When I was a teenager, one of the most-talked-about movies that was playing in theaters at the time was "9 1/2 Weeks," starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. The plot revolved around a woman (Basinger) who was the obsessive plaything of a mysterious stranger (Rourke). Rourke's character was utterly guileless in getting Basinger to submit to his intense, numerous sexual scenarios, such as participating in phone sex and using different foods as part of foreplay. Rourke's soothing voice; his sensuous, descriptive words for Basinger's ultimate sexual fantasies; his personal magnetism; and the psychological sado-masochism inherent throughout the movie made for a pair of very memorable characters---and for quite a few unforgettable visuals!Similarly, Stephen Williams "Super Sex Games: Be the Sex Pro You've Always Wanted!" presents hypotheticals that evoke Rourke's character. Images of an intense-looking, erudite, suave and debonair man being able to seduce any woman upon whom he sets his sights were conjured up upon previewing this work. Williams offers the reader different sexual positions to try out, and he encourages both partners to experiment to the fullest.What I have enjoyed about Williams's works in the past is that he demonstrates a natural affinity for helping others help themselves. In "Super Sex Games," he implicitly acknowledges that all of us have unspoken sexual desires and fantasies that we would love to have fulfilled, but may either be to embarrassed or scared to implement them. His gentle encouraging words provide his readers with the impetus to initiate the numerous positions discussed throughout the book, and to do so at a mutually satisfying, comfortable pace."Super Sex Games" is written in an easy, conversational style---almost as if Williams himself is sitting there with you, talking with you as if you were the most important person in the entire world at that particular moment. (Granted, such a description might come across to some people as seeming a bit wierd if you are reading this book in bed with your partner; then again, it's just a book.)I admit that I have a tendency to compare myself to more visible individuals in society who seem to have numerous girlfriends, seemingly with little to no effort. (Then again, the apples-with-oranges adage brings me out of this vicious cycle, and then I can resume working on my personal and social shortcomings so that I, too, can be as manly and awesome as George Clooney. Ahem.)I highly doubt that I will ever attain the iconic cult status that Mickey Rourke holds. (Frankly, the man is a bit too eccentric for me, and he hasn't aged very well, either.) Nevertheless, his character in "9 1/2 Weeks" has been a fantasy for some women in society for a long time, and his seemingly insatiable sexual appetite has left more than a few men feeling slightly inadequate with their own personal magnetism.Personally, age and experience has taught me to accept who I am in the manly-man department. "Super Sex Games" provides a nice blueprint for applying some timely techniques to one's intimate life in order to increase one's sexual repertoire with their partner. It is worth a look.
