She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman by Ian Kerner
4.0
Almost unbearably cringey at times, but edifying enough to justify 4 stars from me.
Kerner does a good job of explaining anatomy and establishing a convincing purpose for this book, but I really could have done without all the references to philosophers and playwrights (and other things I learned about in school that I blocked out of my mind). Maybe this is his attempt to appeal to the "thinking man", but it feels like a gimmick and the material is much better off without it: it comes off as pretentious, in a oh look at me and my vast knowledge of the arts kind of way, and almost never contributes to the actual content. He also presents his méthode as an end-all-be-all, when I'm sure in reality it's just one of very many ways to achieve the goals he outlines.
That being said, when you strip away all the chaff, there's a lot of information in this book that's fairly easy to digest. I learned a lot from this book and wish I had come across it earlier, and I suspect many others may feel the same way.
(I originally picked up this book along with two others: Becoming Cliterate and Come As You Are, but I need a break before diving back in.)
