More educational than the movie Kinsey and naughtier fun than TV's Desperate Housewives, Dr. Sprinkle's Spectacular Sex is Viagra for the brain. Through a brilliant series of do-it-yourself exercises, Dr. Annie Sprinkle, international champion of sexual empowerment, helps readers uncover their hidden desires and chart a path towards a more fulfilling sex life.

Has your sex life become too much effort, too mechanical, too predictable, too goal-driven? Dr. Sprinkle's Spectacular Sex: Make Over Your Love Life with One of the World's Great Sex Experts, provides creative solutions to sex life challenges in an enlightening, supportive and spectacularly fun "make over" program.

One of the most prominent personalities in the world of sex, Annie Sprinkle is a former adult movie star and ongoing performance artist, sex life coach, and certified sexologist. In this book, Dr. Sprinkle advises readers on how to take charge of their sex lives, generously sharing the wisdom she has gleaned from her firsthand experiences with thousands of men and women.

Drawing from a wide variety of sexual techniques from the Kama Sutra to Kegels, Dr. Sprinkle's Spectacular Sex reveals a brand of sex that goes far beyond the missionary position. Whether you're a sexual amateur or a veteran looking for variety, Dr. Sprinkle's Spectacular Sex is an easy-to-read roadmap to a sexual makeover as dramatic or as subtle as you wish.

No need to be discouraged if you have body image or self-esteem issues. Even Dr. Sprinkle wasn't always the sexual dynamo she is today. In Spectacular Sex, she candidly recounts her difficult journey from timid young Ellen Steinberg to Dr. Sprinkle, international activist for a more sex-positive universe. Sensitive to readers' mental blocks and issues to better sex-including negative thinking, scarring childhood experiences, and lack of a truly constructive sex education-Dr. Sprinkle conducts her makeover process from the inside out. Only after she's addressed healing the interior person does Dr. Sprinkle turn her attention to helping the exterior person dress up . . . and then undress.
