Dr Pam Spurr - Sex academy: essential lessons in seduction and spectacular sex

Academy motto: Knowledge equals confidence and success in bed

T he doors to my Sex Academy have been flung open: welcome to the most exciting lessons and lectures youll ever attend.

Think of me as the Professor of Pleasure in the study of sexual satisfaction I aim to educate every reader to the highest standards. Nothing will be left to the imagination as everything you need to know about having the best possible sex will be fully covered in lectures. This applies equally to readers who are part of a couple or single.

The inspiration behind Sex Academy comes from my experience of discussing sex with thousands of people over the years in various contexts face-to-face interviews, on television and radio programmes. As an agony aunt Ive received tens of thousands of e-mails with questions about sex from A to Z anal sex to zero sex. These conversations and e-mails have given me many insights into what makes sex fantastic for some and terrible for others.

Through all these communications a few important points strike me: 1) People forget that you should never stop learning about sex no one knows it all. 2) Sadly too many people lose their sense of fun and humour when things get a bit tricky. 3) Despite having had lots of sex, people often understand very little about sexual desire and what makes people tick.

With these and many other points in mind I thought it was high time for a fun but informative and comprehensive guide to sex. And what better way to appeal to every willing and eager student than a specialist Academy all can attend.

What will be on the Academys curriculum? As the Academys Professor of Pleasure I want to ensure we cover all the subjects necessary to bring you the most satisfying sex youve ever had.

To ensure diligent study, sprinkled throughout Sex Academy lectures are Academy rules. Attention must be paid to rules and discipline is crucial for every student wanting to become the best possible lover.

Academy rule no. 1: Pay attention in lectures as there will be relevant sex-aminations at the end of each Lecture Series.

As with any series of lectures, well begin with the basics of sex that every adult needs to know dont skip the first Lecture Series if you think you know it all, because you dont. This Lecture Series covers sexual anatomy and biology what does what plus how your body works. It includes the all-important subject of sexual arousal and desire, and youll discover what makes you and your bed-partner tick.

From sexual biology we move on to chemistry lectures but this chemistry isnt boring! This chemistry is sexy and hot and includes a vast number of foreplay techniques that ensure things start and continue with a chemical reaction.

Onwards to the physics Lecture Series where you get physical with a huge range of sex positions and techniques to learn. From the easiest positions to the more sophisticated ones, each position description will include an extra tip or two to give you finesse in bed.

After the physics lectures Academy students will learn a number of communication techniques to ensure they get what they want from sex and develop their skills to find out what their partner wants. Communication techniques will be supplemented with confidence-boosting techniques.

After the Lecture Series on communication and bedroom confidence youll receive oral tuition where the sexiest-ever oral techniques will be explained in full detail. Provision is made for techniques to satisfy both a man and a woman.

The Academy lectures now move on to Higher- and then Diploma-level sexual techniques. These will include advanced sessions on subjects like fantasy and role-play, anal sex, bondage , fetishes and other advanced sex-play.

Unlike most academies and colleges of further education, the Academy allows students to mark in this textbook. Feel free to make notes or to mark any particular techniques you want to try.

Please note that when I refer to your partner throughout the Lecture Series, I mean a long-standing partner, a new partner, a one-night stand in other words any person youre enjoying sex-play (and possibly more) with.

Finally, Academy homework will be set but itll be fun and sometimes feisty so definitely give it a go.
