The Great Sex Weekend: A 48-hour Guide to Rekindling Sparks for Bold, Busy, or Bored Lovers

Conceived by two professionals with nearly three decades' combined experience in the field of human sexuality and "road-tested" by dozens of couples (whose testimonies and comments appear throughout the book), The Great Sex Weekend provides a step-by-step program to help lovers recapture passion and playfulness with advice on:

Planning the setting--home or away
Sensuous clothing, food, and toys
Verbal and nonverbal foreplay
Fulfilling fantasies
The most romantic getaway places

OK, so those days of wine, roses, and boundless lust are just a bit of dusty memory, off in the hinterland of youth, before kids, stress, and that most deadly foe of romance--routine--derailed the passion. Sex experts Pepper Schwartz and Janet Lever offer no magical elixirs of youth, just a weekend guide to re-ignited love, road-tested by diligent researchers, with specifics on how to partake of a weekend away that's devoted to recovering intimacy and the pleasures of the flesh. Plan your getaway together and fantasize about it; declare a moratorium on work talk and focus on one another; break old patterns and experiment with new techniques (all delineated in the book). Age may not be a state of mind, but good sex certainly is, and it's a state that can be recaptured.--Stephanie Gold
