The Sensuous Man by “M” (Dell, 1971)
This doozy is really a find. Not only for the orgiastic, “Hey, baby, wanna see the inside of my van?” advice given by the mysterious “M” (who continuously refers to himself as a capital-S, capital-M Sensuous Man). Oh no. The book is a treasure for the underlined passages by some hapless previous owner. After awhile, I felt like I knew far too much about this poor bastard.
Then there’s the Sensuous Dirty Old Man by Isaac Asimov…
laugh all you want. This book was one of the most influential of my young life. I read it and then had (hetro)sex for the first time. It was because of this essential read, i did not have one of those ‘horrible first encounter’ tales to tell. Infact, my first time lasted all day into the evening and the entire weekend. To this day, i am not ‘goal oriented’ (going for the 30secod orgasm), i am not concentrated on the satisfaction of the ‘other,’ my partner and i STILL don’t bother to have sex unless I have the weekend free. THE SENSUOUS MALE by M is a must read by boys of any age- hetro or homo- and it is totally weird how the book had fallen into a ripe obscurity while Xavier Hollanders ‘Sensual WOMAN’ is still a best seller. All that book was was Penthouse forum soft core…
This book is fantastic. My friend gave it to me some years ago. In truthfulness, she was a funny lady and I’m not sure if she gave it to me in seriousness or not. One of my favorite moments is advice on how to lie about having a yacht with the goal of getting a woman into bed.
this is what every man wants his wife to give him. read the whole chapter, F-wad, you suck in bed.
