Lube Jobs

Description

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.”‘Maintenance sex,’ say the Macleods (The French Maid), can keep intimacy going with a husband who may want sex more often than the wife or when she’s not really interested. It’s a realistic rather than a sexist assumption, given power couples, having-it-all womanhood, roller-coaster hormones, and real-world parenting. Such “lube jobs” consist of affectionate, speedy, varied, and regular sexual encounters that ensure a husband’s orgasm with minimal effort and optional arousal on the wife’s part-not as a replacement for but a supplement to more leisurely and shared sexual sessions. Some 20 suggested scenarios include creative manual, oral, toy-enhanced, and coital approaches, including body shots (a porn staple), front-seat fellatio, backseat bonking with porn on the laptop, bathtub blow jobs, and closet canoodling. While the constant servicing-a-car wordplay may annoy some readers, the advice is sound and fun. Lighthearted illustrations would have been a nice touch, but the book does quite well as is. Most people spend the largest part of their adulthood slogging through committed relationships, and they need books like this. Recommended for public libraries.” —Library Journal
