The Joy of Sex:

Simone’s Notes:

The Joy of Sex was a ground-breaking illustrated sex manual by Alex Comfort, M.D., Ph.D., first published in 1972. It was the first illustrated, serious such manual to gain wide distribution—at least in modern America. Earlier works, such as the 1966 Human Sexual Response by William H. Masters & Virginia E. Johnson, were more circumspect and clinical. Conversely, The Joy of Sex is rather circumspect and clinical in comparison to The Guide to Getting it On, published 20 years later. The Joy of Sex spent eleven weeks at the top of the New York Times bestseller list and more than 70 weeks in the top five (1972–1974). The original intention was to use the same mainstream approach as such books as The Joy of Cooking, hence section titles include "starters" and "main courses". The book features sexual practices such as oral sex and various sex positions as well as bringing "farther out" practices as sexual bondage and swinging to the attention of the general public.

“I’m so glad we found time to do this!” Erin happily to Derek as she cuddled up close to his bare chest in their bed on a rainy April afternoon. She had managed to talk her boyfriend into spending a long sexual afternoon with her. It was tough, but she won out in the end. The lt. lightly leaned down and kissed his girl on the lips. The little woman kissed back.

“Yep,” Derek agreed softly.

“And to think,” Erin called as she rolled over on her stomach. “You didn’t want to do this!” Bailey just smiled and chuckled.

“I guess you won that argument!” he called jokingly. Erin just smiled at him sweetly.

“I sure did!” she called. Both chuckled a bit again. Then silence lightly fell upon them. Derek took a long while to admire his girlfriend’s lovely face. Her cheeks were deeply rosy with a full afterglow. Her sweet green eyes were overflowing with love. Her lips begged for another kiss. He decided to give her one. So, Derek leaned in lightly and kissed Erin again. She was more than happy to kiss him back. They parted ever so slowly.

“Derek,” Erin spoke up softly. He looked at her kindly.

“Hm?” he asked softly. His girl cuddled in close to him again.

“What are you thinking now?” she asked. Her boyfriend lightly smiled at her.

“Just that I am so lucky to be with the most beautiful woman in the world!” he answer boldly. Erin just giggled at him like a sweet little schoolgirl.

“Stop it, you’re playing!” she called jokingly. Derek just chuckled at her lightly.

“What about you?” he asked. “What’s on your mind Erin?” The WAG began to pretend to think about that for a moment.

Then she said, “Just about you and how husband and kind you are!” Derek just lightly kissed her on the tip of her sweet little bunny rabbit nose. Her face scrunched up in a cute way.

“I guess I answered right on that one, yeah?” she replied. The lt. just smiled back at her. His girl just smiled at him as well. She lightly ran her finger around in small circles on his sweaty bare chest.

“I love you!” Erin whispered loudly to him. Derek just gave her a small kiss on the lips in reply.

“I love you too!” he said back to her. His girlfriend just cuddled up close again and kissed him again on the lips. The lt. happily kissed back. They didn’t stop kissing for like five minutes. When they finally broke away, the couple looked deep and lovingly into each other’s eyes. Erin just lightly laid her head at his chest.

“I love this,” she said. “This is really nice.” Derek just smiled at her wickedly.

“You know what else would make this moment better?” he asked in a lustful tone.

“No, what?” his girlfriend asked sweetly. Her boyfriend didn’t answer right away. He just sank down under the sheets slowly to her. Erin trembled in delight as he began slowly eating her out again. All while the rain poured down lightly outside.
