I am married to a real conservative wife. We do not drink, own toys or watch porn. I am not complaining, but I wanted to give a little background. Anyhow, while recently going through our local Barnes and Noble looking for gifts we stumbled upon the old classic, "The Joys of Sex".

My wife surprised me when she said that she would be open to a book like that. I have read that the book is a bit dated and wondered if you had any suggestions for us?

Thanks.
 
You might check out an illustrated Kama Sutra- Barnes and Noble carries lots of them. There's also another book I've seen there, but I can't remember the name of it, but it's got an envelope for everyday. Each envelope contains an "adventure", not neccessarily sexual, but some are romantic too. There's also a lot of videos and board games for couples, let me know if you're interested! Have fun!

101 nights of Grrreat sex, or 101 nights of Grrreat Romance. They are by Laura Corn. I've never read them but heard really good things about them. She has some other stuff, like coupn books and such. Here's a link to her stuff on Amazon.

Say if your wife is interested in something like that, why not direct her here? ;)
 
Race, as far as I know The Joy Of Sex has been updated including all the illustrations, I bought a small edition recently - I loved this book many years ago and love it now. It's got a very warm non threatening tone about it. Why not start with an updated edition of it and then move on to others perhaps a little more adventurous. When we started with books a good few years back I liked The Anne Summers Guide To Wild Sex and Loving - we'd take it to be bed, have a look through, chat about pictures we liked and sort of ended up using it like a kind of a menu!
 
She said she's ready for this book - then GET this book and count yourself lucky :nana: . Maybe later she'll be ready for more: if you don't screw up this opportunity.

Sheesh you guys make it sound like a woman wanting to explore her sexuality with her husband is some rarely seen mythical beast. I'll give you a hint, with a few rare exceptions, if you actually talk to your wife about sex, eventually she's gonna be comfortable to start opening up.

The real problem is that once you get her to the point where she is comfortable opening up wiht you, you better be able to keep up! It's gonna be a wild ride!!! :cool:
 
kahuna: think about the demographics of this site for a second, and i think it'll all fall into place, dude. :>

So much for that. Bought it, read a few chapters, presented it to my wife this morning in hopes of trying to start fixing a non-existant sex life, and she looked at me like I had three heads, exclaiming "What's this?" Then off to work she went.

I guess, based on that response, there is nothing wrong with the marriage after all and I should be pleased. :confused:

As a wise man once said, "Now take my wife.....please."

I just wanted to add that sometimes, it's the male half of the couple that needs to be encouraged to explore their sexuality. I am proud of the male half of my marriage for being such a good sport and indulging his wife's "willd side" from time to time.


*No, Yank, I am not following you around like a pesky little sister. It only looks that way. ;) *

I agree that's true. Gender really has no bearing on how adventursome a person is sexually. I guess that's what I was trying to say. It's not like women aren't adventuresome in their own right, or that all married women are frigid and boring.

We're not?!?!

Damn, I should have read the handbook! ;)
 
Oh yeah, you're about as frigid as my wife!

I recall once comapring her to a slice of pizza fresh out of the oven. Hot and steamy and mouth watering. You know it's too hot to eat, but you also know how good it is, and you just can't wait until it cools.

Her response was "Be careful, don't burn your tongue." :p

Holy crap TBK, I'm going to make you pay for my dry cleaning bill here!

Comparing your wife to a pizza??? I hope you didn't say to her; "Honey, is that an anchovy or did you just forget to shave this morning?" :D

Would it make more sense if I said I was running a pizza franchise at the time?

Besides, after 11 years of marriage you are aways trying to come up with new ways to compliment each other. Some hit the mark, some, well, some just serve as fodder for a future comedy routine. Which ones hit and which miss, you never know, but I do know I got laid that night. :D

Good! Now tell him to hang on tight, grit his teeth and don't screw it up! That's how I've survived a decade of marriage! :D
