success, witnessing a fifty percent divorce rate both inside and outside of the church. His world is one where pornography is no longer a hidden shame, but encouraged as entertainment.

Can you raise your son to one day love, lead, and protect
a wife and family in a world like this?


The answer is yes. The heartbeat of this book is to give you the tools to help your son become a tender warrior who will one day fight for his family, a godly husband who will faithfully love his wife, and a leader who will be a man of his word.

The time is now to take your love, tears, prayers, and influence and pour them into his future. Even if our world does not change its moral fiber, you can influence your son and bring hope to the next generation. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime—yours.

“Not only is this an amazing concept, but it meets an urgent need for every mother of boys.”

Lisa Bevere

Speaker and author of Fight Like a Girl and Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry



“I have three sons, two stepsons, two son-in-laws, and nine grandsons! Any help I can glean to give me more wisdom is welcome. I would have welcomed more help like this when I was a young mother raising my young men for ‘the other woman.’”

LeeAnn Rawlins

Coauthor, To Love Again

Story Behind the Book

When the manager of a large Christian bookstore told Sheri Rose Shepherd that readers of the popular His Princess TM series were futilely looking for material about raising their sons to be godly future husbands, she knew she could help. “Think about how much farther all men would be in their marriages if their moms had trained them how to one day love and understand their wives,” says Sheri Rose . “We can take all the mistakes we’ve made in our lives and use them to teach our sons the right way to live. And we can use our most powerful weapon of all—our prayers—to fight for them.”

5 out of 5 stars A Mother's Guide.......2007-09-09

I teach parenting classes for a Pregnancy center located in the lowerclass section of a large city. Many of our mom's are single and trying to raise their family without a lot of support from the fathers.They also din't have good role models in their own families while growing up.
I used this book as the topic for our Mother's Day luncheon. It gave them encouragement that they COULD make a difference! I also included the book, The Power of a Praying Parent..because they need God's help and guidance in raising their children.
Our mom's LOVED the class!

5 out of 5 stars Letting him "go" is easier than you think...she'll show you how.......2007-06-12

This is, by far, my very favorite book on this subject matter that I have ever read. It has compelled me to write a review on it; I sent the link to my sister and friends and they all RAVED about it. More than anything, it has helped me to begin treating my "tiny husband" (as I used to think of him as) as a young man with a godly purpose to his life and doing it step-by-step this early on (he's 6)...which will help me to "let go" when God brings his wife to him someday. It will also allow him to "leave and cleave" to his wife in a healthy manner.

It has also helped me to begin truly loving his future wife and anticipating her arrival one day; I now pray more fervently for her.

My husband related to it so well, too. When I read to him that her husband's mother had been praying for her since she was a little girl, he actually choked up, as his mother died when he was a little boy. He's known that my mother always prayed for him - and I read that passage to him on his mother's birthday to let him know that he was never alone. We both now are treating our son in a manner to which he feels inspired to be a godly man, husband and father.

Simple, practical, loving, and Christ-following. This is my guide to loving my son and helping him to be the man that God calls him to be. Thank you, Shari Rose!

5 out of 5 stars Sons are Awesome!!!.......2007-05-09

I am the mother of 4 sons. I wish I had read this book years ago when I was a young mother.
I am also a teacher of young kids and through the years I have seen a decline in respect among children.
This book had some really awesome ideas for how to totally bond with a son, beginning at a very young age.
It teaches how to show young boys how to respect women!!!!!!!

I am lucky that I had my 4th son later in life, so I did do things right with him. And what the book says is true...if you show boys how to behave, they will. My son is now almost 16 and to this day loves to spend time with me, even in front of his peers. He craves personal time and touch with his momma. I know he is going to grow into an awesome husband who will respect and love women.

So if you are a mother of boys, definately get this book. It would also make a wonderful baby gift to a new mom!!

