I wish to extend my appreciation to:

My literary agent, Bill Gladstone at Waterside Productions, and Ming Russell, with appreciation for their commitment to this project and for their excellent representation;

Jack Jennings, Robert Friedman, Sara Sgarlat, Jane Hagaman, Tania Seymour, Matt Genson, and the rest of the fine staff at Hampton Roads Publishing Company for daring to publish this very different astrology book;

Faye Mandell for introducing me to Bill Gladstone;

Jason Marzini of Exposure #1 for the fine photography he did of Robert Lamb's paintings and sculptures;

Judy Ammerman, Claire Bracaglia, Patricia Cohen, Susan Epstein, Jan Grant, Ariela McCaffrey, Helene Scheff, and Linda Sheally for reading and providing feedback on the material;

Jeff Gellman of MIKO Exoticwear for getting me started in the distribution of the Sex Survey, and to Options of Rhode Island for promoting that questionnaire; and

Jakob for occupying himself and letting Gram work.

A special debt of gratitude is due to the hundreds of men and women who gave of their time to complete the sex questionnaires that form the basis for this book.

WHAT'S INSIDE THIS BOOK?

Sex and lots of it.

More than 1,200 men and women completed a sex survey that provided the information presented in this book. Quotes from hundreds of these people have been included. Their explicit comments and generous contributions made it possible to write this very different kind of astrology book. Firsthand, learn what your lover likes, dislikes, wants, and fantasizes about in the world of sex.

Throughout the book, I have listed the questions asked on the sex survey and my summary answers that explain the astrological connection. Beneath my comments, in most cases, are quotations taken directly from the questionnaires.

Here's an example from the Aries chapter:

WHAT ATTRACTS YOU TO SOMEONE?

Aries always responds to a man's energy. Vitality goes a long way to compensate if a man isn't really her type physically.

I am attracted by energy, personality, humor. Physical attributes aren't extremely important. Personality and a pleasant disposition and behavior outweigh looks.

A man's smile, energy, behavior, plus the ability to dance. Height matters as I want a man who's a bit taller than I am, and I don't want him to be fat. Penis size never really counts. I want to know if he can snuggle and whether he likes himself.

and Sun Sign, and those of your lover or anyone else you might want to check out. When you turn to that chapter, feel free to open to any page and read whatever parts interest you. The way this book is laid out, in question-and-answer format, there is no need to read any chapter from beginning to end. Most pages have short vignettes, set off with a sun or moon symbol. These are the sexual fantasies and memories that hundreds of men and women wrote on their questionnaires.
