Im with Steven on that, because there's always the subjective factor of how high the libido and wish to try things and new ways of playing in a person is.
What's if $_book's only "achievement" is to drag something out of taboo into open discussion?
When both parts come to conclusion "always wanted to try out but never knew if I'd alienate you with the idea?" then you can hardly speak about influence because the wishes predate the book.
But even putting this aside. What's wrong with books widening someones perspective on a topic?
Should it be wrong just because the topic is sexuality? Why should be a book teaching values of honor, honesty etc. be "good" but one showing how to better enjoy ones own and the partners sexual actions and how to deliver more intensive sexual enjoyment to said partner be "evil"? I truly hope it's not the intended goal. Ignorance and misinformation about sexual matters has already created a lot of pain in the past.
E.g. people were told by self-proclaimed "sexperts" that disabled, minors or women (in historically reverse chronological order) have no own sexuality at all. They have been told that plethora of natural behaviour is "ill" "bad" or "unhealthy". All this with disastrous consequences to mental health or plain well-being of them.
Sexuality is an integral part of us. Keeping people dumbed down about it certainly doesn't no good to them.
