How To Be A Bush Pilot: A Field Guide To Getting Luckier
Listen. We know you're getting lucky. This is about getting luckier—getting more. Lots more.
More making out. More lip service to your man parts. More ohmygodImgonnacome. More.
How?
Tucked between these covers are the secrets of babes brought to you by a babe herself. Imagine it. You are only pages away from having your name scrawled in lipstick across bathroom mirrors. From catching her friends staring reverently at you. From becoming the man Hef calls for advice.
It’s simple. Remember that time when you were doing that thing and she said, "Do that thing again" and you said, "Let's take it to eleven"? Instructions enclosed. Or that time you thought to yourself, "What is she thinking?" Answered. And the g-spot? Chapter 14. Your million-dollar point? Revealed. And, most importantly, what the babe on the other end of the couch or the bar really wants? Declassified. Finally.
So, what's it gonna be? Robin or Batman? Gilligan or The Professor? Man or legend?
Choose legend. Get luckier. Be a Bush Pilot.

As anyone can tell you, there aren't enough Os in "smooth" to describe me. Plus, y'know, I don't really spend much time seducing women...
However! This book is very funny, so definitely a worthwhile read, even if it is, as noted, for dudes, about getting better at getting jiggy with the ladies. :)
One drawback I will note is that while the euphemisms are a good part of the humour, at times she uses so many of them that I lost track of what equipment she was all referring to... and I own most of that equipment.
Also: pretty sure it's the only sex book in Christendom that references Mennonite farmers. For reals, yo.

July 26, 2011A better subtitle would have been how to stay lucky. There's no advice here on how to find a girlfriend but plenty of advice to keep her coming back. Now to find someone to use the advice on .....
The author did try to hard to be funny or cute which made the initial chapters tiresome but it was well worth reading through to the end.

January 31, 2011I haven't read this but I really enjoyed the review! It is, I think, written to let men know what women like vis-a-vis sex/making love, with the information provided by women. And, of course, it's also to let women know what other women have managed to incorporate into their lives.

I'm not sure how to rate this one, since I am so thoroughly not the target audience. A fun read, nonetheless.
