I'm sure it doesn't apply to you but that sounds like it was written by someone who never really had sex all that often. "The Joy of Sex" became so popular (in an era in which sex was widely seen as a leisure pursuit and before the scares over HIV) because many people actually did need to be told what to do. It concentrated on the emotional as well as the physical aspects.
Poor analogy time: owning a car does not make you an instinctive driver, suggesting you just keep taking it round the block until you figure it out is the kind of thing that only a non-driver would say.
GP's point is that the best advice on how to please someone comes from that person, no book can give complete insight into the way their body works.
To torture your analogy some more, imagine a car capable of explaining to you how to drive/maintain it perfectly. Like a less whiny KITT. Would it not make sense to ask the car rather than to pore over generic car manuals?
