Just for kicks, a friend and I picked up this book at a book sale a few weeks ago. Yesterday while I was doing her hair, she read out a chapter that happened to be on 'great positions'. Here's what the book said:

"...the woman should be positioned in such a way that her pelvis is pressing down against the bed, and the man should gingerly rest his weight on his heels while preparing to lie on top of her. If he wants, he can slide his arms under her so his elbows are perpendicular to her spine and supporting her..."

Okay, I don't know about you lot, but the only time I want to use the word 'gingerly' is when I'm giving instructions on how to diffuse a bomb. And seriously speaking, who even reads these books? Can you imagine couples getting in to the heat of things and then the man saying 'Hang a second sweetie, let me just look at the diagram" Or worse still, what if she says "That's not how they're doing it - SEE? Look at the picture!" But probably the worst ever thing would be the look on the clerk's face when you try to buy this book at the bookstore. It's like having a big invisible 'LOSER' neon sign stuck to your crotch.
