Amazon.com Review
Sex is good medicine according to Felice Dunas, who specializes in Chinese acupuncture and the health benefits of erotic love. In Passion Play Dunas explain how fantastic sex can bolster one's immune system, strengthen internal organs, and secure emotional wellbeing. Using traditional Chinese medicine, Dunas offers specific sexual prescriptions for common Western ailments, such as how to strengthen overtaxed kidneys, how to shift erotic gears once a baby arrives, or how to fire up an emotionally distant relationship. Dunas's poetic approach (she uses musical and ancient Chinese metaphors throughout) along with her extensive understanding of the issues and fears that inhibit contemporary sexual relationships makes Passion Play a gem in the sea of sex manuals.

 Passion Play
The books content is straight forward and to the point unlike other books that "sugar coat" definitions, etc. I enjoyed learning about the Ancient Chinese.

A Book About Sex and Passion for Both Partners
Felice Dunas has written a book that starts off with health, historical and cultural perspectives on love, sex and relationships and then progesses through to very detailed observations and ideas for enhanced contemporary sexuality. It combines age old ideas with common sense and will allow you and your partner to rediscover yourselves. She explains the benefits of monogamy and makes you look forward to exploring what an enduring, trusting relationship can really offer. It is a book that maturely treats many sexual taboos that would make your mother blush (or worse) and makes them accessible. The topics are presented in such a way that it allows couples to consider practises that they would not normally allow themselves. If you are thinking about it, you should be getting it.

Highly recommended for every lover and would-be lover.
I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. It would have saved me years of confusion. I would have understood the male and female bodies -- their nuances, differerences, modes of response, etc. -- in a deeper, more profound way. The book promises to turn sex from a pastime to an art form, and it delivers on that promise. It also turns sex from a means of pleasure to an instrument of transformation, for each individual and for relationships. That, I think, is its greatest strength. Any couple who takes this book to heart will find their lovemaking -- and as a result, their health and well-being -- taken to a new level. I expect to be referring to this book for decades to come, as it seems to contain a large supply of new and exciting treasures to be discovered.
