Foreword
Have you ever heard anyone say that, for men, everything revolves around sex? We all know it is a little more complicated than that and, of course, there are always exceptions to the rule but we also know there are good reasons sex is so important to men. As women, we are well served when we give our sexual needs and desires priority as well. Sex can be a salve for a bad day at work, an incredibly fun way to spend an evening (or morning, or afternoon), and a way to bring us closer to our partners. After all, don't you find that you are a much happier person and that your relationship is usually much smoother sailing when you and your man are both sexually satisfied?
An active, vital sex life is not only a key component in a strong relationship, it is healthy and empowering for women. When it comes right down to it, is there anyone stronger or more powerful than a confident woman who is secure in her sexuality?
Maybe you want to be that lusty, sexually confident partner, but you feel a little shy and inhibited. Maybe you have a lot more questions than answers. After all, even in our supposedly enlightened and liberated times, there are still lots of taboos when it comes to the sexy details of a satisfying romp. Sex and the City was a huge step in the right direction, but if you only have Hollywood as your primary source of information, there are still significant gaps in your sexual education. If so, pick a page any page of this book and be prepared to learn something. It is chock full of ideas for mixing it up, being creative and keeping your sex life fresh and interesting.
It's funny, because we didn't necessarily realize how many gaps we had in our education ten years ago when we honored the request of SheKnows.com community members and added a Sex Talk (for her eyes only!) forum to the message boards.
What happened in this community was a revelation. Women not only wanted to talk about sex, they wanted to learn more about it, improve the experience, and try new things in bed (or out, as the case may be). Even more importantly, they had extremely valuable information to share. Never particularly prudish, it was still an eye-opener to see what women would talk about when freed from the constraints of a face-to-face conversation. We found ourselves saying, My, my, my we hadn't even considered that. What? Really? They make products like that? Huh? Suddenly, there were whole new worlds to explore.
That's the point of this book: to be a refreshingly fun primer about how to have a better time in bed or, really, a better time wherever the mood takes you. It's not intended to be a serious relationship tome at all, and yet you might find it has a better effect on your relationship than any other strategy you've ever tried.
It is our hope that as you read this book you get to know more about yourself and your needs and desires, and how to make a lot of memories that will warm you up and make you smile for years to come.
