Feeling adventurous? Sex educator and best-selling writer Violet Blue guides readers through the pleasure playground of strap-on sex for heterosexual couples. The wild success of The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women and The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Men makes it clear that anal sex is hitting the mainstream. Lots of hot women want to strap it on, and their male partners are often happy to oblige. With style and wit, Violet Blue explains pleasure anatomy in men, with ample attention to the prostate gland — the epicenter to male orgasm that's been called 'the male G-spot.' Full of crafty ideas on positions, toys, harnesses, role-play scenarios, and reading your partner like a dirty book, The Adventurous Couple's Guide to Strap-On Sex offers a step-by-step guide to making sparks fly.

"Her practical approach means your first attempts will be stress-free and very enjoyable, on both sides of the dildo." —Mistress 160
