From January 1 to December 31, 365 Sex Positions offers couples an exciting new way to spice up their sex lives every day of the year. Opening this book to any page reveals an enticing new position complete with how-to information, enjoyment tips, and an evocative photograph of the position. Clearly written, with an easy-to-use design and a belief that nothing heats up a couple's bedroom as fast as a new position, 365 Sex Positions is the ultimate tool for achieving higher levels of pleasure. This stylish and attractive guide offers something for everyone. There are erotic variations on the missionary, doggie, and cowgirl positions; modern examples of Kama Sutra classics; and acrobatic positions for advanced lovemaking.
Ok, so I was interested to find out about the 365 different positions and see if there were some that I might like to try and found that I am doing just fine with what I know already - LOL
Every page is illistrated with a photo of a different position with a name. The explicit photos are very eye appealing and HOT!.
What I found though was that most positions were the same but maybe had a leg lifted for a different angle so basically if you raise your arm or leg it becomes a new position. Out of the 365 positions, only 25 percent were the original position and the rest were same position but maybe the guy or gal was in reverse order or up side down for that matter.
Some of the positions looked very uncomfortable for instance the woman or man in the position of a hand stand having sex - LOL Looked like to much work for me - ha ha.
Every photograph had one to two sentences in description of the positon, there was no story line or introduction, just straight to the self explanation photo. Good thing was that the photos are of men and women and not stick people.
Very nicely illustrated, although some positions would be difficult to hold, I imagine! It looks like all the photographed couples are couples in real life too, they seemed very comfortable with each other and some were even smiling!
Borrowed this for giggles, mainly because I was just surprised to see something like this available through my library's online download section.
The giggles lasted for maybe a couple pages, then quickly became more and more ho-hum, probably because despite the "365 positions" the title promises, many, *many* poses are exceedingly similar to others, as in Missionary 1 (regular) and Missionary 2 (exact same as Missionary 1, except with the left foot maybe 3 inches higher in the air.)
Of course, they don't have names as "boring" as those: the author tries to come up with different and whimsical names for each of them (which will probably have you groaning and/or side-eyeing the page.) Also included are groan-worthy descriptions that aren't really all the helpful in explaining what's going on in the photo. Take for example, "The Crazy Cat": The stronger he is, the higher her kitty will climb in this gravity-defying twist on the Coital Alignment Technique. All the frontal friction on her purr spot means that she will be meowing with pleasure.
Rowr, eh?
Also, I'm sure no one checked the actual writing in this thing before sending it out into the world, since they figured no one would actually read the words in the book. They should have, though, as the result is several descriptions that require your brain to be more flexible than most of these sex moves in order to figure out what the hell they meant.
Example--The Cow (what a hot name.): In this superdeep position, she can contract and relax her pelvic muscles to milk him into a frothy shake (wait until pelvic after him Into before shake this until after yoga class before trying this one.)
If you managed to make it past "milk him into a frothy shake" without your brain dying, then the rest of the stuff in the parentheses will just baffle you.
And speaking of flexible, even if you start easy and "work your way up", I doubt many people will actually try the handstand blowjob, or doggy style on a balance ball, or other ridiculous positions that seem to require way too much work when people just wanna get off.
This book is probably best used for copying poses when you want to draw porny art. That's about it.
The title of this book is attention-grabbing, I give the author that; but apart from that, there is nothing attention-grabbing inside. Most of the sex positions in there are variations of just one, meaning you just have 69 positions instead of 365. In addition, it is too impractical to have real (penetrative) sex every day, or any sex, because:
a). the woman would have menses, b). the woman would have their infamous mood swings, c). the woman would have their occasional headaches, d). the woman would travel for business, etc, etc.
Moreover, the prose is too shallow to qualify for any explanation of the sex positions in the descriptions. What I'm not saying is, the author did not do justice to this book. Well, Lisa Sweet has tried, but I think she is an Anne Hooper wannabe.
The author of this book, whose wobbling prose becomes increasingly purple with each stiff drink I can't help but imagine her imbibing as she struggled to wrack her brain for content, was pretty clearly handed a stack of stock softcore porn photographs and told to churn out a product by the end of the week. It is permeated - nay, saturated - with repetition extremely thinly veiled by swapping the receiving gender or altering the silly, made-up name given to a particular position or act; who knew that not only can a woman kiss a man's neck, but a man can kiss a woman's neck as well? Furthermore, previous to reading this book I was unaware that one could engage in 'doggy style' while standing, kneeling, or somewhere between while using a bed, table, chair, desk, or exercise machine; I feel, however, that more entries could have been devoted to doggy style using an ottoman, piano, vanity, dresser, fencepost, mailbox, and various makes and individual models of automobile. Not only positions, but several photographs are reused as well. A number of the positions depicted could not possibly work, as demonstrated by many photos in which the involved anatomy is obviously in no way capable of achieving sexual contact without sustaining a compound fracture or undergoing years of intensive training for Cirque du Soleil. One particularly eye-catching piece of botched photoplasty (I hope, else the poor man is liable to suffer permanent quadriplegia) leads me to believe that the sets purchased for this book were discovered in a bargain bin.
If this were an honest book, devoted to meaningful positive sexual exploration, then it would have covered much more and much fuller territory. That it did not is further evidence that it is a book written around a photo set rather than a photo set shot around a book. If you want a more unique and genuine sexual exploration experience, I heartily suggest that you play Twister naked. Or Wii Fit. Or Monopoly. I feel it's only fair to state, however, that '365 Sex Positions' is not entirely worthless; it's perfectly good for a laugh, and is an excellent tool for setting your adolescent son up with a teen-normal set of sexual disinformation.
This was fun and I appreciated the diversity!! There were lots of typos in the book though, it drove me slightly insane! I don’t mind as much though because I don’t see this as some revolutionary work of literature. It’s a book about sex positions, but it could definitely benefit by going through a round or two of edits.
