Sexational Secrets: Erotic Advice Your Mother Never Told You

Susan Crain Bakos is perhaps our most intrepid sex journalist. In Sexational Secrets: Exotic Advice Your Mother Never Told You, she visits seminars (from a women's ""erotic reading group"" to a workshop promising ""spontaneous orgasms"") and interviews sexperts (gigolos, courtesans, even a Bombay sexologist). The result is a mix of entertainingly voyeuristic reportage, sex manual and sensuous hints from a much hornier Heloise. (St. Martin's, $22.95 ISBN 0-312-14413-X)
