Publisher: Grand Central Publishing

A collection of highly explicit sexual fantasies for audacious couples.

Without inhibitions, Steffans begins by reminding readers that “a man will either marry the woman who will fulfill all his sexual fantasies or cheat on his wife with her.” This bold statement lingers as she goes on to share blunt sexual scenarios coupled with advice often bordering on dicey and irresponsible. She juxtaposes what could go awry with each fantasy, further adulterating any excitement. When guiding readers through the creation of an escort fantasy, the author suggests the woman might become upset by insensitive exchanges that could occur during the act. To remedy this, she suggests the woman go out and spend the money that was part of the prop in retaliation. “He accused you of being a whore. You may as well take the payday that comes along with it,” she writes. At times, Steffans’ anecdotes can be quite amusing, but, sadly, this isn't her intention. Each chapter includes how-to advice with Vixen Tips, such as those that append the chapter on swinging, which advise that it might not be a good sexual fit for partners if one of them is “a germaphobe.” There is scarce mention of how to protect against STDs, a rather irresponsible approach to sex from someone who preaches the gospel of enlightened sexuality. Proves that reality usually trumps fantasy.
