The dick ain’t doing shit (relatively speaking) when it comes to women’s pleasure. This book really takes the wind out of guys sails and the ego out of the thing our culture has always made us believe sex is about, reestablishing what really matters.
Not only does it have tons of information rooted in anatomy, medical research, and history, but it also just has good general advice on all aspects of sex and romance. As someone whose always strived to learn and be a better partner in every sense of the word, I still felt like I got so much out of this. Once you can check all that baggage you’ve brought at the door, this book is a great resource. I hope the rest of the men in my life give this a read too.

Based on the writing quality, I would have given it a 1. But I think the writing style--very 5-paragraph-essay form (each chapter!) is meant to reinforce the complicated ideas in the content. Imagine a coach telling you what to do (and what not to do) and the exceptions and the rules and the interesting facts that help round out your understanding and guide your practice for oral and manual stimulation. It's a lot of information, and I imagine a lot of people would prefer to read and then practice, not do both at the same time. So Kerner's approach of consolidating each new tidbit is probably helpful for the reader, and I imagine was designed for that purpose.
Based on the content, I would have given it a 3: I haven't read any other non-fiction sex books, but this one has a goal (teaching the reader about women's pleasure and how to facilitate orgasms) and achieves that goal. Kerner does this in what I'd say is a feminist way--as in, he never objectifies women, never treats this as a 'get laid quick' guide, and his motivation for writing this book is in his own experience with premature ejaculation drastically shortening would could otherwise be an enjoyable sexual experience.
Despite being a book about cunnilingus, Kerner does slant the reading for men, per the title, but briefly acknowledges the information would be handy for anyone curious on the subject-- women who go down on women, etc. Again, this seems to be based on some common problems in cishet couples (guy comes and falls asleep, lady has no orgasm) that the author has observed in his own life and in others' and motivated him in writing to try to bridge those in fulfilling ways for such couples.
Biggest flaw: not enough focus on safer sex. He talks about it, he addresses some concerns with dental dams and gives recommendations. But I want a longer revision, describing the same amount and type of detail for what ought to be the default: safer cunnilingus.

This book can as well be called Gentleman's Guide to Female Orgasm. Loved it. Reading is just one half of the battle, internalising and applying is the other half.
