This book is wonderfully written and it shows "non-traditional" ways inwhich women are having affairs. It also shows how family systems, overlooked patterns and lessions learned for ones mother has some bearing into these relationships. The book also reveals that just because the home looks good from the outside doesn't mean that it is a perfect picture! This book is a must have for understanding the psychological picture that is often left out in examining infidelity.

The subtitle may be "Why More Wives are Unfaithful", but don't be fooled -- this book offers no real insight whatsoever, just a parade of stupid, sad, sordid tales of selfish, oblivious women with no moral center. Turns out women cheat for exactly the same reasons men do -- they're a--holes. Forget about buying this book -- it was barely worth the effort to check it out of the library for free.

Review Date: 2007-08-01
I am not sure whether I am more disappointed by the lack of analysis into why the women cheat, especially the ones where they said they loved their husbands and felt their husbands were trying to meet their needs, or the fact the author is so flippant about her own affair. It is good that she eventually told her husband, but the only thing she seemed to truly felt any remorse for was that her sister called her right before she consumated the affair sexually. She already did the emotional affair, but even in her own story, though she expresses relief about not taking that final step, it does not seem that she would not do it in the future or truly understood why she did it in the first place. I would like to see a book where not only the juicy details were shared, but also some analysis into the psychological and emotional aspects, even if there is no moral judgment made. Especially in light of the fact that many of these women acknolwedge that the affairs hurt their relationships with everyone. It seems to me that it would be helpful to explore that aspect of fantasy world meeting reality in deeper way.

Her interviews with cheating wives were written in the authors own interpretations. (which she writes like bad Harlequin novels) For example: The 'Doctor' affair cannot be true, no Dr would invite a new patient with an emergency knife cut wound into an empty office after hours and then attempt to seduce the married patient with lines like "leave your blouse open we are casual here" or "one man's pain is another man's pleasure" with a leering grin, can you say Malpractice suit? The other stories are all just as bad/fake and there is never any conclusion to the question on the title why do wives cheat, what is the purpose of the book? This is just boring stories of desperate house-wife wannabees that may or may not have actually happened, not a self help or informal non-fiction.

This book had a lot of good ideas and tips for discussing that time in a girls life when her period comes. I have an 8 year old daughter and we are preparing to have "the talk" - this book showed me unique ways to approach the subject to make her and myself feel more comfortable talking. I would suggest this to all parents who need a little guidance and support with the womanly discussion.

Information Every Girl Needs to Know

As a young girl, I seem to remember ordering a book about this subject all on my own after seeing information in a magazine. I also seem to remember my parents telling me that they had heard of girls in India having babies as young as 7 or 9.

However, they didn't tell me how a girl could get pregnant, nor do I remember being told that I should expect my body to change. I read it all in books that I either found at the library or ordered with my pocket money. If I was mature enough to look up the information on my own, then I'd assume that most of today's young girls are mature enough to understand the importance of learning about menstruation.

Would this book have been helpful to me at age 10-12?

I think this book is an excellent choice for parents, but is definitely too mature for an 8 to-9 year old to read. The author recommends that you talk to your daughter at age 8 and explains that by age 9 some girls are already starting their menstrual cycle. The average age is 12. I think some 12-year olds might find this book interesting if you select a few stories. Some of the stories would not be appropriate to read to young children and even when reading these to an older 10-12- year old, you have the option of leaving out any details that are not age appropriate.

The Glossary is filled with detailed information that actually might interest girls who are 11-12 if they are interested in educating themselves in the finer details of being female. You might want to read everything first to see what is appropriate for your daughter.

So, I'd recommend this book to parents who are interested in reading a book about menstruation in order to explain the details to their daughters. There are three sections:

Start Preparing: How culture shapes the experience, stories of various experiences, ages, etc.

Brush up on Basic Facts: What to tell and when. What your daughter should know about mood swings and PMS.

Face to Face: How to talk to your daughter and how to talk to men about menstruation. There is also an interesting section called: "Menarche is a time to celebrate."

Jessica B. Gillooly, Ph.D., is a Marriage, Family and Child Counselor who is also the Assistant Professor of Psychology at Glendale Community College. Over the years she has conducted workshops on single parenting, fathering, mother/daughter issues and many other parenting challenges.

