Paperback. Condizione: Good. Any single or married woman can find success in the pursuit of love, marriage, and happiness with these sensible, sexy, realistic tips from Py Kim Conant, who used them to find her own American husband. More practical than politically correct, her advice covers every aspect of landing and keeping a man. Developing Geisha Consciousness, she says, helps maximize a woman's femininity. The author invites readers to become a Younger Sister, a geisha-in-training, and then proceeds into the four parts of this lively, provocative book: getting started as an American Geisha; sex secrets to bond him to you; planning for marriage; and keeping the marriage fresh and sexy. She suggests specific strategies for women including creating a bedroom shrine of worship to hubby's manhood; learning to express femininity and sexuality; identifying and then dating their Good Man. An afterword on Geisha Power, a glossary of terms, recommended reading, and resources help readers expand the experience.…
