I have just finished my favorite summer read- Just Do It- How one Couple Turned off the TV and Turned On Their Sex Lives for 101 Days- (No Excuses) by Douglas Brown.
I head about the book and got it on a whim- and after I read it, it made me realize some uncomfortable things about my marriage, and about how things get stuck in a rut sometimes. Is showed how this CRAZY couple changed things. It is NOT a sex book, but a book about love, and intimacy and how they kept it revved up for 101 (yes, 101!!!!!! days. A laughing summer read, but makes you think, especially about how to keep a marriage alive with kids,m work, and life. Please note, their are no steamy sex scenes in this book, but lots of thing that make you think. One of my favorite things is that Anne thinks that an aphrodisiac is a baby sitter, a house cleaner, a foot rub. Here are some reviews of the on Amazon:
"101 straight days of sex between any two people is an impressive feat, but add the elements of encroaching middle age, fourteen years of togetherness, a couple of demanding jobs, and two small and willful children, and that feat becomes something extraordinary. Here, Doug Brown faithfully chronicles the happy consequences of this kind of radical pact, which turn out to be less about reaching sexual heights and more about the power of consistent intimacy to cement all that's good between two people." —Lauren Dockett, co-author of Facing 30 and Sex Talk
“I laughed so hard tears came to my eyes. And when I finished the book, although I haven't smoked in over a decade, I wanted a cigarette. Doug has hit the mark and done it in a way that appeals to both sexes and many generations. The only problem will be putting down the book long enough to ‘Just Do It’ with the one you love.”
—Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., MFT, author of Emotional Fitness for Couples
“For their inspired every-day-for-100-days performance, Doug and Annie Brown have earned a place in the Harried Married Parents’ Hall of Fame!”
—Stacie Cockrell, Cathy O’Neill, and Julia Stone, authors of Babyproofing Your Marriage
“If you're one of the millions of couples who are saying, "Gee, how come we're not making love so often any more," you HAVE to read this book. Many of us have thought of taking this journey, but only Doug and Annie have had the guts to do it and the grace to write about it.”
—Mira Kirshenbaum, author of Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay and When Good People Have Affairs
“Just Do It is an exciting and hilarious story about a busy couple taking the time to put the passion back into their marriage. It's a fantastic read--very funny, and a touching story. I hope this inspires everyone to rediscover the intimacy in their relationships, even if they don't go to these extraordinary means!”
—Harry Fisch, MD, author of Size Matters and The Male Biological Clock