Jessica gives some excellent advice and explains the finer details of making the "talks" more comfortable for you and your daughter. She also includes a list of books you might want to order for additional information.

The list of "ice breakers," "challenging situations," and "questions to encourage dialogue" makes this book very practical.

This book was fairly informative but it wasn't meant for the teenage eye. It is for mother's that are to embarassed to talk to their children about these things or are not prepared to talk about it, so they buy there kids books and have then read them instead of having a talk with them personally. It's not a substitute. I wish my mom would talk with me about this stuff. I'm not ready at all and I haven't gotten my period but it could come at any time. I am interested in this stuff and I want someone besides my sister to talk about it with.

I, too was dreading the talk with my 10 year old daughter. Not knowing where or how to begin. This book really helped put things in order. It brought back some funny and not so funny memories of certain embarrassing situations which opens the door for discussion. I really think this is a great book for all mothers with daughters.

I was very impressed. I am not ready to talk to my daughter about menstruation but her body is telling me it is time. This book is mostly written for a mother. It has stories from girls and their mothers on how they feel about the subject of menstruation. However there is also a chapter just for Fathers on how to deal with their menstruating daughters and stories about how they learned about menstruation and how to talk to their sons about it.

I bought this book to give me an idea of where to begin the talks with my daughter, how to answer her questions, and the right language to use to make it easier for her to understand what is going to happen to her body. Reading this I feel more confident now that I can talk to her about all the changes of her body and that she will feel comfortable talking to me also.

When someone you love

The title says it all, "when someone you love." It's written with love, for people who love and want to understand those they love. I've owned a copy for years and regularly give it to friends, when they're trying to understand an unfamiliar side of their loved ones. A gentle, generous book about communicating in a terrifying situation.

Review Date: 2005-12-31
Being new to exploring our sexual preferences and desires, we got this book as most of the reviews said it was a good, basic introduction to the world of kink for beginners. This is true. We appreciated the factual information and the way the authors are able to relate the love of certain behaviors to more commonly accepted activities. For example, relating the physical pain and pleasure someone experiences when playing intense sports to the similar enjoyment someone gets out of being flogged. While we are not interested in flogging, it did help us understand why someone would enjoy that.

That being said, we found the tone of the book to be a bit patronizing. While we are new to exploring the world of kink, we are not some freaked out person on a ledge that needs to be soothed and talked down. The authors repeatedly give the reader permission to feel uncomfortable with the subject matter, which may be good for the person that was given this book because someone they love is kinky and they are completely aghast at this revelation, but, for us, we were really put off by this.

So, we found a third of the book to be useful. If you are someone that is really shocked and upset at a loved one's revelations, then I would suggest you read this book, as it really uses kid gloves and gentle talk to introduce you to the kinky world. If you are someone that is not completely upset or freaked, then I would think there would be better books out there that provide the same insight this book provides without the patronizing tone.

I bought this book to give to my sister. I ended up buying a second copy to keep for myself.
I don't think any book can be a substitute for an honest, thoughtful conversation, but this book certainly helps with those difficult questions that come up. It is very honest but gentle. It is easy to read, and full of compassion for both the nonkinky reader and the kinky person.
The surprise for me was how much I appreciated the book for myself. It includes a number of "coming out" letters the authors collected--letters kinky people wrote and wished they dared to send to their families and friends. Some of these were deeply touching.
There is such a sense of dignity and honesty in this book, it kept reminding me of reasons why being kinky person is something to be proud of. I ended up holding my head a little higher, feeling a little more confident and comfortable with myself.
And my sister loved the book too!

A Key to the Closet

Review Date: 2002-04-30
Discussing alternative and controversial sexualities is the raison detre of Greenery Press. This one goes further by directly addressing those not already in the choir (whether in or out of the closet). What a challenge! Even the authors acknowledge that they're so immersed in kink culture that they've lost a certain amount of objectivity.
The chapters follow the classic recipe for a successful scene: start slower than slow, lighter than light, and build up from there. A gentle introduction is followed by a check-in, with reminders to breathe and relax. Terms are defined, practices are described, and safety issues are given high priority. For the reader left wanting more, there's a resources guide.
Keeping in mind the reactionary skepticism I felt when one of my friends joined a religious cult, I wondered how effective this book would be in soothing a non-kinkster. Some of the more explicit passages - such as a lighthearted description of a birthday kidnapping orgy - might have Aunt Matilda calling for the funny wagon. This book would best be preceded by some deep heart-to-heart conversations between the loved ones, rather than offered as the initial coming out gesture. Perhaps it doesn't need saying, but I would recommend that the person coming out would benefit by reading the entire thing before offering it to Dad. Which brings me to an important point.
Easton and Liszt specifically address family, friends, mates, and health practitioners throughout the book. An unexpected side-effect was that I - an emerging-from-the-closet kinkster - found a deeper understanding and acceptance of myself and my desires. This could be the best BDSM introduction yet.

