Book Description

September 1, 2010

Honey, Baby, Sweetums, Pookie . . . Who knew those sweet, androgynous pet names are the first step toward a nonexistent sex life? And all those 'personal grooming' activities you used to hide . . . Believe it or not, sharing them with your partner puts you on the fast track toward killing a healthy sexual relationship.

Stop Calling Him Honey and Start Having Sex is a smart, sassy, and honest guide for women of all ages, and looks at the root causes of sexual boredom in a revolutionary way. Authors Maggie Arana and Julienne Davis have discovered that it's the everyday things we say and do that sabotage sexual chemistry. They dare to pull back the sheets to examine the subtle yet powerful ways we're dulling our desire for our partners, while giving simple and practical solutions to rekindle the fire in our relationships.

This non-therapy-speak guide explains why date nights and sex in different locations are only Band-Aid solutions: The truth is, if you don't feel like having sex anymore, forcing yourselves to do it on the kitchen table is not going to fix the problem! In Stop Calling Him Honey and Start Having Sex, you'll also learn:

 

  • Why arguing is an important factor in bringing couples closer together
  • Why it is critical to maintain a sense of individuality
  • How sexuality doesn't hinge on having the perfect body but rather on how a woman feels about herself and how she projects those feelings to her partner

 

If your sex life reads more like a service manual than a romance novel, stop calling him 'honey' and start rekindling the flame of desire!

Editorial Reviews

Review

I'm not sure if familiarity breeds contempt in marriage, but I'm sure it breeds boredom in the bedroom.  If you and your partner are in a sexual rut, Davis and Arana will help dig you out by offering you concrete advice for rekindling the juiciness you felt when you first met. Their counter-intuitive, yet effective suggestions will bring out the sexual siren in you and bring back passion to your relationship.

4.0 out of 5 stars LOVE the Conversational Tone October 2, 2010
Format:Paperback
I'm rarely one for self help books, but I seen this on Shelf Awareness and thought of my own eight year marriage and thought... "It certainly couldn't hurt!"

I found this book very helpful and at the same time, very humorously written. I love the way the authors maintain a friendly, funny, humorous tone thoughout. The chapter about flatulence, toilet habits, and belching had me laughing so hard I had to go get a tissue to wipe tears from my face. I know the stories were not intended to be funny, but to make a point, but I do have some redneck in me...

The book talks about how pet names and baby talk harm a relationship and how being more formal with other like when you were first dating is a great way to keep that "hotness" going. Now, I pay for half of the roof over our heads and I don't see myself politely excusing myself from my husband's presence and leaving the room every time I need to break wind or belch, but I did realize some other things I am doing wrong in my relationship.

The most helpful chapter for me was about loving yourself. (To those very dirty minded individuals that are reading this: It's not THAT!!) It's about self confidence.

As I write this, I'm not rushing to tear my husband's clothes off, but I do have some ideas for rekindling the home fires. Four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-opener!!! October 5, 2010
Format:Paperback
by Emily Placido, author of Julita's Sands: A Memoir

Let me tell you, my husband and I needed this book badly! We will be celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks. Our marriage has been very rocky the last few years due to my role change from wife and mother to caregiver to my mom who had Alzheimer's, and last year we separated. Well, in May I came back and my husband and I went to Book Expo America in New York where we came upon this book. What a miracle!

I read this book twice and each time something new is revealed to me. I love the "ten couple commandments"! I look at it almost everyday just to stay on track. A couple of things you shouldn't do, we never did. Thank goodness. But, the last three really hit home for us. It has a lot to do with identity which is what my husband and I lost somewhere over the years, and "playful" arguing. What a concept! We never did that before but now we do and it is fun! I don't want to give too much away so you'll just have to read the book yourself. Our marriage has gotten so much better and we are enjoying each other again. Anyone in a romantic relationship should read this book. Now, if only I could get my husband to read it, imagine what will happen then!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Title Says it All! October 5, 2010
Format:Paperback
This book is a veritable bible for jump starting tired relationships and adding a spark to good ones. The authors write in a style that has a "friends chatting over a glass of wine" feel. It's amazing how many topics are covered that alot of us make a habit and that can really affect relationships. I contains lots of sound and witty advice and observations that I've have found very helpful already. This book was long overdue. It's is a fun and fantastic read!

P.S. I had to wait a bit to read it because my husband got to it first and couldn't put it down.

One of the worst books I have ever read. It's short. Not much good information in it. Not well written but lots of use of the "f" word. A waste of money.

Book arrived when it was suppose to. The book itself is shallow and gives little help or
information. I would not order this book again or pass it on to anyone.
