The 7 Secrets of Really Great Sex
A note of caution before I move forward with this review, Masterton’s writing is very graphic, which probably won’t bother any of out male readers, however, it does take some getting use to for those female readers who aren’t use to blunt sexual lingo. The very first Graham Masterton book I ever read was How to Drive Your Man Wild in Bed back in the eighties, and I spent a good deal of the time reading it bright red with embarrassment, in constant fear someone was going to catch me.
But I did learn quite a bit, and the truth is that when it comes to opening a door for people to view their sexuality and the sort of pleasure they can experience, Masterton is a master. So when I became single again and decided I wanted to brush up on my sexual knowledge five years ago I was very pleased to find out the Masterton had written several more books (he’s written over twelve).
Masterton has written most of his books with the female reader in mind (including this one), but I urge male readers to be open to his work as well (including this book) as you’ll find it very enlightening – especially when you read time and time again how so many women are tremendously insecure about their bodies, their sexual allure, and the tremendous fear they have to overcome in order to share with their partners just what they need sexually in order to be satisfied.
Masterton is very clever in how he’s formulated his books and the manner in which he gives advice. As a former Penthouse and Penthouse Forum magazine editor he’s learned the power of the personal testimonial, and that women are far more likely to try something another woman already had the courage to try rather than to do something just because a man wants her to – most especially in regards to sex.
In The 7 Secrets of Really Great Sex you meet all kinds of women, of all ages, from all walks of life who’ve been coached by Masterton on a particular sexual challenge (he’s coached them prior to the writing of the book), who then share with you the reader their particular success stories – and let me tell you, their adventures get wild!
Here’s just a tiny, rather mild example Secret 3: Teasing Time where a woman takes Masterton’s advice to take the initiative to steam up a stale sex life with a long time boyfriend:
“The first afternoon he came home around about four-thirty as usual, and I had the whole scene set up for him. I’d just taken a shower and washed my hair and wrapped it up in a big pink towel. When he came in I was sitting naked on the toilet with my legs wide apart. I had squirted his shaving foam between my legs and I was carefully shaving off my pussy hair.”
Or how about where Masterton advises a new mother to accept and appreciate the part of her body that she felt the least confident about – her breasts:
“Nolan doesn’t work on Wednesdays, so I got up early when he was still asleep. Most mornings our baby sleeps till nine o’clock so I didn’t have to worry about him. I put on my cut off denim shorts and that was all. It felt kind of strange walking around the house bare-breasted because I usually wear a baggy t-shirt or something. But I thought it was pretty sexy. I looked at myself in the mirror in the hallway and I squeezed my breasts and pushed them up a bit with my hands and I thought, Gemma, you have beautiful breasts, let’s make sure that Nolan takes notice of them.”
But this isn’t a book that’s about titillation (though it works on that level too) but rather sexual empowerment through self-exploration and allowing yourself to consider pushing your own sexual envelope. Or as Masterton puts it so succinctly:
“In truth there is only one basic secret of really great sex, although this book will show you seven different ways it can transform your love life.
That secret is for you to take control of your own sexual pleasure. In other words, don’t leave your arousal and satisfaction to anybody else, not even to your husband or your lover. Only you know what you really want out of your sex life...”
Ah, you ask, but what about those of us who aren’t quite sure what the heck we want? Not to worry. This book will spark and inspire you to delve into your own journey of sexual self-discovery. The seven different ways Masterton lays out are:
1.Think Sexy
2.Let Yourself be Sexy
3.Teasing Time
4.Dress to Thrill
5.Devote Yourself to His Delight
6.Play Sexy For Me
7.Boldly Go…to the Final Frontier
8.57 Ways to Have Really Great Sex
I found this passage from this chapter particularly powerful:
“…no matter how much you know about sex and sexual variations, mo matter how much you know about men and how to give them all the pleasure they’re looking for, you won’t be able to take full control of your love life until you’ve completely acknowledged in your won mind how sexy you are and then decided just how sexy you’re prepared to be.
You have extraordinary sexual power. It’s there – every woman has it. It may be deeply inhibited by your upbringing or your education or one or more unhappy sexual experiences in your past, but it’s there. If you can believe that it’s there, if you can start to feel it, you can gradually develop it to its fullest.”
