I'm Jay Wiseman, author of "Tricks...To Please A Man."

I must admit that, in a good way, this whole thing got a bit out of hand. Back in 1991, I had a realization that many of my lovers had "some little special thing" that they did which made our sex life just a little bit better. (I did a few such things as well.) The basic idea was that we already had a pretty good sex life, and these things would make our sex life just a little bit better. I named such things "Tricks." I started asking my friends if they would be willing to share some of their tricks, which they were (some all-too-eagerly), and very shortly thereafter a book called "Tricks! More Than 125 Ways To Make Good Sex Better" was born. It was a fun book to work on, it sold well, and I figured it would bring a little more pleasure and happiness into the world -- which it did.

What I didn't foresee was that people would then starting sending me even more tricks. In fairly short order, Greenery Press, my publisher, published "Tricks 2: Another 125 Ways To Make Good Sex Better," "Sex Toy Tricks: More Than 125 Ways To Accessorize Good Sex," and "Supermarket Tricks: More Than 125 Ways To Improvise Good Sex." They proved highly popular.

After a few years, we pulled them off the market, had our "panel of experts" -- which included sex therapists, sex workers, and numerous other knowledgeable men and women -- evaluate which ones were the best, re-sorted the Tricks by gender of the receiver, added dozens of fresh new Tricks, and soon thereafter Greenery Press published "Tricks...To Please A Woman." This was followed about a year later by "Tricks...To Please A Man." Again, these books have proven very popular.

For example, in "Tricks...to Please A Woman" we describe more than 125 ways to make her sex life just a bit more pleasurable. This more than a dozen ways to use your hands or mouth more pleasurably on her, at least half a dozen ways to make vaginal intercourse more satisfying, a number of Tricks for improving anal play, ways to increase the enjoyability of safer sex, little-known lubricant Tricks, more than two dozen Tricks regarding using sex toys and household items, a tour of what's for sale in an erotic boutique, some really excellent information about approaching erotic power play, numerous important things to know about women's bodies, plus sections on dealing with problems, cleaning toys, and resources for further exploration. Like "Tricks...to Please A Man," this book is a popular seller in erotic boutiques and other stores across the country.

Many people have bought this book (and my other books) as gift items -- for example, both of the "Tricks" books are popular gift items for bachelor/bachelorette parties.
