Best Sex Books for Men in 2024

Books are often overlooked as a resource in this day and age, with the internet being such a huge factor in all of our lives. This is unfortunate since books can often be more reliable than the internet when it comes to finding advice, especially when it comes to subjects like sex.

The internet is a wonderful place, but given that literally, anyone can post anything they want, it can't always compete with the research and knowledge that can be found in the best books. Additionally, most books that have been available for at least a couple of years will have plenty of reviews that can help you work out whether they're worth obtaining.

We've put together this list of some of the sex books we believe to be the best and most helpful for men who are looking to make some improvements to their sex lives.

The only problem is, sometimes it can be difficult to know where to look, and what exactly to look for when it comes to finding books. Unless you're in a physical bookstore, you can't always flick through the pages to ensure it's what you want, and even then, you can't guarantee you'll find the whole book useful.

The books on this list cover a mixture of topics, all of which we consider to be relevant to modern men from all walks of life

The books on this list cover a mixture of topics, all of which we consider to be relevant to modern men from all walks of life - so we're sure you'll come across something that'll suit your needs!

The New Male Sexuality

Best for: Men wanting a more fulfilling sex life!

The New Male Sexcuality Book Cover


An absolute classic from the nineties, The New Male Sexuality, Revised Edition sets out to answer both men's and women's "most urgent questions" regarding the titular topic.

This self-help sensation continues to assist men to this day by providing 20 years worth of insight from the author - a psychologist whose specialty was human sexuality - and other similar experts.

It's thoughtful, it's witty, and it keeps things realistic, all of which contributed to making it a book that has been improving sex lives for decades.

It's thoughtful, it's witty, and it keeps things realistic, all of which contributed to making it a book that has been improving sex lives for decades - and will likely continue to do so for many more!

About the author

Dr. Bernie Zilbergeld (1939 - 2002) received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of California (UC) Berkeley, before going on to become the head of the Men's Program, as well as the co-director of clinical training at the Human Sexuality Program, at UC San Francisco. It's safe to say that Zilbergeld definitely knew his stuff, and poured his expertise into multiple best-sellers about the sexuality of men, many of which challenged common misconceptions surrounding the topic while also being incredible self-help resources.

Why is it good?

In his own words, Zilbergeld's works explore assumptions including those such as ''a man always wants and is always ready to have sex,'' ''sex equals intercourse,'' and ''good sex requires orgasm,'' all of which are still wrongfully held by men today. The New Male Sexuality, Revised Edition is the most up-to-date version of his original Male Sexuality (1978), and as such is the ultimate guide for men of all ages, helping them come to terms with and understand their sexual desires, and get the most out of their sex lives.

She Comes First Book Cover

Aiming to properly satisfy a woman is a noble goal. The only problem is that a lot of men are, as this book's author **puts it, "ill-cliterate."She Comes First zeroes in on and provides a comprehensive guide to the clitoris, focusing on how it's really the key player when it comes to female sexuality and pleasure.

She Comes First  provides a comprehensive guide to the clitoris, focusing on how it's really the key player when it comes to female sexuality and pleasure.

There are even reviews for the book by women, stating that it helped them learn new things about their own bodies, which speaks for itself. If you're serious about showing a special woman an incredible time, Kerner has you covered with his "cool sense of humor and obsessive desire to inform," as stated by The New York Times.

About the author

Dr. Ian Kerner is a psychotherapist and sex counselor whose work has been featured in publications such as The Atlantic, The Economist, and The New York Times, all of which often quote him as an expert. He received postgraduate certification, and remains on the faculty teaching sex therapy courses, at ICP's Psychotherapy Center for Gender and Sexuality, and the Family and Couples Treatment divisions.

That's all when he's not busy being a member of numerous associations including the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and the Society for Sex Therapy & Research or writing New York Times best-selling books (She Comes First being just one of them) which contain high-quality advice for individuals and couples alike.

Why is it good?

She Comes First encourages men to think less about intercourse, and more about using their "hands and mouths, bodies and minds" to truly satisfy both themselves and the women they're interested in pleasuring. This also helps free men of common penis-related worries about performance, size, and stamina. Once you understand the true potential of everything at your disposal, you begin to feel much more confident about sex in general!

The Penis Book

Best for: Men who are interested in learning more about their penises!

The Penis Book Cover

If you've got a penis, you're probably well acquainted with it. But are you sure you're treating it right? The Penis Book poses this question to men before tackling it head-on, answering just about any other question you might have about your own penis - or anyone else's for that matter - along the way. It covers every base from anatomy and blood flow to sexually transmitted infections, and even to penis care, exercises, and maintenance - nothing is off the table here and men (and their penises) are all the healthier for it.

About the author

Dr. Aaron Spitz - AKA "America's favorite penis doctor" - is a urologist specializing in male reproductive medicine and male sexual health. Over his 21 years of experience as a urologist, Dr. Spitz has performed a wide range of procedures such as vasectomies, microsurgical vasectomy reversal, and even non-surgical treatments for Peyronie's disease, and is considered an expert on male hormone replacement and sexual dysfunction.

He was presented with the Distinguished Service Award by the American Urological Association in 2020 for his years of excellent service to the American Medical Association - and those are just a couple of the associations he's a highly regarded member of. As you can imagine, all this work and experience results in The Penis Book being filled to the brim with scientific tips that are beneficial to every man!

Dr. Spitz was kind enough to send us a quote about the book:

"The Penis book is intended to help men and women understand how the penis works, how to keep it healthy, and what to do when it’not"

Why is it good?

Gaining a better understanding of your penis and everything about it is always worthwhile, especially when considering that many men find it difficult to discuss their private thoughts and concerns related to their members.

The Penis Book is a brilliant, medically, and scientifically accurate resource for all things concerning the penis, and it's clear and funny to boot.

If you've ever had a question about your penis, or feel like you could in the future, this is the book that will get it answered.

About the author

Esther Perel is a trained psychodynamic psychotherapist who has worked with both couples and families, and was also a clinical instructor at the New York University School of Medicine for 13 years. Perel's beliefs that the expectation of marriage and long-term relationships have taken on "epic proportions" have led to her advocating for discussions surrounding monogamy to take on a much more candid and truthful form, in order to bridge the aforementioned gap between domesticity and eroticism - which has informed her writing.
