My conclusion was, that it might be her life which was dull....if she really needed this book to spice it up a bit.
Tripe....and I hate tripe!

For some reason this had me thinking of Shirley Conran's book "Superwoman" (I have a copy!) - it's a manual for the good housewife though Ms Conran did go on to write "Lace" in the 80's which was full of bedroom activities but did not include making the perfect bed and how to tuck your sheets to get a pristine corner as only nurses know how.

We all have our fields of expertise - as the saying goes "You make your bed then you have to lie in it".

Yes...I was alluding to the fact that you don't necessarily have to have participated in erotica(or what passes for erotica...personally I think what one person finds erotic can be a turn off to others) to know of its existence.
During my working life I was told things that should have made my hair curl.......but it didn't make me want to go out and try some of the things that these 'ladies' told me.

I do remember an old statement,

To use a feather during sex can be erotic, to use a whole chicken is perverse.

I am relieved to say that I now regard it as an overrated pastime.

...but fondly recall the time when I didn't

That made me chuckle, you've brightened up my evening!

yes.....it gives the phrase 'I'm just stuffing the chicken' a whole new meaning!