When I first started in Bondage some 20+ years ago, this was a very sensitive subject. Even today, in 2002, some people feel that bondage is for homosexuals and weirdos.So if you are having a hard time explaining your passion to friends and relatives, read this book it will help.There are better books on bondage though. Sm 101 by Jay Wiseman is one of the very best. Erotic Bondage by Wiseman is also excellent.Celebrate Life -

How would you receive a daily inspiration on Love for a lifetime and beyond?

As refreshing as a Spring-time breeze, the author has compiled a beautiful book with daily reflections on the many facets of love in our lives. I have used her sections on a daily basis, by lightly contemplating on the current day's theme. Inner silence and focus on her poetic descriptions has often revealed to me, some amazing and incandescent insights! It has a remarkable healing effect that goes deep into our very essence as Soul.

The diverse and meticulous nature of the prose spanning a whole year of entries is a tribute to the loving heart this writer has. Thank you Daphne, for bringing the passion and meaning of love's many guises to a warm reality and profound practicality in my life. I highly recommend it as a graceful contemplation to open your heart to love in your life.

I had forgotten about if for a long time, when I discovered it a few days ago. I love it all over again. Daphne Rose Kingma did a wonderful job of saying alot in a few words. Thank you so much Mrs. Kingma. I will relearn your wisdom from a perspective of being 11 years older. This book is very worth the cost and effort of getting it. I am sure it will teach you new wisdom to.

As a single mother, it is sometimes hard for me to remember to love those who are most important to me, including myself. I use this book to give each day a theme, to remind myself what is important, and to not forget the little things along the way. Daphne Rose Kingma has written a book that is as much a collection of affirmations as it is a daily hug, and who doesn't need a hug each and every day?

Review Date: 2008-06-18
Books about baby boomers and dating are proliferating because this particular group has declared themselves ageless. They feel it is never to late to do anything you want to do, including finding love. This book is a great choice for helping the newly single or inexperienced baby boomer find love. The writer is delightful and her book is well written and informative. If you want to find another book about the same subject, but slightly different in tone, try Baby Boomer Bachelorette: How to Have Sex at Least Once More Before You Die. The writer is witty and the book has tons of great information. Buy them both together and save money.

Find The Love Of Your Life After 50! by Alice Solomon is an invaluable and thoroughly "user friendly" self-help guide to the singles scene for women over fifty. From the advantages of computer dating; to a no-nonsense survey of what makes dating after 50 different; to the type of man one is most compatible with; to where to meet single men who would have an interest in older women, and so much more, Find The Love Of Your Life After 50! is an excellent primer embodying both the romantic and the practical.

(Deb Jones, Online Reviewer)
Don't let the title of the book fool you: FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE AFTER 50! This book is for women of any age, and for men as well, if they'd like some insight into the female mind and heart. For the younger set, the whole idea of the book may seem silly...but life does NOT end at thirty...and women and men in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth decades of their lives have emotional and sexual needs as do their younger counterparts. Alice Solomon has written a very sensible and insightful book about a long-ignored sector of the dating population. In this book written to and for "Gorgeous Grandmas," Solomon addresses issues such as how dating and relationships differ at this life stage than in younger years. Skin care is discussed as well as the importance of good grooming, and makeup for the mid-life woman. Realistic and varied places are presented for consideration of meeting new people, as well as prompts to remain open-minded and non-judgmental when doing so. Because people who are meeting one another at this point in their lives are not looking to marry in order to raise a family, it is pointed out that readers should reflect on what lifestyle changes they are willing to make...and those that they are not. There are multiple self-help quizzes to aid the reader in her quest to make the most of this portion of her dating life. Alice Solomon writes from personal experience, as well as that of her friends and readers and listeners to both her formerly syndicated newspaper column and as a former radio show co-host The book is written in a clear and flowing style, easy-to-read and unpretentious. Reading FINDING THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE AFTER 50! is like having great conversation with a good friend.

