Guide to Getting It on

"You've never read a manual as warm, friendly, liberating, thorough, and potentially sex-life-changing as the Guide To Getting It On! Neither had anyone in our office―which may be why our copies keep disappearing." ― Oprah Magazine

"Finally. A book about sex you'll actually want to read!" ― Playboy

Few people had heard of Bumble and Hinge when the last edition of the "Guide to Getting It On" went to press four years ago. No one would have guessed that Chaturbate would become the 28th most popular website in the US, or that women in college would pay for their tuition by selling pics and panties on a website called OnlyFans. And good luck to any guy who calls a woman to ask her for a date instead of texting, because she'll probably think he's a stalker.

Anyone who says, "Why does a book on sex need a new edition?" needs to throw away their flip phone. Today's young adults are the first generation who began watching the most explicit porn in history on their phones in Middle School. They have very different expectations and needs from a book on sex, and those needs are changing as rapidly as technology is changing. There have been hundreds of studies done in the past four years on everything from female orgasms to how semen influences a woman's immune system to not kill sperm. You'll find it all in this new edition of The Guide. And the new chapter on consent will hopefully do a much better job of helping you understand what consent is and isn't than Title IX with its strange little slogans.

Proudly Announcing the 10th Edition of the GUIDE TO GETTING IT ON Few people had heard of Bumble and Hinge when the last edition of the "Guide To Getting It On" went to press four years ago. No one in their right mind would have guessed that Chaturbate would become the 28th most popular website in the US, or that women in college would pay for their tuition by selling pics on a website called OnlyFans. And good luck to any guy who calls a woman to ask her for a date instead of texting, because shell probably think hes a stalker. Anyone who says "Why would we need a new edition of a book on sex?" needs to throw away their flip phone and wake up. Each new edition of the "Guide to Getting It On" has risen to the challenge of helping young adults negotiate an ever changing landscape of sex and relationships, and the new 10th edition is no different. Todays young adults are the first generation who began watching the most explicit porn in history on their phones in Middle School. They have very different expectations and needs from a book on sex today than when the first edition of The Guide was published more than twenty-five years ago and was praised as one of the best books on sex ever written. At a time when YouTube has become the source of all wisdom, the 10th edition of the "Guide To Getting It On" remains the one book on sex that people still want to buy, read and share with a partner. And for readers who value videos, several chapters of the 10th edition have links to videos that were made to go with the book.