Laurie :-)

5 out of 5 stars Boost I needed.......2007-01-29

I loved this book! This type of book was one that I had been looking for for a long time. I have a 14 year old son and also work for an organization that works with single moms. I am also ordering this book for my staff who have sons. I was feeling helpless since reading other books that put so much stress on dads being a part of their son's lives and leaving out what moms can do. I agree with dads being the important element in their son's lives 100 percent, but what about the son who doesn't have a father figure or whose father is not active in the son's life? This book gives helpful and easy information for any mom to understand and apply. I highlighted many things in my book so I have a quick reference when I slip up and stop encouraging my son like I want to be. It might be common sense to some moms but to some of the moms I know, this book will be great! It's an easy read, even for someone who doesn't care to read much.

Rose Sweet's book is one of the most helpful things I read after my own divorce became final. Since then I've become a family counselor specializing in divorce, so now I read many books on this topic. I continue to pick up Rose's book to read favorite passages again: she writes with a clear understanding of how divorce feels, and what to do about it. This excellent book will not disappoint you!

3 out of 5 stars Easy Read and Not Deep Substance.......2006-11-05

Pretty general - easy to read. Not a lot of substance to help you discover what really went wrong. My suggestion is another book called "Rebuilding: When Your Relationship Ends" by Dr. Bruce Fisher and Dr. Robert Alberti. That book will help you address the tough issues that will help you move on with life in a healthy way.

5 out of 5 stars Very Helpful.......2005-01-14

This book helped me so much. It is a comfort and a challenge. It explains all the things you go through with a divorce, even things you would not think of. It goes into things we hide from our own selves or just don't realize. One thing that is very touching and personal about this book is that at the begining of every chapter there is a love letter to you from God (based on scripture, of course) and at the end of every chapter is a comparison of what our fear tells us and what our faith tells us. This book truly can change your life if you are in the valley after a divorce (which most of us are). And the chapters are not long, so you can take it in little bits at a time, one issue at a time. This book is good even if you have been divorced for a long time. It shows you how to deal - in a Godly way and expresses God's love and forgiveness. I would recommend this book to anyone who is going through a divorce or has ever been through one.

5 out of 5 stars Help for the Hurting and more!.......2001-09-01

Rose Sweet offers a smorsgasbord of insight to the issues that the recently divorced face. The topics of grief, rejection, anger, bitterness, depression, guilt, fear, and loneliness are explored through real-life examples and are also spiritually examined. Through a very engaging style of writing, Rose shares her journey and inspires you to journey with her to wholeness. I have already purchased several for gifts for friends who need this educational, inspirational, and motivational book. Kudos to Rose for being transparent and serving as a mentor for those who want to follow her footsteps toward healing the heartbreak of divorce!

5 out of 5 stars Overcoming The "Heartbreak" My Review On Rose's Book.......2001-07-17

I have just finished reading "Healing the Heartbreak Of Divorce" by Rose Sweet. Being a divorcee myself, for 15 years now, I laughed, I cried, I sighed, and I was brought to awe by this wonderful, genius in writing of a book. Finally a book on divorce that is a must read instead of these ridiculous readings, "Divorce for Dumbells." I was brought back to a place in time that brought back all the memories of devastation, and heartache only to learn by reading this book, HOW FAR I HAVE COME! That is the gift that Rose Sweet gave to me in writing. Another gift given to me by reading this book, was a gift of spiritualism. Which I had lost and have now found. Chapter 14, "Understanding Why?' struck a nerve in me like no other nerve was ever stuck before in my life. Dealing with my own issues lately, before reading this book with my own "Why's" with God? This chapter hit me over the head! The giraffe story and the deserted island story, made it all so clear to me now, all of MY OWN "Why's" have now come to surface with peace of mind. I can now tell you all how soundly I slept after turning the last page of this incredible, INCREDIBLE, piece of work. Bravo to you Rose! Bravo to Us!

