Another Useful Self-Help Book 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Since I've started reading the books from the Pick Up Community, I've seen a pattern in the basic ways to approach women: it's basically putting out all the good qualities associated with being a man.

Be confident. Attentive, charming, humorous. Dress better, work on conversational skills. Maintain respect but also hold the course for seduction.

All of this sounds simple enough but...I think I belong to a generation of broken homes where the battling, bewildered single parents didn't pass on ANYTHING useful to their children. Let popular music and TV guide you into the Tunnel of Love.

And what a disaster that's been. (It also didn't help that social engineering tried to instill that boys and girls are essentially the same. How damaging has that been?).

So these books, while initially provoking women to be offended that men will be taking advantage of them, end up being the education us guys never got.

THE LAYGUIDE has a title that would suggest this book is about only seducing and taking advantage of women. I didn't really get that. (If you're looking for a book that not only writes in terms of women as only sexual objects but where to go and how much to spend on endless sex objects, that would be THE PROFESSIONAL BACHELOR. Especially the second half).

THE LAYGUIDE is a smooth, well-written How To book on approaching women and moving into a relationship, whether for one night or the rest of your life.

So greatful for this book 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I just finished this book and what a Godsend. I found out my husband was having an emotional affair on March 31st of this year. An old high school girlfriend Googled him and they'd been talking for six months. He saw her in Feb. when he went to visit his brother for an ice fishing trip and they were planning on meeting in April for "more". About a month after he started talking to her I noticed he was distant, but thought it was because we'd just celebrated our 20th anniversary and things were getting old. Little did I know "she" entered the picture. On Jan. 1st I suspected he had a gf, but he called me crazy and paranoid. After reading this book so many things made sense and I was able to make sense of the mess my marriage had become.

He claimed he never intended for things to get out of hand and they were "just friends"at first. He told her we were having problems and he put up a wall between us and opened the window for her (this is in the book). My H has always had such strong morals and good character. He badmouthed everyone we have ever known to cheat, but here he turned around and did the very same thing. Of all people I TRULY never thought he would do this.

The only problem I had with the book is that the affair partner is talked about as being a single woman. In my case the other woman is married and has kids the same age as mine. She didn't plan on leaving her husband until her youngest was in college (in 5 years). She was ok with my husband meeting her 3 or 4 times per year until then. This woman is also a churchgoer, provides daycare in her home, prepares peoples taxes, lives in small town MN, was a soccer-mom, etc. I'm guessing she was bored and needed some excitement. Too bad she didn't realize that my husband made things sound so wonderful on the phone and online. Maybe if they lived with each other they would have realized that life is much more than what we can make the other believe.

My husband and I are trying to get our marriage back on track, but it's so hard because he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. From reading the book I understand this is natural for the betraying partner, but I need to talk and figure this stuff out. I asked my husband this week to read two of the last few chapters hoping he will understand my point. How am I to have compassion for him, as discussed in the book, if he doesn't have much for me?

Editorial Review:

You're right to be cautious when you hear these words:

"I'm telling you, we're just friends."

Good people in good marriages are having affairs. The workplace and the Internet have become fertile breeding grounds for "friendships" that can slowly and insidiously turn into love affairs. Yet you can protect your relationship from emotional or sexual betrayal by recognizing the red flags that mark the stages of slipping into an improper, dangerous intimacy that can threaten your marriage.

Great Resource! Very clinical 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The many reviews I read before purchasing this book are correct: This is a very clinical and sometimes dry book. It's also a fantastic resource. But honestly, if you are interested in learning the basics, you shouldn't have a hard time getting through it.

I really enjoyed this book and the emphasis on the clinical explanations of how things work. Ed Wheat is a doctor and that comes out in his technical explanations, which are especially helpful if you are having some problems in your sex life.

I would have given it 5-stars (it really is a great book) except I purchased another book as well, Getting your Sex Life Off to a Great start, and I found the other book a bit better in its explanation of the first sexual experience as well as its advice for the honeymoon.

If you are preparing for your first experience I recommend buying both books. Each book offers something that the other lacks. If you can only purchase one, I recommend the other, but both are really great resources. We are also reading through Love Life for Every Married Couple and it is important to work on all aspects of your relationship - not just the sexual aspect.

Editorial Review:

For over 20 years, this best-seller has helped couples build fulfilling marriages with medically accurate information and biblical wisdom on sex and relationships.

Great starting point 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is a great guide to trying to date while living a christian life.
I would recommend it to any single person trying to navigate the dating life while maintaining integrity.

An excellent primer, good advice for starting 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is an excellent starting point for dating for anyone! Loads of good advice that everyone needs to know but that we don't somehow bring to the conscious mind at the time when it really matters. I think, though, to understand what creates our behaviour in relationships in the first place, you would be well-advised to also read Fit for Love: Find Your Self and Your Perfect Mate. This helps you deal with the subconscious programming that sabotages your efforts in relationships and that compromises your boundaries.

For those dating or not, great book to learn from... 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book definitely keeps things in perspective. As a twentysomething, we get caught up in emotions and the physical not really seeing the whole picture. Boundaries in Dating is a great tool and reference when determining if the potential mate is someone to move forward with or run far from! A "Must Read" for you and/or great info to share with others.

Editorial Review:

Boundaries in Dating provides a way to think, solve problems, and enjoy the benefits of dating in the fullest way, including increasing the ability to find and commit to a marriage partner.

