More Praise for She Comes First:
 
"Boy, do I have a book recommendation for you and your boyfriend. It's called She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman, and although it's written by a dude (Ian Kerner), you can tell from the title whose life is going to be the most rocked by its coital
teachings."
  —Time Out New York - Read full article
 
"Every man's must-read. Tell your guy to put down the remote and pick up She Comes First."
  Cosmopolitan
 
"You've all heard about 'lunch at the Y.' Well this book will make it a feeding frenzy."
—Sue Johanson, host of Oxygen's Talk Sex
"She Comes First should be required reading for all men who are dating and all women who are wondering why they're not satisfied. A practical, friendly, well-written guide for men who want to give better orgasms and the women who will be lining up to love them."
—Cindy Chupack, writer/executive producer of Sex and the City and author of The Between Boyfriends Book
"Perhaps it's time we paid more than lip service to the idea of true sexual liberation, and perhaps She Comes First is just the sort of talking point we need to get us started."
The Guardian, UK Read full article
"…A sprightly treatise on cunnilingus, which has been successful enough to spawn a sequel, He Comes Next…women are the primary consumers of the new manuals, which, like She Comes First, emphasize their enjoyment."
The New York Times Read full article
"I always wished I could school a lover about going 'down there.' Now my new challenge is how to casually toss this book around in my bedroom to be discovered 'by accident' by a partner. Kerner even schooled me on my own body parts (with insightful illustrations), displaying exactly how the professional lovers rocked my world so much. It all makes sense after this good read. And no cheesy feather games either but, instead, real hardcore tips and techniques. He's the only male writer who actually says it like it is. Take note, guys. This book is your secret weapon."
—Jauretsi Saizarbitoria, Jane Magazine
"This book has an incredible amount of detailed, useful information about pleasuring women.  I kind of knew I was doing everything wrong, but now I know why. Thanks Ian!"
  —Joel Stein, Time Magazine
"Armed with a doctorate in clinical sexology, Kerner has devoted his life to the study and practice of good sex—there are few men that wouldn't benefit from the female-centric philosophy and techniques that Kerner advocates."
  Salon.com Read the interview
"She Comes First has taken America by storm and if you listen really hard on nights with a full moon you can hear the sound of tongues lapping and women crying from happiness."
  Suicide Girls.com Read the interview
"These days, Ian Kerner seems to have it all: he's a successful, happily married author and self-proclaimed "evangelist of the female orgasm", whose new book, She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman, is getting rave reviews in the US, and has got the whole country talking."
  The UK Independent, Read full article
"Men, while still lame, can no longer hide behind the old excuse of ignorance when it comes to pleasuring a woman—the facts are all here in this complete guide."

 

—Dr. Drew Pinsky, Loveline
 

"In a town where everyone wants go down in history remembered for something, Ian Kerner wants to go down as the champion of going down."

  —New York Magazine - Read full article
 

"She Comes First is quite simply the best guide to oral sex out there."

  —AskMen.com - Read full review
 
"She Comes First aims to redefine sex in terms of the female orgasm-and will undoubtedly earn a standing ovation from women across the country. The title's playful double entendre says it all-a kind of new-school sexual etiquette that views the female orgasm as vital, not optional, and unabashedly advocates oral sex as the best means of achieving it. Kerner approaches this taboo topic with intelligence, sensitivity and singular wit."

 

Body & Soul Magazine
"Women will be putty in your hands if you read this book!"

 

—Anka Radakovich, sex columnist/author
of The Wild Girl's Club
"An entire book written strictly for the pleasure of women by a man. Hallelujah! Our fantasies have been realized!"
—Playgirl Magazine
"In the never-ending search for material that does a female body good, here comes a book that puts men in their places - smack dab in between women's legs!"
—Cake Read full review
"Reading this book takes some of the mystery out of the astounding statistic that 41% of women have low sexual desire. Duh! Could it just maybe have a little something to do with their less-than-skilled, less-than-caring lovers? This well-written, hands-on, fluff-free book puts the 'big-penis-big-orgasm' theory to rest once and for all, and offers men the tools they need to have their partners coming back for more. No man or woman should be without it."
  —Michele Weiner-Davis, M.S.W., author of
The Sex-Starved Marriage
 
"At the heart of She Comes First is a deep sense of understanding, respect and concern for female sexuality. In an age when we are increasingly turning to the pharmaceutical industry to fix our sex lives, Kerner offers us an inspiring, drug-free vision of how to achieve sexual contentment. This book will not only change how you have sex but, it will change how you think about sex."
—Dr. William Granzig, Ph.D., FAACS, Chancellor-Dean
American Academy of Clinical Sexologists
"An excellent guide for any guy willing to take the dive for his woman. As a matter of fact, it's inspired me to write my own book, tentatively entitled 'And I Better Come Next.'"
—Marty Beckerman Author, Generation S.L.U.T
 
"She Comes First should be required reading for men. Kerner's humorous yet practical guide to going down has the power to improve sex lives around the country, one lick at a time."
  —Jaime Sarrio, Women's Health & Fitness Magazine
 
"She Comes First is Kerner's attempt to seed a new sexual revolution, one with a focus on female sexual entitlement. In 47 short chapters with titles like 'The Cunnilinguist Manifesto' and 'Think Outside Her Box,' the book seeks to be the first mass-market philosophical, cultural, and scientific guide to the clitoris. (And make no mistake, it's all about the clitoris.)"
  The Morning News read the interview
 

"Dispelling the widely held myth of genital penetration as the apogee of sexual pleasure, Kerner, who holds a doctorate in clinical sexology, offers this witty, well-researched manual for "consistently leading women to orgasm" through cunnilingus. Loaded with practical anatomical information (the clitoris has 18 distinct parts, and more nerve fibers than any other part of the human body) and graphic line drawings, the book also touches on the less mechanical, more psychological aspects of oral sex, including the three assurances every woman needs from her lover to feel comfortable: (1) "you enjoy it as much as she does"; (2) "there's no rush"; and (3) "Her scent is provocative, her taste powerful: it all emanates from the same beautiful essence." Since studies show the average woman takes about 20 minutes to reach her first orgasm during a typical sex session, while men take a mere four minutes, Kerner advises men to delay their own climax and make oral sex "coreplay" ("the substantive phase in which sexual tension builds, culminates and then releases itself through the female orgasm"), instead of foreplay. Breaking down six stages of coreplay, from the "first kiss" to orgasm, Kerner speaks to both beginners and more seasoned lovers. His candor concerning his own bout with sexual dysfunction adds a compassionate tone and credibility to this decidedly pro-female methodology."

  Publishers Weekly
 

"You could get a degree in female sexual response by the time you're done reading this highly informative book!"

  Femme Fatales Magazine
 

"Via the collaborative feminist blog, Feministing, I discovered a new book that may do more to improve heterosexual women's sex lives than The Hite Report and The Myth of Vaginal Orgasm combined: Ian Kerner's She Comes First."

  Back to The Kitchen
 

"You'll find an incredible attention to detail as Kerner waxes poetic on the beauty of female anatomy and sexuality…this is a very good book, and I appreciated Kerner's willingness to share his very personal experiences with others. Would that all men were so enthusiastic about going down."
