Product Description
Sextrology draws insight from modern astrology to help people find their perfect sexual matches. This book takes an original, smart and sexy approach to evaluating astrological identities, and will again have people asking, 'What's your sign?'. In sophisticated, uninhibited language, Sextrology accomplishes what no existing astrology book has ever achieved: it candidly explores sexual relationships from an astrological perspective without insulting the reader with new-age mumbo jumbo or sugary advice for capturing a mate. Sextrology uncovers the naked truth of all possible cosmic couplings with candour, imaginations, and a wry sense of humour. It focuses on the 24 sex signs, pointing out the difference between men and women of each sign, their particular sexual psychology and behaviour, secret desires, and even physical attributes. Both straight and gay sex are explored for each sex sign, while desires, turn-offs, fantasies, and foibles are investigated in titillating detail. No stone is left unturned in this provocative, highly entertaining look at the sexes and sexual relationships.

 Misleading title October 6, 2008
Let me first say that only about 10% of this book covers the topic of sex, so the title is not all together accurate. I'm sure it was a marketing ploy because we all know sex sells! Yeah, baby! Not to say this book is not as engaging as the title would have you believe. I could not put it down, and believe me, there is a *lot* to get through until you hit the juicy parts. The writing is very, very detailed, with lots of sidebars and tangents that are very colorful and descriptive (and accurate!). This book was so deeply insightful for me in particular. In reading about my sun sign, I felt as though the authors had sampled my psyche like so much DNA, put it in a centrifuge, isolated the components, and written in stunningly accurate detail about each one. It nailed my mother, my father, me in high school, how I dress, how I show (or don't show) my feelings, how I see my life, etc. It was a little unnerving to be such a predictable character, but it also reassured that I am as self-aware as I had imagined. There was one of the things about sex I don't agree with, not that they were wrong but they didn't go into as much detail about it as they did the psyche. I won't spoil it but the thing they said I wouldn't submit to, well for the most part I don't but that doesn't mean I don't like doing it to someone else! I agree with the other reviewer that recommended reading the rising sign. I'm going to read my rising and moon sign as well.
Fun book July 30, 2008
Great fun if you are into astrology, and its not ALL about sex. Probably one of the more accurate books I've read on signs. Enjoy~
Damnit, so good! Many astrology books skate on thin (superficial) ice... this breaks new ground. May 31, 2008
Yup, I have a few astrology books out there - including one coming out July 2008 called "LOVE IS IN THE STARS - Wicked and Uncensored Advice for Getting the (Almost) Perfect Guy"... but, ah, no - this is not blatant PR. Quite the opposite: I'm stating my credentials for conceding and lotsa-star recommending ;) that this must be a polished addition to any collection (married or single). Truth is, I simply couldn't help myself: I had to write a shining, rave review of Sextrology. And no, I don't personally know the authors. What I do know is this.. Astrology books these days cover the surface - these authors go in deep and get it right. It's not often I expound poetic - there are only a handful of astrologers I truly think have got the goods - but I craved this down to every page. They did a fabulous, entertaining, masterful job. So well done. And you should own it. Bravo to both.
 funny February 21, 2008
I got a kick out of this book. It's pretty funny. Even more fun to read out loud with Co-workers.
Take it for what it's worth... January 24, 2008
A fun read! No, there aren't twelve personality types or astrological archetypes and, yes, there are many other factors at play in a birth chart. I've read other astrology books (I have Linda Goodman's classic "Love Signs" too, an oldie but goody), but this one is not just about sex and really goes into detail about the psyche. I don't agree with everything in it, but I did find some startling revelations about my sign. I think it may have saved me a few sessions of therapy. Worth checking out, even just for fun. And I love the suggestive cover.
