Synopsis

'There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food and the mere suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionally. When the affection is the entertainment, we no longer call it dating.' Miss Manners

In Not Tonight, Mr Right, Kate Taylor teaches modern women how, why and when not to have sex. OK, it doesn't sound very liberated, but it is very empowering . . . well, it's mainly just hilarious, but does make a lot of sense too.

Quiz: How Much Do You Need This Book?1. Have you ever had sex when, looking back, a simple 'Thanks for dinner' or 'I'm sorry I forgot your birthday' would have sufficed?2. Have you ever tried to win back a bored boyfriend with a complicated technique called something like 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Hard-On'? 3. Have you ever had sex with someone you weren't that keen on, but still felt irrationally annoyed when they didn't call you again afterwards?4. Have you ever wished you knew the perfect moment to shag?

From the Back Cover

Not Tonight, Mr Right is a wake-up call for any woman who has
ever woken up the Morning After and thought, "Oops." In laugh-out-loud
detail, bestselling sex author Kate Taylor explains:

* How Oxytocin - the Fatal Attraction hormone - can make women up to ten
times more emotionally attached after sex than men

* Why men never expect to get lucky on the third date, or any date, and the
longer he's waited to have sex with you, the better he'll think you are in
bed

* How women NEVER look for no-strings sex, no matter what we tell
ourselves

* That relationships are more fun, easier and longer-lasting when you keep
your feet on the ground, instead of hooking them round his neck

* That the time to have sex isn't when you think he might slip away - it's
when you know he never will.

This hilarious handbook will help you know, with confidence, when the time
is absolutely perfect to say 'Yes! Tonight, Mr Right'.
