A consultant for the British TV hit Sex Tips for Girls
, the London-based Everett offers a blunt, sassy guide full of (what else?) sex tips. The title characterization may be apt for the effects of her person, but in her manner, Everett is supportive and down to earth: "Having sex in water is largely overrated—it just ends up with everyone suffering from stinging eyes, and all the natural lubrication is washed away in a torrent of apricot gel." Chapters cover Foreplay; Positions; Orgasm; Sex Toys; Adventurous Sex and three other realms, all road tested by "real couples." A lot of the book is geared toward working people who normally "stagger to bed so tired you're lucky if you can pick up a book, let alone each other's genitals." Many readers will recognize themselves in that description and respond to Everett's been-there, done-that straight talk. (Jan.)
