"Sex is a bit like typing," explains Australian sex writer Tracey Cox in
Hot Sex. "You can get by using two fingers, but you'll never be as good as someone who did the secretarial course and practiced every night." Cox provides the "secretarial course," starting with 27 pages on masturbation and continuing through variations and nuances of every sex act a man and woman might do together. You get explicit lessons in erotic massage, oral sex, intercourse positions (including "orgasm potential for her" and "how to make it even better"), and much more. Equal time is given to men and women, with the sections labeled for quick reference.
This book is ideal for the sexual novice (it includes a first-timer's guide), or for someone who hasn't felt confident enough to experiment. Sexually experienced readers will learn how to understand themselves and their partners better, such as how to make your orgasm last 1,790 times longer, and how to find the A-spot (halfway between the cervix and the G-spot). The writing style is lively, sexy, and often funny, with comments such as, "People on soap operas have simultaneous orgasms more often than they eat breakfast but it's a little different in the real world," and earthy advice like, "Go for it. Make so much noise, your neighbours consider double-glazing their windows." --Joan Price

From Library Journal
Cox is a popular provider of sex advice in Australia. Her how-to is an enthusiastic, slangy, and comprehensive guide primarily for twenty- and thirtysomething heterosexuals. The sections on foreplay, intercourse, oral sex, contraception, and STDs are outstanding, and much of the rest of the book is direct and on target. Unfortunately, Hot Sex is marred by occasional bad editing and sloppiness, notably in a dictionary with grossly inadequate definitions. There are unpredictable shifts in point of view and some incomplete or confusing descriptions of body parts and techniques. Australianisms like STI instead of STD are not translated. A few illustrations and a short bibliography or resource list would also have helped. These shortcomings do not seriously compromise the books value for large collections, but smaller libraries can stick with Sari Lockers Mindblowing Sex in the Real World (HarperPerennial, 1995; Sex Texts Come out of the Closet, LJ 10/1/97, p. 5356.) for the same age group.Martha Cornog, Philadelphia
