Books

Kerner is the author of She Comes First: the Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman. Amy Sohn in the New York Times called this book "the Encyclopaedia Britannica of the clitoris," though Kerner himself refers to Strunk and White's "Elements of Style" as the model for making a subject not only meaningful and understandable, but also beautiful.[3] Sohn went on to say that "...with a cool sense of humor and an obsessive desire to inform, he encourages men through an act that many find mystifying." [4] She Comes First was selected by both Amazon.com and Borders as a "Best of 2004" non-fiction title and has been translated into numerous languages around the world. The companion book He Comes Next: the Thinking Woman's Guide to Pleasuring a Man was published in 2005. Kerner also wrote the New York Times bestseller Be Honest, You're Not That Into Him Either.
