She gives advice on attending orgies, including how to avoid advances from lesbians. Finally, she discusses how to open your heart to love and contentment.

The book was a best seller and remained popular for years because its frankness about sex was rare in books from its era. The author had "thought about the unthinkable," according to the New York Times, by attempting to demystify sex in an era when sex was normally hinted at indirectly. Some readers were very angry about the book. Garrity was besieged with demands for details of her personal life. Her mental health suffered because of the fame of the book and hostile reactions to it. It was among the six books chosen by career columnist Penelope Trunk for her list of "best books," as published in the September 21, 2007 edition of The Week magazine.

The album Music for Sensuous Lovers by "Z", released by Mort Garson in 1971, is a quote from the book's title.