5 out of 5 stars Theatre Teachers: This Is What You Need.......2006-11-10

This book is formatted so easily, it took me MUCH less time than I thought it would to prepare a unit on reader's theatre for my class. I used it for my high school theatre class so they wouldn't have to concentrate on large vocabularies, but rather to deliver the story in a simple, easy way. It was a HUGE success of a project and this book made it possible. It tells you how long each story is, what cast you'll need, and what reading level it is!! Yay!!!
The stories themselves are entertaining (even for high school!!!), compelling, and really fun to work with. I am SO grateful I ordered this!

5 out of 5 stars A Great Resource.......2006-01-11

Aaron Shepard is a generous contributor to the field of Reader's Theatre. This book is no exception. It's well-laid out and chock-full of interesting scripts. I've recommended to several folks interested in RT.

4 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2006-03-11

I read this book the day I got it in the mail. I had researched information on the Internet, but this book was more complete and it was nice to have it all in one place. The book has great information and I think every woman considering augmentation should read it. I would've given it 5 stars, but it was missing information about having mastopexy with augmentation. I wish it would've provided information on choosing the right implant with a mastopexy and discussed the incisions, recovery period, etc. I've read the other reviews and Dr. Tebbetts does seem to prefer anatomical implants. He also prefers the cohesive silicone gel implant which is available in clinical study in the US (used in Europe for over 10 years), but there is limited information on it in the book since it was written in 1999. Regarding the overfill warranty issue that some of the other reviews mentioned, I've read in other places that Mentor has a recommended range of fill. The minimum fill for a 300cc saline implant would be 300cc and the maximum would be 325cc. Both overfill and underfill void the warranty. Overfill would be above 325cc and underfill would be below 300cc. I'm not sure if Inamed/McGhan has a similar range or not. I'm also not sure if the minimum fill would leave room for a fold. Maybe the information in the book is outdated. I'm not a PS and this is a question I'll ask at all my consultations. (Dr. T includes this on his list of questions to ask your PS.) I'm scheduling consultations with surgeons and hoping to have surgery in the next few months.

5 out of 5 stars Good choice-Book and Doctor.......2005-07-17

I read this extremely comprehensive book, and I went to Dr. Tebbetts for my BA consultation. Dr. Tebbetts, his wife and the entire staff, treated me like I was their most important patient, and at the time, I was only 21 years old. After reading his book, I realized I had to have a reduction/reconstruction on one side, due to a congenital deformity. Dr. Tebbetts performed the surgery in less than an hour, and I had absolutely no complications. I have to say the surgery didn't hurt a bit, and every time I go in for my annual woman's examination, doctors and nurses comment on my wonderful results (as far as the shape and minimal scarring). In fact, they always ask me who performed my surgery, and I tell them about Dr. Tebbetts and his book. I moved away and became too busy with my career to get the second surgery (actual BA). Now, seven years later, I'm ready to finish enhancing my bust line. I wouldn't dream of going to anyone other than Dr. Tebbetts.

5 out of 5 stars Detailed necessary info!.......2005-06-10

I have read many books and done extensive research on implantation of saline and silicone for 30 yrs and advise many women. This book is INVALUABLE in its tips, diagrams and plain facts, especially about getting LARGE implants, implant overfill, pocket placement and the wearing of those nasty "breast bands" post op when the implant is inserted too high (something at least 1/2 seem to do!)

Read the book! Many of the Hollywood stars would benefit from reading it before they have a implants and would hopefully save them from that very fake look with breasts spaced so far apart they look like bolted on rocks.

Many women who have researched extensively still probably don't know the tips in this book. Then head to any PS armed with good info.

2 out of 5 stars NOT THE BEST.......2004-09-16

This book has a clear bias towards anatomical implants. Further, the font and formatting has bold and centered text throughout the book, which makes for difficult reading. Most of the information you can get for free from the web.

Furthermore, don't expect to actually get surgery done by Dr. Tebbetts without suffering through his very rude wife, Terrye. She was, by far, the most condescending person I have spoken regarding surgery. Her response to questions was "Can't you read. Everything you need to know is in the book."

Both the book and the office proved to be disappointing.

2 out of 5 stars Not the "best" book in my opinion!.......2004-04-02

I don't know about anyone else, but I got tired of feeling like they are speaking to me as if I'm a dumb blond. Page after page of exclamation points and bold, 30 pitch fonts drove me nuts!

