~Introduction~

This. Book. Is. Too. CUTE! Oh my gosh, I really can't stop laughing at this little book. It's so jam-packed with little cookie puns and icing! It's also genre crossing-- it's a friendly and gentle way of suggesting new sexual positions, while not being too serious about it. It's not exclusively a gag gift, but it does have a very funny edge to it. Its not very descriptive about some of the more advanced positions, but most of the ginger bread cookies are very easy to follow, more so than some of the crazy diagrams I've seen from Cosmo and other sex demonstrations.

~The Cookies~

I saw this book after looking into some sutra positioning books, and this one caught my eye especially. For ten dollars, I wasn't expecting more than a good laugh and maybe a few positions I could understand, but really, this book has fully exceeded my expectations. Each cookie, page by page, is different in some manner, with the kind of delicate craft of a cookie artisan. They are simple and charming, with open or closed eyes, wide happy mouths and delicate close smiles, even one had a little bloop of icing drool. I thought it was VERY creative and made the images enjoyable to look at. The sex these cookies are having looks enjoyable and fun without feeling like I'm a peeping tom or pervert watching someone else have sex. This book is good for those who may feel strange or uncomfortable talking about sex or looking at people going at it.

~The Positions~

The book comes in four color-coded sections: Getting Ready; Postures I; Posture II; and Posture III. The positions, for the most part, are more difficult as you go on, but there's no particular rhyme or reason how they are structured in each section. They are not in alphabetical order, but each position stays as true to the original name from the Karma Sutra as possible (at least, those from the Karma Sutra), so with a little time, you can cross reference positions to another book or online source (hint: most of these positions have online tutorials if you get stuck in batter and confused).

Most of these positions are ones that you will have heard of, so the book can serve as a quick reference guide if you get lost. Don't loose your place, however, as there is no index. You will simply have to flip through to find something if you forget. This can be annoying, but considering how small the book is, you could easily manage to memorize the book.

~The Text~

The text is nothing but cookie puns. So many lovely cookie puns. If you're confused about a position, do not expect any help from the text. If it is not about a cookie pun, it is a tiny blurb about what the position may feel like to you or what it aims to accomplish, but really, it's a lot of jokes and puns. Lots. It was seriously enjoyable to read them all, and it really reminds you what sex needs: humor. If you take yourself too seriously, you can get upset if something really sexy doesn't work out the way you want it to.

This book really inspires me to think about the delightfulness of being with another person, that the spice of life is variation and a good cookie pun or five. You need to learn to detach sometime and really just love things for the goofy way that they are. For ten dollars, this is the greatest and cheapest lesson you'll get.

At a first quick look through, I discovered that I have performed most of these sex positions already and then-- I found one that I always wanted to try. I've showed the partner how to go about it, and we were very very very pleased with the results, so I tip my hat to this book for giving me something a little new to bring to the bed.
