About book Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off The TV And Turned On Their Sex Lives For 101 Days (No Excuses!) (2008)
This book is in the "someone did something for a set amount of time and their random project gave them deep insights into universal human truths" genre- I have a bit of an obsession with this genre, I love projects and goals and random aspirations. I had heard about it a while back, and when I happened upon it in the library I picked it up. It's a quick, funny read, with the author ruminating on family, marriage, love, parenthood.Despite being about 101 straight nights of married sex, there is very little actual sex talk in the book. The experiments they did talk about were pretty tame- "oh my gosh honey, look, I got a Brazilian wax!" or "let's try a vibrator, for the first time ever!". Honestly, the most shocking thing to me out of the whole book was that, despite sleeping together for 14 years, the author and his wife had never used lube- and they had never even thought about using it, even just for fun. They seemed to approach it as some exotic, kinky thing, which made me think "thank goodness you guys did this sex marathon thing, if only to discover lube".All in all, a funny, weird read that made me think that marriages are actually, sometimes, happy, healthy relationships to be in. Nice to be reminded of that. Well, I know that some of you couldn't believe that I put this on my list and others are waiting for my review! It is interesting. The books gets pretty repetitive as you can about imagine but I think some of the revelations they get out of their little "experiment" are good reminders in daily married life. There is some humor in the book and a lot of stories that many married couples especially if you have children can relate to.