I received this book free because I had set up a consultation with their office (phone consult). I spoke with Terrye- who is not even a plastic surgeon , rather the wife of the plastic surgeon- who was very rude and snide.

I think there are probably better books out there on the subject that will speak to you on an INTELLIGENT level and not assume that because you desire implants that you are some uneducated person who can't read and comprehend some medical terminology.

Book Description

You have just received an abnormal Pap smear diagnosis, joining the ranks of the close to 4 million women annually who receive one. What does it mean? Do you have cancer? What happens next?

For most women, the follow-up for an abnormal Pap smear involves long periods of anxious waiting as well as unfamiliar procedures and examinations. Few women understand the significance of their abnormal results or know that abnormalities on a Pap smear are linked to infections by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Even fewer are aware that this virus is pervasive, with the majority of American women being infected at some time in their lives.

Written by two physicians in clear and concise language, this comforting book covers the various Pap smear diagnoses, ranging from "atypical" to cervical cancer. The association of cervical disease with HPV is emphasized and the various treatments for Pap smear abnormalities are explained in-depth. New technologies that promise better testing are critically examined. Also discussed are "lifestyle" changes that may lead to minimizing a woman's risk of developing cervical disease. Vital to the book are personal interviews with women who share their experiences and feelings about cervical disease as well as how it was detected and treated. A list of important questions to ask your physician and helpful sources for additional information round out the book.

This well-illustrated, uncomplicated, and sympathetic handbook is indispensable, and may even be lifesaving, for all women who are seeking to understand their abnormal Pap smear results.

5 out of 5 stars Lifestyle changes to reduce the risks of cancer.......2002-02-08

Pap smears detect cervical cancer but there's a major difference between different types of abnormal pap smears, from full-blown cancers to results which are atypical yet benign. Abnormal Pap Smears not only helps consumers understand the differences; it also suggests lifestyle changes to reduce the risks of precancers and cancers.

5 out of 5 stars Packed with information we and our daughters need to know........2001-10-24

I never fully understood the mystery of pap smears, and I was never really sure that I could trust the results (happily, always negative). This book fleshed out my understanding of paps, and answered the many questions I have had about them but never could quite articulate to my doctor. Further, little did I realize the significant link between sexually transmitted viruses and diseases and their potential, long-term effects until I read this book. I am much better informed now.

This book is for every woman.

5 out of 5 stars The Book's Suggestions Work....For Real!.......2007-07-04

When I put the advice in play, I heard, saw and felt the difference from my lady. I heard more sounds of pleasure from her. She literally begged me not to stop. [I never had a woman cuss at me during our lovemaking before! Quoting her: "Don't stop, damn it!" It shocked me and at the same time it was a turn on. That's an experience that is burned into my memory for the rest of my life.] She had more orgasms than before to the point where one could say that she almost turned the mattress into a waterbed. After we were spent, she made comments about how passionate we were, how many climaxes she attained and how it made her feel afterward. The book's suggestions gave both of us a good workout!

5 out of 5 stars A must read for every woman.......2007-05-03

Came within a week. Very educational and interesting. I recommend this to anyone interested in pleasing a woman the right way!

5 out of 5 stars Good News for Lovers Who've Lost the Magic.......2006-11-08

For decades I have recommended the "How to Satisfy a Woman" book to men and women whose marriages are floundering and as a result it has made me a hero. The book saved many families. If mates were not close, they got closer. If they were considering divorce, they made a quick "U" turn and fell in love with one another again... joyfully!

The 'war between the sexes has been artificially created. It need not be. It came about as a result of men (and women) who have been physically altered as children with knives on the most sensitive parts of their bodies. Who can function well when he or she has lost a good deal of their erotic tissue? For more information on this important subject, see my book, "The Rape of Innocence : Female Genital Mutilation in the USA". It discusses both male and female surgical alteration in the USA.

