Anne Hooper's Ultimate Sex Guide is a DK title that brings the wisdom of sex-counsellor and marriage guidance expert Anne Hooper to CD-ROM. It is designed for people seeking to improve their sexual experience, whether in a new or established relationship. Laid out like a book, it is built around four main themes: questionnaires, case studies, "sexopedia" and programs. The questionnaires and programmes work together to individualise Hooper's expertise. Like the software itself, the questionnaires are password-protected, to ensure the user's privacy, but also to ensure that those for whom the adult content is inappropriate can't access it. Well-designed and easy to use, this software uses explicit live video clips to demonstrate sexual positions, with categories from Exotic Sex to Advanced Positions, as well as animated clips to explain essential items of sexual health, contraception and pregnancy.

and lots of snippets of text, there is a lot of information in here, and quite a lot of depth and ideas for experimentation, as well as factual advice on disease, adolescence and bodily functions. Hooper also explores the psychological side, such as repression, fears, expression and developing self-confidence. This CD is well-organised, with a main menu which is always accessible, and on which you can access the video library, A-Z index, Your Case File and related topics. In look, feel and content, it is exactly like a DK printed manual, but the multimedia content is well integrated, and really does provide excellent add-on value. The content is firmly aimed at heterosexual couples, and as a shared tool to use and read together, it should prove valuable particularly for those who are new to a relationship, or seeking to further intimacy in an established one, or just wanting to know more about sex.--J Collins
