Passionista: The Empowered Woman's Guide to Pleasuring a Man

Transform Yourself from "Passion Victim" to Passionista!

In the smash hit She Comes First, Ian Kerner singlehandedly waged battle against male sexual "ill-cliteracy," and women everywhere benefited from his "viva la vulva" philosophy of female pleasure. Now, in Passionista, it's time to learn all about what turns men on and makes them stay on. In this point-by-point, "blow-by-blow" sex guide for women, Kerner makes giving as much fun as receiving as he covers every angle of male sexuality, unlocks the secrets of satisfaction, and offers knowledgeable answers to the questions every woman wonders about. His advice is the closest you'll ever come to waking up in a guy's skin and knowing what truly makes him sexually tick.

Written in the same witty, insightful, and utterly readable voice that has made She Comes First and Be Honest so popular, Passionista is the empowered woman's guide to mastering male pleasure and enjoying sex to the fullest.

This witty, insightful, and utterly readable book reveals the knowledgeable answers to the questions every woman wonders about:

• Male Orgasm: Go beyond the basics to understand what truly makes him tick, including the difference between a ‘local’ and ‘global’ orgasm.
• Sexual Communication: Learn how to talk about fantasies and desires in a way that builds excitement and intimacy, not anxiety.
• Erotic Creativity: Move past routine with the author’s ‘shaky bridge’ approach to sex, offering point-by-point advice on keeping passion alive for the long term.
• Fellatio and Manual Stimulation: Discover the hands-on (and hands-off) techniques that make giving as much fun as receiving.
• Building Desire: Unlock the brain chemistry of attraction and learn how to turn him on long before you get to the bedroom.