I call the effect Hayden's book has, powerful. Yes, there's a goofy, 'apologetic' girl talk tone in it, but sex is not an easy subject to talk about -- it's scary for women to talk to men about their sexuality and i congratulate her for sharing her wisdom despite her obvious embarrassment.

In this age, when the majority of the men in our country have been circumcised and have lost the soft mucosal tissue, the prepuce, that allows them to naturally be in synch with a woman, it's invaluable to read this little book. It helps us all learn a different way of moving than the mechanical 'in and out' that chafes and apparently doesn't work for a lot of American women.

I talk with men daily who express grief due to having been sexually altered and the difficulties they have maintaining happy sexual relationships with women. So another book i recommend is "The Joy of Uncircumcising" by Jim Bigelow. The good news is, men can regain what they lost.

And the other good bit of news is that they can learn "How to Satisfy a Woman" even now. They can use what they have as if they have it all, even before they grow their skin back.

There's a reason why Europeans have a reputation for being great lovers -- they simply were not altered with knives -- they have, luckily for then, retained all their vital moving parts.

3 out of 5 stars An interesting read........2007-05-07

Although the book was well written and somewhat entertaining, it wasn't what I was expecting. Rather than being a manual filled with "techniques" it is more about the psychology of why men pay to see escorts. If you are interested in that, then this book is a very good one. If you are looking for detailed "how-too's" its not.

1 out of 5 stars Sexy Title for Conventional Sexual Advice.......2006-07-17

I did not see the kind of detail I would expect from an escort with 18 years experience. You would expect that she could fill the book with remarkable anecdotes. Instead she will give examples of her husband's behavior! She talks about men who are ignorant and need advice about how to please a woman in bed. Her clients are all in love with their wives! It is quite a dull book of very banal sexual advice from a conventional woman's perspective. I am concerned if women should try to understand men using the author's "experience". Men will simply be bored.

5 out of 5 stars This is a woman's book!.......2006-07-13

Those of you who want to crucify Monet for being an escort - hold your stones. Open your awareness of sex as a sacred act. Monet answers the calling that sex and spirit are one. Ladies, lets face it. Sex is her bread and butter. We can depend on her functional knowledge and expertise. Her simple presentation is not technique driven. It is the art and grace of sex as a component of a spiritual journey told in practical format. The tips she gives are logical and simple. They empower you because behind them resonates an eternal hum reminding you of the woman you've always been. Her narrative journey highlights ancient sexual knowledge that emerged and blossomed from within Monet herself. Yes, this book gives you the skills to treat your man like a God. Better yet, it reawakens the Goddess and directs the music of your heart to yourself.

5 out of 5 stars Only if women knew.......2006-02-02

Having read this wonderful book from Veronica Monet's Sex Secrets of Escorts, if women would learn from her, there would be no need for escorts. And, I would be saving lots of money. Veronica fulfilled most of my personal needs from a woman, if I can find her.

2 out of 5 stars the cover is the best part?.......2006-02-01

Kind of a snoozer, despite at times reading like a pep rally. Wait till the price goes down.

    Book Description

    "From meetings and conversation with men, love affairs arise. In the midst of pleasures, banquets, dances, laughter, and self-indulgence, Venus and her son Cupid reign supreme. . . . Poor young girl, if you emerge from these encounters a captive prey! How much better it would have been to remain at home or to have broken a leg of the body rather than of the mind!" So wrote the sixteenth-century Spanish humanist Juan Luis Vives in a famous work dedicated to Henry VIII's daughter, Princess Mary, but intended for a wider audience interested in the education of women.

    Praised by Erasmus and Thomas More, Vives advocated education for all women, regardless of social class and ability. From childhood through adolescence to marriage and widowhood, this manual offers practical advice as well as philosophical meditation and was recognized soon after publication in 1524 as the most authoritative pronouncement on the universal education of women. Arguing that women were intellectually equal if not superior to men, Vives stressed intellectual companionship in marriage over procreation, and moved beyond the private sphere to show how women's progress was essential for the good of society and state.
