What an amazing book! The author empowers us not only with knowledge, but also the tools to achieve Eroticism. She's very intelligent and her thoughts are organized in a very followable way. Ultimately, sex must harmonize commitment and playfulness, through Eroticism. Do it right (physically and mentally), and you transcend.
