ABOUT
RARE WISDOM FROM THE SUN TZU OF CARESSES
SLOW SEX SECRETS is the key to attaining sexual nirvana. Now in paperback, this succinct manual by Master Masseur Adam Tokunaga—who’s conducted intimate research with more than a thousand women—has enlightened millions to the wonders of mind-blowing sex.
Regardless of whether you’re a man or a woman, you’d like to think you’ve had good sex. Unfortunately for women, too many men regard sex as a sprint to the finish line of ejaculation. Learn about the plague of “junk sex” and how to avoid it; the essential role of time; the building of sexual ki or energy; and the Adam Touch, the amazing technique that drives women wild.
Whether you’re a woman who wants your partner to deliver unknown pleasures, or a man who wants to elicit squeals of delight from your partner, SLOW SEX SECRETS is a primer you should always keep by the bed.
ADAM TOKUNAGA received his massage license in L.A. in 1988 and returned to his native Japan to found the M&W Orgasm Research Institute. He set up the Adam Sex School in 2004. The author of numerous works, of which Slow Sex Secrets is the first to appear in English, Tokunaga is the most celebrated “sexpert” in Japan.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
