Self-development journey
Self-development journey rated it 8 years ago
Lets talk about sex, said Paulo Coelho and bravely dug into the subject in his simple, beautiful, and unassuming way. None tell us why 11 minutes is so important when we are kids. Why we can not move this short period of unconsciousness into a beautiful bliss of 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours love making. ...

Coelho somehow always manages to write a book about a man disguised as a book about a woman. This one is a very good exception, but still not a very good book. Literary speaking, of course.

True expressions of love and lust! It dares to defines precisely, the true 13 minutes, along with each stage of sexual intercourse. Highly recommended for the virgins, and best for those who have lost their love life, in the rate race of trains, trams, tubes!
