Meet Gin Hetrick, lifestyle and relationship coach, author and lifestyle columnist for several years now. She wrote an interesting article about being a single male wanting to join the lifestyle which I will include below. In this article she also mentions her new book, “In the swing of things” which is for some strange reason actually not currently available on her website as claimed. When you visit the Gins Opinion website, be prepared for amateur looking pages created sometime in the heyday of Internet site making of the late 90’s. The section ‘My thoughts’ is well worth the visit as it contains some good content but when you visit the ‘my books’ section, there is actually only one book available for sale: How to prepare for the lifestyle. I searched in vain for other sites selling this book, for reviews and nothing could be found which suggests sales have probably been non-existent considering the high price tag. Finally, a visit the the links page has dead links and banners and the copyright notice dates back at least 3 years ago. As usual, a great idea gone by the way-side…it’s too bad so many great minds give up on their projects and let them become stale.

When you call your book ‘The Penis Diet‘, you are bound to attract a bunch of skeptics wondering what kind of snake oil you are pushing. When I first fell upon this title, I laughed a little and kept reading to see how wacky this story would get. To my surprise, it turns out that the title is the only wacky part of this book…but hey, a catchy title it is! Look, as a male swinger you may experience times when your buddy can’t perform no matter how bad you want him to. Viagra, Cialis and all the other spam messages aside, how then, do you take care of that Erectile Dysfunction (there I said it), but not become a pill popper? Co-authored by Damon Z. Cozamanis and Marc D. Grobman, The Penis Diet book could be just what you didn’t know you were looking for. The Earth Times, has a press release that you can read (purchase it cheaper than listed in the press release…click here).

The idea of seriously researching this topic by immersing yourself for an entire year, having many partners and then writing a novel about it is just fantastic! You can purchase the book here or even here, but first go read Well swung: A guide to British swingers which gives you a quick introduction into author Ewan Morrison’s year long journey. You can read some great reviews for Swung on the author’s website (it’s towards the bottom of the page) as well as reading this review which is quite complete and should give you a good idea of what the book is about.

It took a while to go through this npr story which includes many audio snippets as well as a discussion on the topic of vice. It’s well worth the bookmark for later reading if you don’t have the time right now. There is a sample chapter included and of course swingers are featured to my delight. Any promotion of the lifestyle is good news in our book and this book (pun intended) seems to put across similar values as we have as far as swinging and the lifestyle is concerned. You can purchase the book from Amazon and while you are there, take a look at over a dozen reviews for the book, and only one of which is not favorable. You can also peek inside the book while there as this one has been scanned for a free preview! Find another review here by Harriet Klausner who is a real bookworm. Should be a great read as Peter Sagal is a radio host and book author, the book itself is a hard cover 272 pages long and I don’t know if it will see the light of day as an ebook anytime soon?

What is really great about this book is how easy it is to read, well organized, full of great tips and best of all lots of common sense advice. It covers all types of swinging from couple swapping to threesomes and even getting into some role play or a bit a pain play…whatever your fetish is, the lifestyle wants you! Even if you have been in the lifestyle for a bit, you would still be hard pressed to find a better lifestyle 101 guide. It’s true what they say, the men get women into the lifestyle, but it’s the women who keep them in! Guys, don’t fudge your chances or getting her interested, learn to do it the right way with Adrienne Taylor and her Swinger Girls. 

If only I had a copy of this book 15 years ago it would have saved me a good decade of begging, pleading, and resorting to constant childlike behaviors such as resorting to making deals in order to get my way. Getting your wife or girlfriend to become a swinger is available in paperback ($49 USD) or eBook ($20 USD) format from the authors website. If you prefer to make your purchase from a big-box, you can also find it @ Amazon where there is also 1 customer review available.