Alice Solomon bills herself as a Gorgeous Grandma. While not every boomer wants to consider herself a gorgeous grandma, the spirit behind the idea is great. This spirit evokes fun and adventure and is evident in the pages of this book. The book is actually a collection of essays about different aspects of dating after 50 -- everything from Internet dating to face cream, assertiveness and the peril of married men. It also has a number of good suggestions as to where to meet men, including activities to take up.

I've found in my coaching practice that many women who are dating haven't done the inner work that they need to do first. This book will help you prepare for dating in many ways, so it's worth the read. The only negatives I find about it are that it does seem a little disjointed because of the essay style and it feels like she's talking to women who are older than my age (mid-50s if you must know!).

If you have forgotten how to flirt and just starting out on the dating scene after 50, this is the book for you.

I had no idea what I was in for when I began reading Timothy's memoirs. Timothy's writing is so beautiful, the words just flow across the pages.

"Little & Lonely" left me wanting to hear more......Can't wait for the next installment.

Little - The first few chapters of this memoir are of course from the author's early years and dealt with his experiences from a child's perspective. Subject matter, while not exactly my cup of tea, was interestingly portrayed, and it didn't take long for things to start moving forward.

Lonely - The revelation of his sexuality and how he came to terms with both the issues of self-love and acceptance in his family as well as the wider community was evocative and empowering.
Every person on the planet who is marginalized for whatever reason: sexual identity, race, gender... what-have-you, will be able to identify with this story.

I must admit that I had difficulty with this book at first. The writer produces a world that is so fast paced, it borders on the frenetic. I had to re-read portions to make sure I had not lost my place. It is my singular complaint, and why I would give this book four stars. (On a side note: there were some minor techinical errors, like typos, as other reviewers have mentioned. Personally, with Independent authors, who don't have the backing of publishing houses and their legions of copy-editors, a couple minor mistakes is a small price to pay for the opportunity to read original work)
My partner, who also read all six chapters, had to remind me; how much I hated the television show: 'ER' when it first came on, because it was so fast paced and frenetic. (He gives 'Lonely' five stars)

So between us, it's a 4.5!
We're both looking forward to the continuing saga!

It's been said that the easiest book to write is the one you know, therefore,it makes sense that a memoir would be the place to start. After reading Mr. Mulder's book, I'm thinking a memoir would be much more difficult, than say, nonfiction because at least the author can invent the situations and outcomes. Hats off to this author for picking up the pen when the situations and outcomes weren't so easily put on paper.

I felt that Mr. Mulder's account was honest and intriguing. I felt like he had taken my hand and gave me a personal tour of a lifestyle that I could only imagine as I am not gay and have only "heard" what I know.

I find the writing style comfortable yet captivating. I can easily lose myself in his words and find that he has a way of gracefully ending the chapters while keeping the suspense going for what's in store.

I am not going to give a summary of the book as others have done, instead, I am simply going to advise you not to miss this opportunity to take a walk down this particular memory lane. It's a journey I will remember for a long time and I'm grateful to Mr. Mulder for sharing.

A Poignant Must-Read Story

Timothy Mulder's "Lonely - Moments and Milestones" is a very poignant story that is a must-read, both for those of us who have been blessed with lives less troubled, and those who have fallen into despair and need the real-world inspiration of a survivor to help turn their lives around.

While it is a soul-baring tale of the discovery of his homosexuality and the ordeal of coming to grips with it in the "graceless age" of the 1980s, readers - particularly straight readers - should take note that this is not a "gay story." Timothy's struggles through puberty and adolescence and the quest to define his identity through his high school years could be an anthem for countless teens who spent that phase of life feeling like misunderstood outsiders, isolated from their peers and, more often than not, their families. In Timothy's case, homosexuality was the driver behind his isolation, but one could easily substitute any number of other catalysts - regardless of one's sexual persuasion - and his story would be just as relevant. It isn't just a story about being gay, it's a story about the agony suffered by anyone who doesn't fit into the established mold in the mainstream of society.

