This book is about communication. It's about knowing yourself. It's about knowing your partner(s). It's also about seduction and foreplay, but approaches those topics from a perspective that is based on the first three. This isn't a book about manipulating people. It's about giving and receiving mutually consensual pleasure.
The book targets a broad audience. It generally focuses on activities that involve two people at a time (I'm sure one could adapt them though), but is very positive toward lifestyle, poly, kink, etc. — as long as its consensual. However, it does have a variety of tips that may come up more regularly in a longer term relationship, such as talking about how to manage your energy and time. One of my favorite points in the whole book was that it's important to differentiate between just not being in the mood and not being in the mood, but wanting to be in the mood. The second presents an opportunity to let oneself be seduced.
So given all the positives, why a 3/5? Mostly because large swathes of the book are techniques: techniques for seducing your partner mentally (desire them and let them know it in a variety of ways) and physically (touch early and often), as well as some very explicit foreplay techniques. All useful... but also a bit repetitive and tedious. So a lot of the content has more value as a reference material but can get a bit dry reading through. (To which the authors might reply: more lube! They're big fans of it, including beyond just the "standard" applications.)
Overall, for readers interested in the emotional as well as physical side of connection, seduction, and foreplay, it is a valuable resource.

Very entertaining , although the authors do take themselves and their topic a tad seriously- which is even more (unintentionally) entertaining. It also comes across like a gym challenge or a Phys Ed textbook at times. However, it’s easy to pick out the stuff you like - or would like to try. There’s a comprehensive gadget inventory for novices. The hints on seduction are, frankly, laughable -God know who they see as their target market in that section. Eliminating the padding would cut the page count by 50%, which would save a lot of skimming.
The authors are very PC, which seems at odds with their chosen field. They invariably defer to to woke pronouns, giving instructions on what to do to THEIR whatever bit, when saying HIS or HER is correct & reads better, while referring to a woman as “a person with a vulva” is simply ridiculous. These & similar cost a star.

Probably the best part of this book is the reflections and questions to ask yourself and your partner. Although there are some very specific tips and techniques I think that probably the ways to understand and communicate yourself and your partner in relation to sex is probably the most meaningful.

Lots of good suggestions for talking about sex, including insightful questions and fun examples of sexy talk. Especially appreciate their chapter on eroticizing daily interactions as a “seduction strategy” for busy people. Well put together and filled with ideas, and goes quite beyond what the title implies.
