The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker - Book Review

Wrinkly sex? Yikes you might say.

But that would be wrong. Mature people enjoy sex just the way us young uns do. And the older you become, the more the realisation that your breasts/testicles require separate carrier bags hits you.

I personally love nothing more than hearing about older people going out there and getting it. not only that, the women I often read about who are getting it, have amazing tales to tell, orgasm to write home about.

Those of us who have youth often feel we have the time to go through a spell of bad fucks for we have 'all the time in the world'. Older people are more refined. Thought before sex is as important as making the most of yourself and your partner once you're both between the sheets. Ignorant fumblings are often disappointing and pointless.

Now, to the book in question.

Suzanne Portnoy writes a memoir which is an open, free and frank account of her sexual emancipation. What makes this different is perhaps that the author has perhaps the best sex of her life after the demise of a ten year old marriage. Indeed, this is where the book begins.

I think we all know what good sex is. We simply choose to lower its value so that it fits with our life and we don't feel cheated.

Also, this book is truly an ode to the genius creation that is the Internet. She has great success meeting men from all over the world through the Internet. In today's social fuck-everybody environment, it's comforting to see somebody who does it so well. And, being the sassy media chick she is, I'm not surprised she did so well.

All in all, a book worth reading, if only for inspiration. The lesson to be learnt is this: good sex comes from honesty, confidence and an idea of what it is you're looking for. Experience everything before you dismiss it.
