What Women Really Want in Bed: The Surprising Secrets Women Wish Men Knew about Sex »

Cynthia W. Gentry is the author of The Bedside Orgasm Book and co-author of Red Hot Tantra: Erotic Secrets of Red Tantra. Her husband, Nima Badiey, is an enthusiastic participant in her book research. They live in the San Francisco Bay area.

Women of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life reveal frank, no-holds-barred truths about what turns them on, what men don’t get about sex, and what they wish men got about sex in a unique survey conducted by author Cynthia Gentry.

Men will discover exactly what their wives or girlfriends want them to know about foreplay, masturbation, sexual positions, orgasm, and getting them into the mood—and into the bedroom. An insider’s guide to women’s sexual psyche, this different look at sex debunks myths about what women find seductive, where men “blow” it sexually, and why women will opt to snuggle up with a good book rather than torch the sheets with their lover.

What Women Really Want in Bed is a man’s guide to giving her the sex she wants—so he can get the sex he wants.

Cynthia W. Gentry is an award-winning writer, screenwriter and journalist.
