Know any good books?
| Mon, 03-24-2008 - 11:33am |
Good morning everyone,
I received a visit from my neighbors daughter last night... She is 23 yrs old and getting married in June.

Personally speaking my sisters gave me the Joys of Sex & a sub for Playgirl for my 18th birthday.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO what a ride!'
Nice to "meet" you also.....
Kats suggestion is great.
You might also want to look up books and/or videos from Sinclair Institute. They have a good approach for couples, and probably have some books that begin with the basics.
If she uses the web, you could also direct her to a website, www.the-clitoris.com, which will be helpful in telling her what she needs to know about her own body and how it will respond to sexual stimulation.

Given that both of them are very religious, you need to be careful that they just view it as porn and refuse to even open the book.
If it were me, I'd call my priest and discuss it with him. If you can tell her that Father Smith recommends these books, it may make a huge difference. Many churches also have mandatory pre marriage classes. The couples that run these are also experienced in discussion these matters.
I believe that addressing the problem from this direction will yield better results than a "how-to" approach.

Paul,
Thanks for the input...unfortunately their minister is his father and her future father-in-law... don't think she want to take about sex with him...

That does make things a bit more challenging.
I was not suggesting that she speak to her minister. I was suggesting that you speak to your minister. Explain that you have a friend with this problem. What books and advice would he suggest?
If you do have a good relationship with their minister(her future FIL), you may be able to discuss it with him. It would be trickier but at least he is not her father. Ministers are used to dealing with these issues. I hope he would want them to have a wonderful sexual life within the confines of their marriage. For both their comfort, he may suggest that they speak to a colleague.
