The only book about sex–and relationships–any couple needs!,
I just saw these two women, Cindy Pierce and Edie Thys Morgan, put on their book show–or whatever you want to call it, the presentation they give at bookstores to promote their book–at our local bookstore. They were amazing. Hysterical and completely real and wonderful. The book is just as good. Their mantra is “Better sex for the people”–by which they mean, the late-thirties/forties plus people, the I’m to tired for sex people, the exact people who really need better sex. They remind you– “Sometimes when you think you’re not interested in sex, you have to get yourself in the mindset to get interested. And then once you get rolling, you really get interested. And then it gets good, and you never regret it.”
They have all the facts you’ve never gathered, let alone seen put together in one place. from interviewing what they call “PBG guys”—college students, Pre Bitterness and Guilt–to what they learned from Cindy Dodson, apparently America’s foremost (and probably only) seventy-some year old expert on the female orgasm and certainly not someone most women are going to consult themselves, given that she teaches hands-on classes on the subject. Like, men take four minutes to hit orgasm, women twenty–and almost anything can derail them on the way. And then they remind you that they’re there, they’re forty and married and have all the frustration and reasons to turn out the light and go to sleep and put sex off until another day. “This morning my husband asked me, trying to help out–do they pick up the garbage this week? And yes, they pick up the garbage this week–and every week, on the same day, just like they have for the past seven years we’ve lived in this house, and just the fact that you don’t KNOW that…”
After all, people at the stage of life they’re talking about (me!) put tons of energy into family, kids, activites, the house, all that stuff–and it’s easy to forget that the relationship is the foundation of that whole structure, and sex is one thing that keeps that relationship strong.”We just want every couple to try to put sex on the table–to get themselves in bed, naked, partially naked, whatever, just one night a week—preferably the same night–and see if they don’t both end up feeling better and happier.” This book will help you get that part of your relationship back up and running, or keep it rolling–for the long haul.

|Not for anyone under 30…or anyone mildly interesting,
My husband bought me this book while he was away. He thought it would be fun and perhaps contain some real insight. Not in the least. This book is terribly old-fashioned. The basic premise is that a man wants sex all the time while a woman isn’t that interested. What if it’s the opposite for some couples? What if we wanted some advice on how to advance sexually with each other?
Not to be found in Finding the Doorbell. The whole book is about women’s “drought” and how men can help them get over it. And the answer is not by doing anything mildly taboo, according to the authors. Read between the lines in their skimpy paragraph on anal sex: the authors say we don’t know anything about it and we don’t want to know anyone who does. The authors of this book admit to never having used sex toys. I really wish I had known that before I wasted a minute reading Finding the Doorbell.
The book is also very poorly organized and laid-out. The chapter titles are supposed to be funny and clever but this only results in never being able to find what you’re looking for in the book. The fonts jump around all over the place as does the type size.
To all the publishers out there: please don’t give these women a second chance to waste our time and money – and trees.
