Product Description
Did you know that the scent that turns men on the most is pumpkin pie mixed with lavender? And that women have been known to go wild from a whiff of Good & Plenty and cucumber?
For anyone who wants to know more about sex, attraction, and how to improve his or her chances with someone cute comes this indispensable resource from Judy Dutton. How We Do It takes you into the simmering world of sex researchers who have been documenting the many esoteric aspects of the erotic realm for years. With this book the laboratory door is finally open to you.
Follow the fictional couple John and Jane as they meet, flirt, kiss, have sex, and try to figure out what their attraction means and what to do about it. Backed by hundreds of scientific studies and interviews with people just like you, Judy Dutton reveals the why behind John’s impulse to rip Jane’s clothes off before he gets to know her. Even more than the science, though, How We Do It gives you hands-on lessons on how to take your sex life up a notch and put science to good use.
• What’s the best way to handle someone’s hot spots?
• Are men more promiscuous than women?
• Does size really matter?
• What brings on bigger, better orgasms?
• Can a brain scan tell if you’re in love or just in lust?
• Will there ever be a women’s version of Viagra?
• Why should women plan dates around their ovulation schedule?
• Why are men with names containing i or e more attractive?
• Why do women always seem to fall for jerks?
• Why do men chase women who are much younger than they are?
Nowadays, anyone on the Web can call themselves a “sexpert” but have no more credentials than your clueless best friend. Judy Dutton interviews the real experts who devote their lives–and their graduate degrees–to the subject of sex. But all her research wasn’t done solely with people in white coats. She also hit the streets to see just what’s going on in the world of attraction. As a result, How We Do It is an illuminating and accurate look at what turns us on, what turns us off, and how we can get better in the sack.

If you are looking to turn yourself into a better lover, this book can help. It's really well written and easy to understand. I liked that the book got right down to the issue at hand and didn't hem and haw around like some others can. It's a good read, if you want to know more about this suject. Also liked What Your Mother Never Told You About Sex.

I was lucky enough to read this book just upon its release. It is witty, informative, fresh and very well written. It has been a delight to read (and study!) for me, and would be for anyone with even the vaguest interest in the topic - and who doesn't? The author writes in a thoughtful way while offering tons of educational trivia and practical ideas that will keep you thinking long after you've finished! I applaud the book for its practicality, broad approach and appeal, and being an exceptionally enjoyable read ... definitely worth picking up.

This is one fabulous book. Well-written and informative, a gem in the sea of so many books about sex that teach you nothing new. This one definitely teaches you a lot of great, new stuff!

I received this book as a gift and wasn't particularly eager to read it, but I dipped into it and was quickly captivated--especially when I read, for instance, about the studies that have shown that people who have more, and more satisfying, sex live longer! The wide array of fascinating scientific findings are relayed in an engaging, lively style. Yet the book is neither drearily detailed nor annoyingly glib. Most surprising of all to this skeptic, it has already improved my own sex life--so apparently I'll live longer. Who can ask for more from a book?
