This book is, at best, interesting. As with most astrology books, its content needs to be taken with a grain of salt unless you know more about the individual persons chart. The sexual turn ons sections were interesting, and had most of mine listed. but then there were other things in there that didn't describe me at all. And a lot of the people I have talked to who were of different signs didn't agree with what the book had to say. So, again, it comes down to getting to know the individual person and not just traits of their zodiac sun sign. It also uses Greek mythology as a basis for its comparisons. So if you don't now too much about it, then you might be confused. Luckily i wasn't put off by that. Its a FUN book to read, but nothing in it is concrete.

Let me first say that only about 10% of this book covers the topic of sex, so the title is not all together accurate. I'm sure it was a marketing ploy because we all know sex sells! Yeah, baby! Not to say this book is not as engaging as the title would have you believe. I could not put it down, and believe me, there is a *lot* to get through until you hit the juicy parts. The writing is very, very detailed, with lots of sidebars and tangents that are very colorful and descriptive (and accurate!). This book was so deeply insightful for me in particular. In reading about my sun sign, I felt as though the authors had sampled my psyche like so much DNA, put it in a centrifuge, isolated the components, and written in stunningly accurate detail about each one. It nailed my mother, my father, me in high school, how I dress, how I show (or don't show) my feelings, how I see my life, etc. It was a little unnerving to be such a predictable character, but it also reassured that I am as self-aware as I had imagined. There was one of the things about sex I don't agree with, not that they were wrong but they didn't go into as much detail about it as they did the psyche. I won't spoil it but the thing they said I wouldn't submit to, well for the most part I don't but that doesn't mean I don't like doing it to someone else! I agree with the other reviewer that recommended reading the rising sign. I'm going to read my rising and moon sign as well.

Great fun if you are into astrology, and its not ALL about sex. Probably one of the more accurate books I've read on signs. Enjoy~

Yup, I have a few astrology books out there - including one coming out July 2008 called "LOVE IS IN THE STARS - Wicked and Uncensored Advice for Getting the (Almost) Perfect Guy"... but, ah, no - this is not blatant PR. Quite the opposite: I'm stating my credentials for conceding and lotsa-star recommending ;) that this must be a polished addition to any collection (married or single). Truth is, I simply couldn't help myself: I had to write a shining, rave review of Sextrology. And no, I don't personally know the authors. What I do know is this.. Astrology books these days cover the surface - these authors go in deep and get it right. It's not often I expound poetic - there are only a handful of astrologers I truly think have got the goods - but I craved this down to every page. They did a fabulous, entertaining, masterful job. So well done. And you should own it. Bravo to both.
