Refreshing & Exciting

Ducky's book is a refreshing, exciting, humorous, non-judgemental and straight forward approach to answering sex questions people think about, talk about with friends and don't talk about...she even covers questions we never thought to ask. This book has shed light in my personal life but also helped me in counseling my patients on issues of sex and sexuality. I love that Ducky stresses clear communication with your partner, that sex is not just what happens when we are naked, but that even eye contact and cooking together leads to the bonds that help us feel safe with our sexual partner. I also love that she counsels women to loveand embrace thier body type no matter what they look like. And as an author, Chinese Medicine & Healthy Weight Management, I admire her ability to write with such clarity, organization and personality! Don't Miss This Book!

BEST SEX BOOK EVER!

I love this book! It is so fun and easy to read, like the author is just speaking to the reader conversationally. The book has lots of tidbits and facts and hints I didn't know, it's very useful! I especially loved the chapter on foreplay, with suggestions of leaving the clothes on for an extra ten minutes to see how excited you can get each other, the chapter on body image with the top fourteen things that make a person sexy from a poll of over 500 people, the emphasis on creativity and the sexiest organ--the brain! Ducky sounds super sex positive and I believe this book would benefit anyone, any gender, any type, any age. It is inspiring and made me feel good about myself and sex.

Brilliant! Humble and Hilarious!

Ducky has succeeded in writing gently about a sensitive topic. Her tone is genuine and light while imparting information that can help people feel more comfortable with themselves and those they love. I would buy a copy for everyone I know!

DooLittle Does it Right

Ducky DooLittle has done the world of advice books a mitzvah. "Sex with the Lights On : 200 Illuminating Sex Questions Answered" is compassionate, plainspoken and unabashed in its detailing pretty much every aspect of human sexuality. The conversational tenor of DooLittle's writing lends "Sex with the Lights On" a light and breezy tone, personal and open-minded; serious but not sterile. It's commonsensical advice dispensed from the sexually sage friend you wish you had at your disposal. And now you do.

The Essential Toolbox

Absolutely fearless, unshielded by lab coat or clipboard, with a warm humor that feels like advice from the family's coolest aunt. You can not read a hundred pages without learning five things about sex that you never thought about before. If just a little bit of the attitude wrapped up in this book rubs off, you'll be a more relaxed and confident human being and how can that be a bad thing?
