HOLY S*hitcakes!!! My Jaw is on the Floor!! (And that ain’t easy)

I am FREAKING OUT!!!

I’m so excited my heart is going to burst, my face is going to fall off and I’m likely going to pee myself!! Woo hoo!! 🙂

Check out this book review by professional book reviewer Joey Pinkney. It’s in the Arts and Entertainment section of the website The Examiner! I’m so friggin’ excited I’m going to implode!!!

“Man is a simple animal, indeed. Everything that he wants or needs is procured through hunting and gathering. But what about one of the things that he is hardwired to need the most: sex? For sex, the path of least resistance usually intersects with legal issues, to say the least.

Men, how do you get more sex out of the woman you love? Easy: make sure feel loved and comfortable. The challenge for a man becomes being able to do the things a woman needs as opposed to what a man thinks his woman needs. There is a distinct difference.

Enter Jodi Ambrose to the rescue with the open dialogue within Sex: How to Get More of It. It’s not a predator’s handbook on how to snag his latest “conquest”. Instead, it maps out the hows and the whys a man needs to understand in order to learn the nuances of the give and go of compromise with his female companion. This book is essentially the layman’s guide to the psychology of women.

Coming in at a brisk 30 pages, Sex: How to Get More of It is a quick read that is chock full of easy-to-understand information. Ambrose writes in a relaxed voice. She’s not afraid to drop a curse word here or there to spice her witty banter. Don’t let the wit and humor fool you, Ambrose really lets the male reader inside the inner-workings of a successful relationship with women in general.

The format of Sex: How to Get More of It is simple. After an intro to get you ready for the tone and language that will shortly follow, Ambrose gives you “The List”. This syllabus is the guide by which the rest of the handbook is based. Some are common sense, some are sappy and others might make most men cringe. But they all make sense one way or another, and that’s what make this book pure genius. Ambrose says in a few words what a psychologist would need a thesis to discuss.

What did I like about this book? The brevity. The sensibility. For instance, Ambrose lets it be known that there are some instances that it’s ok, and even pertinent, that you lie to keep a level of sanity in the relationship. (Q: “Does this [clothing item] make me look fat?” A: “No.”) I really like Ambrose’s conversational style. If you are easily offended by “adult” language, read Sex: How to Get More of It anyway because of the solid information.

In the genre of relationship books that come off as stuffy and detached, Ambrose brings a flare and panache along with common sense to give a man in need a hand indeed. If you are a man that wants to know a little more about how to “grease the wheel”, so to speak, this is a perfect book to reference now and again. In reading Sex: How to Get More of It, you begin to realize that it’s not about how to gain more sex. Jodi Ambrose points out how to get your woman to feel more comfortable and more secure in your relationship.” –Joey Pinkney

I know it shows me in my old red-headed disguise, but I don’t care!! I’m going to pass out. Yup…floor, here I come! 🙂

    • Oh my God, you are soooooo awesome and sweet and kick ass!!! Thank you, my dear!!! You just put the icing on my cake. 🙂 THANK YOU!!! I also cracked up with that very same line in the review. “read it anyway.” LOVE THAT!!! You know, I always value real people reviews so much, but I have to say that it really is nice to also have another “official” review out there. This has been a happy Wednesday! 🙂 Thanks again for the nod. 🙂 You are such a doll.

      • You are welcome 🙂 Glad Wednesday was good for you .

        Having a proper review and it being on the main page, is awesome. I might just have to get your books on the off chance that I do randomly meet someone (although means going out for more reasons than to meet my sister lol)

        • Yeah, it was so freaking cool. I was stunned. And you will SO TOTALLY meet (what am I? A Valley Girl??) the right chick! One that is not a raging sociopath. 😉 If you do get them, let me know what you think. Really, only one of them is for boys. Boys aren’t allowed to read the Intimacy book as it gives away all of our Girl Secrets. Only the sex book for the guys! 😉

          • Hahaha. Intimate thinking for girls, and sex for the lads? LOL. I have a friend who “sees” things, and she said she saw me with someone who I hadn’t seen in a few years who I would be happy with. Although usually if I haven’t seen them, it’s because I have managed to p*ss them off. LOL

            Hope Thursday is being just as good as Wednesday was 🙂

            • Oh yeah, I’m horribly sexist. 😉 KIDDING!!! 🙂

              Ooohhh…friends who see things are good. I hope she’s right!! Sometimes an ex-pissed-off-friend can be the best newly reinstated friend as they know what they are getting (and so do you) right off the bat.

              So far, Thursday has been wonderfully mellow. 🙂 Have a good one too!! 🙂

        hehe. Is this the normal thing that people splatter on Facebook or Twitter? LOL. Although both of them are deactivated at the moment so pointless. Will let you know what I think when I have read it 😀 May even do a review myself.

    • Thank you!!! And you are so cute. Sometimes you call me Jodi. Sometimes you call me Kristen. I answer to just about anything, so no worries. It just reminds me of the kind of thing I would do too. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful day, my dear! 🙂

  17. Congrats 🙂

    So does it work better to Read it or just let my date beat me over the head with it till I learn how to act right?

    Personally I would prefer reading it, but most of the women I date are a little more “proactive” about “housebreaking their boyfriends” … ( my ex fiances term not mine )
