Do you have any idea how to stimulate his P-spot? (He might not even know he has one!)
Would you like to have a better lust life?
Then The Best You’ll Ever Have is must-have bed-side reading. Shannon Mullen has spent years learning about every last nerve in the female body—and every sex toy under the sun. She interviewed sex educators, doctors, and therapists. Then, armed with her favorite sex toys, or Sexories, she started talking to groups of women who gathered in living rooms all over the country. In these intimate Sex-Ed Salons, she shared the fruits of her extensive research with women, who opened up to her with their biggest questions, misconceptions, and fears (and revealed some fun and dirty stories along the way!).
In The Best You’ll Ever Have, you’ll find a deliciously confessional, frank, and funny guide that will help you learn:
• How to feel sexually stimulated from head to toe
• How to incorporate Sexories into a sensational sex life
• How to tell your partner exactly what turns you on in bed
• How to achieve knock-your-socks-off orgasms whenever you want them
• How to spice things up with your partner so he can have knock-your-socks-off sex, too!
Full of practical advice, illuminating tidbits of knowledge about our bodies, inspiration for anyone who has ever been confused about sex, and honest talk from real women who are all searching for a fabulous time in bed, The Best You’ll Ever Have will help anyone turn on their lust life!
Customer Reviews:
Frank, clearly written and empowering.......2005-01-18
In a time of sexual freedom and supposed sexual equality, it's amazing how many women still don't know their bodies. Ms. Mullen's frank, clearly written and empowering book explains the real deal to today's modern woman.
A New Friend.......2005-01-14
Mullen's writing style makes one feel like they are talking to an old friend. I feel like Shannon is now a friend of mine. This book is great to read cover to cover or to simply pick up and flip to certain sections. This will be a resource that I keep around for a long time.
This book delivers........2004-11-29
I found this book very compelling reading. It was writen quite well and I basically finished it in one sitting. I appreciated Ms. Mullen's treatment of sensitive sexual issues and will be referring some of my counseling patients to this book. Her mature and clever take on a variety of sexual behaviors will be useful to many people who find it difficult to communicate with their partners regarding their sexual wants and needs. Oh, by the way, I learned some interesting new things for myself.
The "best" I've ever read!!!!!.......2004-11-28
I had a great time reading this book. I found it to be very well written. Her style is refreshing and totally cool. I read the whole book in one day. She presents her knowledge in an informative and easy to read format. This book is part jokebook and part girlfriends bonding book and part illustrative textbook all rolled into one. I can't wait for the sequel!
Tell Me More!.......2004-11-25
A pleasure to read and even more fun to put to use, The Best You'll Ever Have definitely lives up to its title. Shannon Mullen delivers useful information and fabulous advice in a no-nonsense fashion, leaving the reader wanting more, if you know what I mean. Her candid and clever quips, coupled with real stories from real women, make this book a must-read for every woman. And, Guys, with a title like that, what can it hurt?

Book Description
What Every Woman Should Have produced by Herter Studio
Do you have it? WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE is the biggest little book of the year for grown-up girls of all ages. Smart, sassy, and soulful, here's the manifesto for the woman who works, plays, and laughs hard— and is always looking to get an edge on life. From the recipe for the complete tool box (a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra), to timeless advice about friendships, family, and falling in love, this spunky little book belts out a universal battle cry for today's independent woman. Inspired by the celebrated chain email—the one we didn't trash—WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE pairs the refrain we all love to sing with black-and-white vintage photographs that inspire laughter, reflection, and insight. Urbane yet sweet, WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE is the book every Sex in the City junkie has been waiting to give her girlfriends (and herself!).

Good if you are a really low-tech user - not enough functionality for most.......2007-06-05
After leaving the PC and Windows world behind by buying an iMac G5 I needed to convert my personal website from a FrontPage format. I am not a web designer by any stretch, but I do know my way around html codes and desire some creative license on how my site looks. Contribute was recommended to me for it's ease of use - the only other option for Macs is Dreamweaver, which was entirely too technical for my needs.
I used it for about one month and decided it really geared more for a static corporate page where you may want to periodically update text. It has a nice 'user' restriction function, so your employees can log on and make changes, then those changes can be reviewed and uploaded (a safety net for those admins who do not want their employees monkeying around with the live website) - but as a photographer I found it really lacking in ease of use for photo uploads, major text or style changes, and the theme selection was limited and BOOORRRING. Definitely not a replacement for FrontPage and I wished I would have figured all of this out before I purchased so hopefully this revew will be helpful to you.
Book Description
Based on hundreds of interviews with promoters, DJs and ravers from over thirty countries, Rave Culture; an insider's overview is a positive endorsement of rave and a comprehensive guidebook to the rave phenomenon for ravers and non-ravers alike.

