This book is very thorough and beginners will find it especially helpful. There's some interesting thoughts on inhibitions, good information on male anatomy and male orgasmic response, and useful suggestions for solo practice, as well as a variety of techniques for male genital massage. The chapter on male anatomy and sexual response will be especially helpful to people with little sexual experience, however they'll need to read it more than once, and will probably find it a little overwhelming. It's very thorough and detailed. Additional information on anal play, fantasies and use of toys rounds out the book. Blue deals with uncomfortable issues in a straightforward way throughout the book, providing thoughts and anecdotes with a healthy attitude toward sex. But the techniques are the heart of the book. I find it indispensable.
