"An honest, uninhibited, brave exploration of those intimate moments when we are most vulnerable, most powerful, most bestial, most human... A book to savor!" -Lynda Pinto Torres

"...a tour de force... mythical G-spot of poetry." -Barbra Nightingale, author of Alphalexia

"Sally Naylor's Synapse Flies into Startle: The Orgasm Book is a rap, a hoot, a song; it's the Fourth of July of lovemaking..." -Lenny DellaRocca
