Synopsis

A funny, realistic book on sex for men by FHM’s sex columnist.

Grub Smith’s column is compulsory reading in Britain’s biggest selling magazine. His style is exactly right – the amused detachment, the invitation to share his experiences and inadequacies, the fun and the adventures.

The style will transfer to the book, and the content is completely new. It will take a man from first approach to final success.

Grub Smith discusses, with many examples drawn from famous people as well as his own experiments, how to find and give the greatest pleasure for the man, and the woman: lists the varieties of the kiss, and presents an authoritative guide on the best positions, the most interesting places, and the way to avoid problems.

About this title

Review:

Sex. It's got three letters, makes for a hatful of points at Scrabble and it's a total mystery to most of the male population of Britain.

Men of the new Millennium need to know more about the act of "doing it" than can be learned in the snug of the "Frog and Calculator" and that's where this book on the subject comes in very handy.

Covering everything from foreplay to fetishism, Real Sex approaches the job in hand in a highly entertaining yet thoroughly informative fashion, giving very real advice and insights into the wide world of sex without being condescending, judgmental or just plain seedy.

Its secret to success is in its humorous take on the subject matter, rather than adopting the kind of rigid, scientific approach of previous "educational" volumes, like the Joy(less) of Sex, author Grub Smith hits the ground with a few well chosen one-liners and races through almost 200 pages without letting the pace slip.

It's a very laddish read, the language is strong enough to make your mother blush and it's packed to the hilt with pictures of people in the nude practising a variety of positions to give you a feel for the subject matter. However, as pictures speak a thousand words it's a real winner in the style department (so to speak).

Take any of the elements in abstract and it's either a sex manual, a crude joke book about sex or 200 pages of "naughty" pictures but add them together and what's left is a highly informative book which successfully manages to makes it point, educate and entertain. Every home should have one. --Chris Russell

From the Back Cover:

“All the love making instruction manuals I found placed an undue emphasis on the romance of sex rather than the actual mechanics. Whereas what I – and thousands of men – wanted was detailed know how on how to solve our sexual anxieties with no pulled punches. So that’s why I wrote 'Real Sex'.

It is for anyone who wants to understand how to be better in bed on a purely physical level. (And I have personally tested everything that is described here.)

It will make you a better, more capable, more adventurous lover.”
