I like to tell people that I was married back in the stone age - when parents didn't talk about sex (and you thought they never did it) and tv shows showed couples sleeping in two separate beds. In fact, my own parents slept in two separate beds (and based on things I've heard over the years - sleep is almost all they did too).

So I grew up not realizing that sex could be fun. When I got married in August of 1979, I learned that it could be fun - but I had no idea how to make it "better".

Over the years my husband and I have briefly looked at books but I was always turned off by them partly because of the pictures but partly because I just could not see us having sex in any of those positions. I mean - what was wrong with the missionary position - right?

Hmmm.

As many on Eden know, after 31 years of marriage, my husband and I discovered "sex toys" about 3 months ago and wow has our life changed. We've tried so many new things - including floggers and dildos and even a harness!

But I still wanted a bit of help in being creative, so I secretly ordered this book to share with my husband. I'm so glad now that I did.

This book appears to be designed mainly for heterosexual couples as the chapter titles are:

Woman on Top
Man on Top
Side by Side
Sitting Down
Standing
Sexplosion
Rear Entry
Anal Sex
Simultaneous Oral Sex Positions
Kama Sutra
Advanced Lovers Only

Each chapter has various positions with either a one page or two page spread. The layout is awesome because many times it will show the position along with describing how to do the position. For each position, the information given is:

How to do it:
What's right with it:
What's wrong with it:
Variations on the theme:

I was so shocked to realize that some positions we thought we'd dreamed up ourselves actually have names! We thought we'd been so creative and original. That is ok though - we'll still enjoy those positions even if others have used them.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like a little something to add some spice and creativity to their sex life. As we looked through the book, we realized that there were many positions in there that would not work for us due to our weight and/or body shape but we also found some that we want to try out now that we've seen how to do them.

WARNING: If you have children in the house, this book is full of explicit photos showing the various positions. You will most likely not want to open it in front of them and will want to have a hiding place for it.

I was shocked when my husband was looking through this book and pointed to a page called "The X-Factor" and said, "Do you remember this position?"

I looked at it and shook my head and was like, "Well, we may have done it years ago when we were smaller..." and he replied, "Yes and the first time you ever orgasmed was with this position."

Man - what a memory.

We're talking about trying to see if we can do that position again - even if it means losing weight!
