Sex Guides
Look for a sex guide that you'll feel comfortable with. There are quite a few comprehensive books about all the highways and byways of human sexuality, but each takes a distinctive approach or tone to the material. The Guide to Getting it On, for instance, is casual and irreverent, but not as slick or hip as The Big Bang, which is also a fun read. The "Good Vibrations" guides are all outstanding, and tend to provide a lot of background and context for their discussions of technique.
Erotica
Choosing erotica is also a matter of deciding on subject matter and tone. Many of the books or erotica we carry are written by and for women—which doesn't mean that they are all roses and soft kisses, but that they tend to steer clear of certain erotic stereotypes and cliches that make so much erotica seem all the same.
Our online selection foregrounds anthologies of erotic writing, which has the advantage of variety. Check out any of the "Best of" series for a selection of the year's hottest texts. Of course we sell erotica of many shades of sensuality, including couples-oriented romantic tales with plot and characters and nasty, kinky short stories with a lot of action.