Ideological Manifesto - No Deep Analysis Here.......2005-01-03
I read this book during my doctoral studies on rave culture during the late 1990s. It is not among my favorites books, but Fritz does deliver his goal: to provide an "insider's overview" (as the book subtitle says). It genuinely reflects the 1990s rave P.L.U.R. ideology of pure sentimentalism and naive optimism.
In this connection, it overemphasizes rave spirituality, a common feature amid rave veterans, not found in the average weekend consumer. The book also underplays ravers' often-dreadful concerns with drug abuse. Fritz thus reflects other MDMA authors' enthusiasm with pharmacological enlightenment, since they have tried 'ecstasy' a few times only, ignoring the dystopian dimension of psychedelia.
The reader should not expect any type of sociological analysis here. The book is a manifesto, reflecting the highly optimistic mood of rave subcultures before they submerged in the early 2000s (under right-wing hegemonies and the post-9/11 doomsday scenario).
If you were a loyal raver, the book will resonate with your original experiences with rave. As an outsider, you will learn about the raver mentality from the point-of-view of an enthusiastic participant, even though 2000s electronica fans are much more realistic, skeptical and even cynical in comparison with former "candy ravers".
Great Book.......2004-08-23
This is a must read for anyone interested in raves.
Michael Brianson's review below is WAY off base.
Buy this book.
just more pap............2004-05-24
one more book pushing old quotes and usless info about a dying dope scene. if you are looking for an educated veiw of this scene you won't find it in this book. it could also use another edit to help with the flow and grammer, but next to that it does not present anything new or truly useful.
an informative read.......2001-07-14
I found "Rave Culture: an Insider's Overview" to be a totally fun read. It has an easy and clear format for delivering the info on the rave sound and the surrounding environment. I highly recommend it to anyone who is curious about the rave dance-movement, and the influence that this sound is having on the culture. Read it and become aware!
Rave Culture, the book ........2001-07-13
This book by Jimi Fritz is very well documented & is educational on all levels of the subject. It is also being used as a resource book in university. It has been written by an insider of the "rave culture", & therefore is not simply academic, but has been written by one Jimi Fritx who loves to dance, in trance . I have personally known the author & his family for over a decade & I can say that this book has been composed with total integrety along with insider experince . thank you / enjoy reading this book

Children Love Drama Games! .......2007-08-24
I have been an acting teacher for nine years and an co-author of my own acting book "Finally..Monologues That Work" and the one thing children love the most in class is the games! Games and more games. They can't get enough. 101 Drama Games For Children gives us variety. It is a great source for teachers who teach acting or in the classroom. It keeps the children interested, helps them learn and they have so much fun. Who could ask for more.
Good games, good times.......2007-07-07
This book focuses a lot on the younger crowd, but can be enjoyed by students of any age! I'm an elementary drama teacher. Great buy!
Great book.......2007-06-09
I teach a summer drama class for grades 1-6, and it has a lot of really great games for all of the age groups, I do however wish there were a few more for the younger groups, but many can be adapted.
Very good for introducing creative play!.......2007-03-28
While not directly about "Drama", this book offers great games to get children thinking fast and exercising their creative muscles. I am having a lot of fun using it in an introductory drama class for 1st to 3rd grade chilren. I would recommend this book for anyone looking for ideas to use creative play groups more than for teaching specific dramatic techniques. It's about the fun of imagination!
Very usable - great resource!.......2002-08-28
You will use this book over and over. I teach gifted upper elementary and middle school drama students. This book is one of my favorites - it is likely to be one of yours too.
Book Description
Designed to help teachers and group leaders create dynamic and supportive play environments, this book features completely different games than the first one. These improvisational, noncompetitive games encourage involvement and cooperation — the participants gain as much as they contribute. By expressing themselves physically and emotionally and by exploring a range of possibilities, players gain self-confidence and a greater awareness of the feelings and experiences of others. 39 black-and-white illustrations are included.
