 disappointing March 15, 2007

This is certainly not a "guide," as the title suggests. It talks a great deal about and around the issue, but offers little in terms of technique. I guess if you're not sure you even want to do it, this book might be helpful in making you more comfortable with the idea. But if you are actually looking for some specific advice that will give him "mind-blowing pleasure" as the book title infers, you won't find it here.
Promises to be an interesting read... March 9, 2007

I'm about fifty pages in to this... I found it boring at first, but it seems to be getting more interesting. It is very informative and surprisingly long. My only disappointment is that the pictures are drawings (and not very good ones). Considering who it's written by, you would think that there would be some stock pictures that could be included... That would have been a lot better.
Incidentally, my husband is very excited by some of the new techniques that I have learned already.
 Great advice January 17, 2007

I've given a few copies of this book to young, inexperienced girlfriends who are afraid to ask about sex, and reluctant to experiment. Each of them have thanked me in the end, and feel it is great advice. Since receiving the book must feel uncomfortable, I came up with a patented technique to break the ice. First session, I give her the big O and refuse to undress. Then I give her the book and tell her to dazzle me tomorrow. They all say it has improved their skills. Practice makes perfect girls, get a copy of this.
Not the end-all guide; pick this up with some other more infromative manuals January 17, 2007

Violet Blue's Ultimate Guide provides frank and scientifically sound discussion on the subject of fellatio, however, it does not fully live up to its subtitle. This is a beginner guide at best, and Blue devotes too much time to the mechanics of hair and hygiene, health considerations, social considerations, gender issues, and not enough to technique and the experience. She devotes an entire chapter to "Deep Throat," failing to mention that this is largely a fantasy phenomenon and not an end-all ultimate technique. It would be terrible for a novice to read this book and spend hours practicing the deep throat on various objects, thinking that it is the ultimate sex goal.
Blue should be commended for speaking frankly about anal play, role playing, and many of the bonus add-ons fellatio. The chapters are interspersed with original erotic tales from Alison Tyler, which waver between hitting the mark and detracting from the flow of the book.
One of my chief complaints about Blue's work is that she speaks openly and freely about technique and the contact between body parts, and then at the end of discussion, tosses off that all of this should be done with condoms, finger caps, and dental dams. She throws in safe sex as an afterthought, not as an integral part of her text. She preaches about safe sex, but she does not incorporate it into her discussions of technique.
Pick this book up along with some other guides, such as the outstanding Guide to Getting It On, and compare the discussions. Violet Blue's book is one of the better guides, but don't read it without picking up some of the other 5-star sex guides available.
