The Great American Sex Diet

Question: I need advice. I am having problems in my marriage, not because I do not want to have sex, for me I would like to do it several times a week. We do have young children though, which doesn't always make things easy--plus both of us working. My husband seems to have lost the desire and excitement towards me, even though I have worked my way into the same shape I was in pre-baby. Instead he has asked me things like for instance, if I would be on the Internet with him and meet with other couples having sex. I am willing to try all things with him, even though I must admit there are a couple of things I don't like as much, i.e. one of mine is anal sex. It for instance is not something I would go crazy for because frankly it hurts most of the time. But, back to the topic, I am willing to try everything, but I tend to draw my line when it comes to involvement with other couples. Am I so different? I know many people feel this way, but he is making me feel like I am the strange one. The result now is that he is leaving me without any sexual contact, and I am so sad about it. He does not really want to try to compromise at all. What should I do?

Answer: I think I have the perfect solution for you. The other day while browsing my favorite Barnes & Noble I ran across a new book from Laura Corn, sex guru, entitled The Great American Sex Diet. Needless to say I was intrigued. Having reviewed quite a few of her books I bought it without even opening it, knowing what a treasure I had found. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed! In the book, Laura Corn invites you to participate in what she calls the Great American Sex Diet. What it involves is each partner agrees to have sex four times a week over a period of 28 days. Each partner is responsible for two of the times. At the beginning of the week you fill out your spice calendar with teasers about what you have planned. You are each given a spice menu full of ways to spice up the sex, and additional spice menus for the unlikely event you run out of ideas! For further enjoyment, she also included before and after stories from thirty-eight couples that had completed the diet. The entire premise of the diet is the same as her other books, anticipation of the event coupled with variety equals great sex! So, my suggestion for you and your husband is to run to your nearest bookstore and grab a copy of this book. Read through it together and make an agreement to go on this diet!