His writing style handles the lighter moments of his story with engaging and witty humor, while his revelations of the darker chapters of his life are open and self-critical without a trace of preaching. It's an enjoyable if tragic drama in words that made me reflect on my own childhood, and how blessed so many of us have been that we have never had to face such trials as those who have walked Timothy's path.

While the text suffers from the occasional typo, I believe that "Lonely" is definitely a book worth reading, and is easily worth several times what the author is charging as of this writing. If you've ever been an outsider, or if you are looking for insights to help light the way for friends or loved ones who may be struggling with their own sense of isolation, "Lonely" will not disappoint.

Even if you have no real interest in women in the Bible this book is beneficial. Weems aptly explains the use of metaphor in scripture with regard to textual interpretation. If I have a small criticism it is that she over-explains just a little bit, but her writing here is applicable to many scriptural texts as a basis for understanding context. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in better understanding the Bible as a whole.

If you are particularly interested in women in the Bible you will find this book fascinating. If you enjoy studying prophecy you will find this book insightful. It's an easy read - it won't take much of your time to read it, and the benefit is well worth it.

However, the author made the assumption that the reader would agree with the basic premise that the biblical world was an inherently sexist society, in which women had no status. While I would agree with that, since she did not examine or support her presumtions, it made her conclusions harder to accept because she did not lay a good foundation. She does seem to presume that the reader would have more difficulty with the role of metaphor in the Bible.
In essence my low rating comes from the viewpoint, that I wanted more content in the structures of sexism within ancient Israel rather than an explanation of metaphor in the Bible. I should say I was torn between giving this book three or four stars. If there was a button for three and a half, that is probably what I would have given it.

God as Wife Abuser

Battered Love is about how the Hebrew Bible prophets portrayed the relationship between Israel and God. Many times the metaphor of God as husband and Israel as wife was used.

Weems points out in a fascinating study, that God was often portrayed as setting up all the rules and that strict obediance of the rules was necessary for people of Israel, the subordinate partner in the divine/human relationship. If the Israelites disobeyed the rules, then God was permitted to beat up Israel. If Israel later returned to God, then God would love Israel again.

Renita Weems explains how a metaphor works and how metaphors are used by people. Furthermore she explains quite lucidly that for many people the human husband represented God, and the wife represented the subordinate partner. Therefore, husbands throughout the centuries have believed that they have permission to beat up their disobedient wives. Renita Weems especially looks at the prophets Ezekiel, Hosea, and Jeremiah to prove her case.

Words do hurt!

Prof. Weems has contributed a helpful critique of the social implications inherent in the Prophets' choice of metaphors. This book will alter - for the better - the way you view the Hebrew Prophets, God, and yourself.

A must have in female domination

The best book read about real female domination. I have used the advices in my personal life and it works. If I should explain the book in a nutshell I would say that is just "common sense". Everything is logical, it explain female domination in a simple way, how to convince your partner and useful techniques used, there aren't pointless chapter, it contain everything that is necessary to start with female dominance.

The only problem is that the title and cover is not commercial, only when you have read enough blogs you discover this treasure.

Great book.

Being in the lifestyle for many years, it was such a pleasant surprise to find a well thought out, well written book about D/s and the beauty of the dynamic from a female dominant point of view. Although, it is not necessary to share this perspective to benefit from this read!

The book is wonderful - full of information, shared experience and all done with a lovely sense of humor. It is a joyful, and loving, easy read. Ms Rika delves into the female led relationship using examples from her own life experience and shows how to interpret what she writes into reality. Dominant or submissive it is a wonderful tool and a must have for your collection about BDSM.

With the ease of Ms Rika's writing, the only thing I could add is I wished it were longer! I look forward to more from this writer and hope she goes more in depth and share's it back to us with many more books. I can not say enough!

Perfect!

Female dominance from an intelligent prospective! This book is filled with actual examples, and philosophies for the new or vintage dominant. While it is based on female dominance/ male submission, the philosophies are gender neutral and would be great help for those in a male dominated relationship as well!

Well laid out, very thought provoking. A good book to foster discussion in any type of relationship!

Well done!

A New Approach to Pickup and Seduction!!

I really enjoyed this one. Cooper shows you can be a cool guy without being a total pushover or a jerk.

