Lube Jobs: A Woman's Guide to Great Maintenance Sex
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.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
