(And You Thought Bad Girls Have All the Fun) - The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex

What I found so refreshing about this book is that it is direct, honest, and REAL. Gregoire writes in a candid way that gets to the heart of what does (or doesn't!) happen in the marital bed, and what we as wives can do to promote happy and healthy sex lives with our husbands. She does give a lot of specific information related to anatomy & positions & such, but never in a way that I felt was uncomfortable or inappropriate.

What I appreciated most is the reminder that there is "nothing new under the sun." Just because my husband and I face new or different trials in the bedroom, it doesn't mean we are weird or the only people in the world struggling. I found this book to be reaffirming and encouraging, and reminded me that with God and a little elbow grease nothing is impossible.

I've been married almost 2 years, and would have loved to have read a book like this before I was married. I would definitely recommend it to all brides to be...virgin or not. Gregoire presents something for everyone; you won't be disappointed!

This is a fantastic book. It really lends great insight into the minds of the men we love. It makes the reader stop to see where our guys are coming from and identifies ways we can use this information to better our relationships, mentally, emotionally and physically.

As a Christian counselor I encounter sexual issues a lot in my work with couples. This book is fantastic in that regard. Any Christian woman who struggles with sexual inhibitions in her marriage will find much freedom here. I cannot recommend this book enough!

Great book on marriage and how sex relates to and builds a marriage. I felt like I was reading some of my innermost thoughts and struggles and it made me feel normal, but inspired me to deal with my struggles in a healthier wAy that would build my marriage instead of wreck it.

This book was such a great addition to my library before I got married. I definitely had the stars in my eyes and this book helped bring me down to a more realistic level. This book reminded me that sex is intended to be between a man and a woman who have joined in a marriage covenant with God. This book delves deeply into the spritual and emotional aspects of sex. To include the needs and perspectives of men and women. The book also incorporates the physical aspects, but it is presented in a very modest and clean fashion. It includes how to please your husband while enjoying yourself at the same time. I am very happy to have this book and I hope other bride-to-bes will use it to ease their honeymoon jitters.

I appreciated Sheila's heart here--to help nervous Christian ladies enjoy sex in marriage--but found her good girl/bad girl" motif alienating. While she shares some good thoughts, I find the overall structure too focused on "do's and dont's". I get that this type of book is really hard to write, but after reading cover to cover, I think a good, heart-to-heart conversation with a mature woman would be more likely to serve a nervous bride.

This is an excellent book about Christian marriage and the great sex that can go along with it. All women should read this book, whether newly engaged or married thirty three years like I am. In fact even if you are just dating I would recommend this book because it gives great reasons for staying a virgin until your wedding night. The book is fun and not at all like other sex manuals. Sex is a gift from God in marriage.

Scandalized by the title?
Wondering if this is a book about positions?
You shouldn't be scandalized, and Gregoire does a wonderful job showing how sex within marriage is designed by God to be "fun" and to be a physical representation of our relationship with Him.
In marriage, the man and the woman do become one and sex is an extension of that intimacy. Sex is not a "dirty" word, and it is not a "dirty" act.
Thorough research and countless interviews helps support this statement.
And yes, she will take about positions.
It may make some blush; it may make some giggle.
This book is good for the married woman, the soon-to-be married woman, and the single woman.
Not a virgin? Don't worry. You can start with a clean slate.
Sex life within your marriage swirling down that drain of "ho-hum"/"nonexistent"? This book will help you realize how to start over and relight the fire, or in some cases light the fire.

I heard this author speak at a convention. She was really inspiring and really got me thinking. So I purchased this book and another from her at the convention! Very good content with biblical advice and leading. Great book!

I absolutely loved this book and have gained so much because i read it. It is well written, making it easy to read. The information contained on these pages is priceless; I honestly couldn't put it down because I was learning so much and seeing how to apply it in my everyday life. I gained a new perspective that has changed my view of sex within my marriage. Because I better understand the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of sex, my sex life has dramatically improved in multiple ways. This has without a doubt led to an improvement in my marriage overall.
I highly recommend this book to all women, especially Christian women that want to honor God and our husbands.
Some people might find this book a little "too much" as far as the descriptions of the anatomy. Personally, I think we all have those God created parts to help make us a whole person so we should be willing to learn about our own parts. I did not find anything to be "too much" but because of the nature of the topic, I believe some might.
Overall, a great book with so much to offer anyone that reads it.

I have struggled with understanding my husbands views on sex for years. We have a great marriage but our sex life has been very strained at times. This book has completely changed every view I have had about sex for the better. My marriage is better than it has ever been right now and I have to give this book a huge credit for that. I would recommend this to young or old male or female. Must read for everyone wanting a better marriage!!

I would recommended this book to young ladies that is getting married or who has already been married. I have been married for a year and half and this book has help me out so much. It really has changed the way I looked at things and how I feel about sex.

Without going into too much detail about my sex life with my husband, I will say this - Author Sheila Wray Gregoire is a true Godsend. If you had asked either my husband or me how to rate our life in the bedroom we would have both scored below a 5. As of today we are at an 8 and climbing! Biblical Wisdom meets real life application is what you get. I plan on getting this book for any young lady getting married or already married and possibly struggling. I also hope to use this resource for a small group. Truly a worth while read!

Not really thrilled with this book. I purchased it with the thought of giving it to my daughter but it has too much ulgy in it for a young Christian girl who has been raise right and her purity kept to have to be exposed to. There is some good information here and there but to have to wade through all of the garbage to get to it is not worth it.

VERY good book with excellent information. Would recommend this to all my friends and family! She is blunt without being crass or too detailed. She answered questions that I would have NEVER dared to ask my mother in a way that was truly helpful.

We love Sheila's presentation of the Christian perspective of what sex provides to a marriage. While not the ONLY important factor to a healthy marriage it is the ONLY aspect that God intends to be shared with ONLY that one other person. While this book is a great resource for someone about to get married or recently married, we enjoyed the book and we've been married over 40 years! Reading this book led us into some great discussions that we had not had for too long! We bought copies for our two married daughters and our daughter-in-law. Also bought copies to give away to our marriage small group members. Love this book!

I bought this after 8 years of marriage and loved it! Sheila does a beautiful job of talking about the whole relationship, not just the physical part. There are better books written if you need a detailed look at the anatomy and "how-to" aspects. But I think this one does the best job of talking about how every aspect of your marriage affects your sex life. I whole-heartedly recommend it!

This book was eye opening and so informative, with a Godly perspective on how God created sex and intimacy in a marriage to work! I will be reading this book again and again, till it becomes like second nature to me!!! Loved it!!

This book was definitely an answer to prayer!! I am an engaged woman in my twenties and every other book about sex was so black and white and still produced anxiety. While reading through this book I was able to understand why women have a difficult time relaxing and enjoying sex, but how to overcome that. This book puts the perspective of God's original design for this gift in marriage and reduced the validity that the culture of the world gives about sex. I highly recommend this book to any single, engaged or married woman. It helps reshape our views to celebrate this intimacy that God created in a pure and sacred way.