The book is divided into different sections that will help PUAs of ALL LEVELS with:

- understanding her and how she works
- finding her
- getting her
- and keeping her (should you want something longterm)

The "keeping her" section is what I most appreciated, since most of the material in this genre gets your foot in the door, but leaves you alone and clueless when you run out of routines.

This book is bigger than just "pickup lines." It's about how to take this thing are far as you want.

Good stuff on framing, mindset, and taking control of dating/pickup situations. As I said earlier, I think it will work for people of ALL LEVELS, however, if you're just looking for pickup lines or bar tricks, you might want to pass, because this book is much deeper than that.

This book will have help you "have it all".

Got this book as a joke, because the title got my attention and made me curious.

Big surprise!! This is a pretty good read! Definitely some good tips on dating and relationships. Also a good slant on "self improvement" that will not only make your approach easier, but make get women to approach you. That's the best part of the book, in my opinion.

Have been a fan of NLP for a number of years. One of the first "rules" of NLP is to start with the outcome in mind. This book will definitely help you to do that. Figure out what you want and go after it. That alone will change your life BIG TIME,not just in dating, but all other aspects as well.

I really liked the pragmatic approach. Cooper Newman is a guy who knows what he wants, knows how to get it, and is able to show you how to do the same thing, in an easy and simple-to-understand way.

Seriously, guys...this stuff in this book is BIG. It shows you how to get the "hot women" in your life, whatever that may be. Want a job? This book can help you. Want a nice place to live? This book will show you how to get it. And of course, if you want a great women, this book will help you there also.

Everything you know about dating is wrong!!

Ok, some of us who have been reading guys like Mystery, Neil Strauss, and other pickup masters have a clue, but this book goes beyond more books I've read on the subject of pickup and seduction.

New to all of this? For those of you who are trying to get more dates and aren't aware of these guys and their style of picking up women, this book is a good place to start.

What I liked about this one is that Cooper lets YOU make the decision on what you want; is it a relationship that lasts a while or a one-night stand? This book will help you with both. Like the Wedding Singer said, "Nobody wants to see Fonzie get old," so if you feel that way and you're ready to settle down, this book will give you the skills to do it. Strangely enough, the one nighter and a LTR have a lot of similarities. You'll learn the "one night stand" techniques that you can use in a long-term relationship to make it more fun, for example.

That's what I really liked about this one. He goes BEYOND simply picking up somebody and gets into skills that will allow you to keep her around, if that's what you want to do. Rarely do books in this genre do that. So for that reason, I give this one a 5-star rating. You need to know what to do if you want to "keep her."

Overall, a great read. Good stuff about Approach, Social Calibration, Demonstrating Desirability, Frame Control, and Inner Game.

This is a great book, I enjoyed how in depth and detailed it got. It is truly an amazing log of the evolution of sexuality. However, I can't believe the price on here is up to $95. That is crazy.

A great Outlook on sexual inhabitions and what drives them!

This book was written by my uncle who has always been an inspiration in my life. This book is just another extension of his Greatness! Malcolm Potts takes his work very seriously. I know that this book will and has already made changes in my life as far as human sexuality goes. It will make me take my sexual desires and actions to a new and much safer level.

This book is a MUST for anyone who considers themselves an unbiassed thinker. If only there were a text like this when I was in college. It will appeal to anyone interested in anthropology, sociology and/or zoology. You don't have to agree with the arguments of the authors as they are the flavour enhancers of the proverbial "food for thought". The beauty of this book is it's personal affect of invading your waking and sleeping hours with questions. Wonderfully stimulating, the best thing I have read in AGES. What a legacy.

Of course there is nothing new under the sun...or is there? Better read this often funny, frequently irreverent book with remarkable sexual pictures and graphics. New syntheses must draw on past information. Like any masterpiece, these authors took lifetimes to acquire and understand the knowledge they now offer us in this complex, yet easy to read scientific recitation of human and other sexual histories. The book tells you about our evolutionary hsitory, that we are indeed descended from earlier animals and even earlier forms of life. They document that the main evolutionary drive for humans and mammals generally has been and is SEX, for the key to our existence is the need to produce the BEST next generation. For many this book will prove an epiphany of understanding, a creation of more reverence for life, but one not based on the mythology of religion, but on the clear facts of science. Don't miss it.