LOVELY BOOK, LOTS OF GREAT INFORMATION 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The authors of this book are apparently experts, and it really shows. The pictures are very helpful, but not overwhelming. The straightforward way the book is written brings the Kama Sutra to the masses. Well written and entertaining. In addition, to this helpful tome, I would also recommend Five Minutes to Orgasm Every Time You Make Love: Female Orgasm Made Simple, which specifically addresses oral sex between couples. One side of the flip over book is all about cunnilingus; then, flip it over and the other side is all about fellatio. These two books would make a great duo.

Editorial Review:

After centuries, it’s still the best climax to a long hard day—and it’s full-color and fully- illustrated …

With its ageless wisdom and explicit advice for getting maximum orgasmic pleasure, the Kama Sutra is still considered the definitive sex manual on the market. But among its countless translations and pictorial editions, no volume has gone so deeply into its secrets as this one does—thanks to a very satisfied husband and wife team of sex experts.
--Completely full color, this book includes more than 70 photographs by Eric Levin, whose work has appeared in Rolling Stone, among other publications
--Authors are counselors and certified sex experts
--Explicit instructions and advice, with beautiful photographs
--Hot, valuable tips not found in other books on the Kama Sutra

hated this book 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

i hated this book. blames everything on a screwed up childhood & tells you to get counseling.
the author doesnt offer any other explanation as to why you love people who dont love you back.
dont pay full price for this book if you want to read it.

Don't throw out the baby w/ the bath water... 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Yes, if you think you are a love addict/avoidant, get this book. If you find yourself back in the same love cycle and never able to move beyond your relationship problems/hang-ups, etc., this book might be for you. If you can't decide if you love or hate your partner/spouse; if you're afraid you might be unfaithful if things don't change in your relationship soon...this is definitely for you! Buy it, check it out from a library...Devour it. I, myself, haven't quite finished it, but I have found it extremely helpful. I thought my marriage was over, but this book is helping us rebuild it stronger and healthier than ever before. I do encourage additional support as you go through this, however. It's intense and a good therapist/counselor can help you and your partner/spouse navigate through the difficult topics. Hope this helps you in your journey...

Editorial Review:

The author of the bestselling Facing Codependence unravels the intricate dynamics of toxic love relationships and shows us how to let go of toxic love. In this revised and updated edition of Facing Love Addiction, internationally recognised dependence and addiction authority Pia Mellody clearly outlines the debilitating 'toxic' patterns played out by love addicts and the unresponsive love avoidants to whom they are painfully and repeatedly drawn.

Excellent Book - Very Hot 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

There are a lot of books on sex positions out there, but this one really captured our attention. My wife and I found ourselves pouring over the book, passing it back and forth in a crowded Borders cafe pointing out to each other our favorite pages. The photography is excellent and very hot...and we found plenty of things we will be trying.

Editorial Review:

Nothing spices up a couple's sex life faster and easier than a new position, and opening the pages of 101 Sex Positions is like pouring gasoline on a fire. This sensually illustrated book guides lovers from the straightforward to the adventurous, from the bed to the table, and from "Who's on top?" to who's kneeling, standing, crouching, and holding which limb where. 101 Sex Positions emphasizes the fun, adventure, and enjoyment of experimenting with previously unexplored pleasures. From the Wheelbarrow, Hammock, and Deckchair to the Trapeze, Spinning Top, and Italian Chandelier, each position is fully illustrated and explained in detail. This attractive and useful design makes it easy for lovers to perfect each new position physically, and then quickly move on to sharing the pleasure and sexual intimacy it creates.

4 years of practicing what I learned - amazing results!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

I read this book 4 years ago when my marriage of 11 years ended. My goal was to understand what happened in my relationship and make sure I didn't make the same mistake again. This was one of about 20 books I read and literally the only one that I still practice what I learned everyday. I would love to boil it down to the key elements, but I strongly recommend taking this book to heart and going through the entire process. Also, it is important to be honest with yourself when Hendrix asks the tough questions. I also advise keeping this book and the notes you will write in a private place. If you're honest with yourself, you will be looking at yourself from the outside in. You will be completed and "whole" yourself and ready to be in a relationship. I also recommend that when you do find that next person, to encourage them to read this book, if not, at least employ some of key tactics, which you will pick up through reading the book. This is truly one of those books that has had a dramatically positive affect on my life.

Editorial Review:

A companion workbook to the enormously successful New York Times bestselling relationship book, Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples.

In 1988, Harville Hendrix in partnership with his wife, Helen LaKelly Hunt, published a terrifically successful relationship guide, Getting the Love You Want. The book introduced thousands to their Imago Relationship Therapy, a unique healing process for couples, prospective couples, and parents, and developed into an overnight sensation. For their part, Doctors Hendrix and Hunt managed to aid scores of couples in their plight for more loving, supportive, and deeply satisfying relationships. Now, more than a decade later, this companion book picks up where its predecessor left off, delving further into relationship therapy once again, to help transform relationships into lasting sources of love and companionship.

The Getting the Love You Want Workbook is designed for the hundreds of thousands of couples who have attended Imago workshops since Getting the Love You Want hit bookstands, as well as new and curious ones seeking a practical route back to intimacy and passionate friendship. The workbook contains a unique twelve-week course (The New Couples' Study Guide) designed to help work through the exercises published in Part III of Getting the Love You Want. Included are complete step-by-step instructions for transforming relationships into a lasting source of love and companionship.

For those of us struggling to maintain our most precious relationships, the Getting the Love You Want Workbook helps us grow aware of our individual, unconscious agenda while steering us towards a more harmonious link with our loved ones that will satisfy our deepest needs.
