Sex

[Guest guest]

There's *absolutely* no substitute for a good Owner's Manual. For *anything* you do in life.It astonishes me: People will perform their "due diligence" when buying houses, cars, insurance, TVs, ...whatever! But they *refuse* to learn about their own bodies. SEX is fundamental to marriage. *Learning how to do it* -- NO GUESSING, no using the "truths" learned in high-school -- is the sine-qua-non of a good sexual relationship.The suggestion above is a fair start (make a list). But hie yourselves off to a good bookstore and buy a good _Sex Manual_ AND a good _Marriage Manual_. His and Hers versions (both!), if available. *Both* partners must read both of'em. A Very Good Thing after reading is to *ask each other* questions. And then *respect the answers*.Screwing's easy; anyone can do it. Good Sex requires an education.

I agree with Bill, read, read and read.. We can all use help in life skills. Sometimes it can even make a difference. People have been doing this for years. You don't have to have AS to benefit from knowledge in these areas. In my generation, the sex manual was Kama Sutra. Oils, lotions and positions. <wink> -or- there were books on what she or he liked in bed. Anyone remember that? OK, I am dating myself here. Good stuff. lol This is not a new idea. It has been with us for years. Sex for Dummies??????? Been there, done it. lol It just gives you ideas to enhance your relationship.

I was born in the 50's and my parents had records of Rusty Warren who was a entertainer who spoke out about sex in days when it was considered risky at best. She later went on to speak at colleges for young adults. Now a days the topic has shifted to include drugs, date rape and abuse. Sad but true.

Just me.

You know a dream is like a river Ever changin' as it flows And a dreamer's just a vessel That must follow where it goes Trying to learn from what's behind you And never knowing what's in store Makes each day a constant battle Just to stay between the shores.. and I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry ...
