Customer Reviews

Fun AND Informative book!!

I bought this book for my sister-in-law as a gift for her personal bridal shower. She LOVED it!! I paged through the book a little before giving it to her and I thought it was great as well. Full of fun trivia, great information and tips, and bright and colorful photography. The layout is really nice - modern and eye-catching! As for the content, I learned things just from the little that I read as I was skimming through it! I would HIGHLY recommend this for anyone who wants to learn about the different sex toys out there (Who knew there were SOOO many?!) - expecially women, since this book really does strive to make women feel comfortable and welcome in the world of pleasure enhancers that has previously been somewhat intimidating to the fairer sex. Thanks to the authors, artists, and editors that made this book so fun - both to read and to look at! :)

Colorful and well-written

On one hand this is a product manual hyping what "Toys in Babeland" sells but it is also a great example of sexual information made fun and readily available. The photographs are excellent and well laid out so the book is pleasing visually. The information is well-written and well-researched with opinions back by experience and facts. Contrary to the store's name, there is not just toys and information for women. There are also nice little stories about how the store has affected people's lives, both customers and workers. I just wish the resource list was longer.

Best Sex Toy Guide Ever

I have been a customer of Toys in Babeland for many years and I was so thrilled to hear the owners had written a book. I was even happier to get a copy of Sex Toys 101 and see all of their knowledge put to print - all the amazing tips and techniques that they have been teaching women (myself included!) in their stores for years are packing in there. It's a beautiful book, full of colorful images, and packed full of quality information. I have read every sex guide I could get my hands on and I have to say, this is the best sex toy guide ever.

Sex Toys 101 Is Awesome

Not only is this book absolutely beautiful, it's full of great information, too. I keep mine out as a coffee table book and it's sure to generate interesting conversations! I love the photos of sex toys and the authors' explanations of what they are and how they work. Plus, I've learned a lot from the chapter on anatomy. Another cool thing about Sex Toys 101 is that it really is for anyone, whether you sleep with men, women or both. I highly recommend it.

Comprehensive, and beautiful!

This is a one of a kind as far as toy guides are concerned! As a educator, I was pleasantly surprised by the authors knowledge of the various types of these toys, as well as some of the myths that tend to accompany them, both good and bad. Full color photographs on every page do a great job of making the these toys look practical (yet juicy!) guidelines for using, as well as caring for, these toys abounds! This book is definitely for women and men of all orientations and backgrounds.
