Because we know you’re sleepless and sexless, we know that time for reading can be difficult to find. So jump right in with this cheat sheet:
• Brand new baby? Want that “get out of sex free” card? We won't give it to you, but in Chapter 1 we will give you some tips for jumpstarting things…without too much backfire.
• Colicky baby? No, despite our clever title, we don’t have specific tips for this. But we do know that babies with special needs can equal parents with needs of their own often going unmet. For that reason we recommend grabbing your partner and diving right in. The between-chapter diagnostics are a good place for you to see where you’re at now and where you’d like to go.
• In a hurry for some practical tips? Gloss over the main parts of each chapter and skip to the Sex RX at the end of each chapter. It’s just what the doctor ordered for getting your groove back.
• Got the Third Wheel Blues? The baby blues? Some other shade of blue? Fill up with a little support pit-stop in chapter 2.
• Would you rather do the dishes than your partner? Is sex just another job on a long to-do list? Then push chapter 3 to the top of yours.
• Dad -- do you get up at night more easily than you get it up? Mom -- still hoping your maternity pants will come back in fashion? Do the words “let’s get physical” make either of you think about how tired, out of shape, and generally yucky you feel? You’re not alone, and chapter 4 can offer some real succor (Guys, we said succor, not sucking).
• Has date-night become hate-night? Grab your honey, grab this book, and go read chapter 5 at a café over a glass of wine. Or skip to the Mini Sex RXs throughout the chapter for instant date-night assignments.
• Does sex just not rock your boat anymore? Maybe it never gave you the motion of the ocean you wanted or the excitement in bed has just died way down. Chapter 6, with tips for shaking things up a bit will have you screaming Land, Ho in no time.
• Finally, we know that you’re real and human and we’re going to treat you that way. Shit happens in your sex life. Porn, infidelity, slumps that go on and on. And kids make this all the harder. So if you’re a real person with some real problems, do not pass go and head straight for chapter 7.
