Synopsis

A straight-talking women's guide to tending to a partner's unrequited libido and reigniting the sexual sparks in a long-term relationship.

Many couples are all too familiar with the classic bedroom balancing act-managing His and Her sex drives. As men clamor for more action and women grumble for more sleep, the topic of "maintenance sex"-those dutiful two minutes to "get it over with"-invariably arises to divide and conquer a couple's sex life. Yet as Don and Debra Macleod reveal in Lube Jobs, maintenance sex can be an exciting and loving way to jump-start a stalled sex life. And if it's done right, it can be fun for both parties. Indeed, just as the sleekest luxury car requires routine tune-ups for smooth performance, a long-term relationship requires regular lube jobs for a friction-free love life.

Part saucy sex manual, part relationship survival guide, Lube Jobs includes a provocative menu of twenty ready-made "lube jobs" consisting of naughty sex scenarios, bedroom-toy tips, sexual techniques, and erotica. Each lube job inspires a woman to embrace maintenance sex as a critical aspect of her committed relationship, and shows her how to infuse it with spontaneity and affection. Throughout are poignant, sometimes hilarious, stories of couples struggling to find their own balance in the bedroom.

About this title

About the Author:

Don and Debra Macleod are husband-and-wife authors whose intimacy and marriage books have helped thousands of couples learn to love-and lust!-for a lifetime.  They focus on writing mainstream "spice it up" guides for long-term couples, and believe that "the couple that plays together stays together."

From Publishers Weekly:

The husband and wife authors (The French Maid And 21 More Naughty Sex Fantasies to Surprise Your Man) argue that maintenance sex, defined here as any activity designed to please the man in the relationship, is undeserving of its reputation as "both sexless and joyless" and "the bane of a woman's sexual existence." Jettisoning any real attention to female sexuality and needs (men are given virtually no tips on romancing, seducing or satisfying), the authors focus on the disparity between the male and female sex drive, taking at face value the common wisdom that men need more sex than women. As such, they provide 20 strategies for keeping him satisfied, which include everything from role-playing scenarios to racy emails to incorporating toys and videos. While none of the concepts are novel, the book's consideration of each topic is generally thoughtful and explained in graphic detail, including not just the how-to of a given "job," but exactly why it gratifies. Though some (if not, many) readers will find this single-minded guidebook patronizing, it does what it sets out to do, with very little deviation from the man-pleasing mission at hand.
