    Thought someone may get a kick out of this. I thought it better to post it here rather than books as it’s not a proper book.

    I started to read off the table of contents to my wife who was in a sour mood already...seemed like it might’ve been funny. I stopped about halfway through.

    Maybe you should have read it first and followed the instructions. Maybe then she wouldn't have been in a sour mood;):shame:

    The sour mood was not of my doing. As always I could be wrong.

    Maybe not, but if you followed the instructions you might have taken her out of it.

    From what I gather the book is more self serving, not significantly nurturing. I know it’s surprising.

    I remember the days of being corrected on the use of Who and Whom. Not likely many care about that much now....

    I love things like this. When I used to shop a large used book store regularly, I would now & then find some old manual pertaining to sexuality (only in marriage, of course) & grab it, knowing it would be an entertaining read. Usually written by a physician, with an introduction firmly stating the volume was written for the benefit of others in the medical profession & warning that it should not fall into lay hands. (Fear of being charged with obscenity, I suspect.) Over the years I have given them all away, mostly as gifts to doctors I knew would enjoy them.

    How do you woo an authoress?

    It's a lot of info to cram into 50 pages.

    An excellent post!
    This book is so worn, it must have been read by a lot of bachelors... or only one who wooed (alliteration:p) all categories of women in the table of contents;):hilarious::hilarious:
