I love to talk about sex. Often, however, I need to discuss more than just the delicious details and sensations. In fact, a whole range of other topics – love, trust, tenderness, jealousy, sharing, self-image – need to be discussed. I can’t describe how a threesome might work, for example, without considering the feelings of the people involved (especially if one feels like the odd lover out), or talk about intercourse as if everyone were always aroused. We’re complex, we humans, and any book about human sexuality is going to have to consider a lot before it gets where it’s going. Getting answers is often a challenge requiring some creativity. A bold woman I know once invited a gay male friend to lunch, gave him a few glasses of wine and then popped the question: “If you had a penis in your mouth, what are some of the nice things you might do with it?” He almost dropped the glass, but he proceeded to describe to her the exquisite details about what men to each other’s erect penises. Wouldn’t you men like to know just where the G-Spot is and how to treat it to give your woman a new and spectacular kind of orgasm? Wouldn’t you women like to know how to develop your vaginal muscles so as to give your man a unique type of ‘deep’ massage? How about information on the lovemaking positions that will stimulate your most sensitive spot during intercourse? We all have lots of reasons to be interested in this kind of information. Our curiosity about lovemaking and our desire to improve are just as natural as the basic sex urge itself. And, furthermore, the more sexual variety you know about and are comfortable practicing, the more you’re free to concentrate on the finer points of your relationship. I’m convinced that knowing a few good moves – plus a few ‘secrets’ about how the other sex sees things – can give you greater confidence and help you come on like the tiger you really are. As you read the chapters – and I can’t emphasize this enough, talk to your partner about what you’re reading and feeling. Not only is it a real sign of mutual caring to find out what your lover wants out of sex, it’s also fun. You may find that discussing sex and your reactions to it (and having your lover do the same) can be one of your greatest stimulations.
