Lube Jobs: A Woman's Guide to Great Maintenance Sex
A straight-talking women's guide to tending to a partner's unrequited libido and reigniting the sexual sparks in a long-term relationship.
Many couples are all too familiar with the classic bedroom balancing act-managing His and Her sex drives. As men clamor for more action and women grumble for more sleep, the topic of "maintenance sex"-those dutiful two minutes to "get it over with"-invariably arises to divide and conquer a couple's sex life. Yet as Don and Debra Macleod reveal in Lube Jobs, maintenance sex can be an exciting and loving way to jump-start a stalled sex life. And if it's done right, it can be fun for both parties. Indeed, just as the sleekest luxury car requires routine tune-ups for smooth performance, a long-term relationship requires regular lube jobs for a friction-free love life.
Part saucy sex manual, part relationship survival guide, Lube Jobs includes a provocative menu of twenty ready-made "lube jobs" consisting of naughty sex scenarios, bedroom-toy tips, sexual techniques, and erotica. Each lube job inspires a woman to embrace maintenance sex as a critical aspect of her committed relationship, and shows her how to infuse it with spontaneity and affection. Throughout are poignant, sometimes hilarious, stories of couples struggling to find their own balance in the bedroom.

While a continuing relationship is akin to a jigsaw puzzle with unending pieces, and the gestalt of the image is inevitably in the eye of the beholder, this gives a base line of their interpretation of a physical understanding or rapprochement

Written by a husband and wife team, this book addresses the "touchy" subject of maintenance sex, or basically one solution to husband and wife having disparate sex drives... if she wants it twice a week and he wants it 5 times a week, what do you do? The minimum? The maximum?
Their proposal is the concept of maintenance sex, (at times over-) using the analogy of a car - you like to take it in for a full service check-up but there are times you just need the oil changed. So in the bedroom (our outside of it) they propose you have the good stuff when you are both in the mood and service the higher drive partner in between.
The book is aimed at women because in general the guy has a higher sex drive than the woman. There are exceptions, but that's just the way this book was written, so the book is split up into sections on manual stimulation, oral stimulation, and intercourse, giving the woman some ideas of how to keep it quick and interesting and the suggestion is that if you enjoy it, don't be afraid to turn the quickie into something more. The final section discusses some other ideas like massage, various toys and the use of porn (written stories, pictures and video) which may be more contentious, but they emphasize that they are just tools and if you aren't comfortable with the tool don't use it.
They give some insights into the male psyche/sex drive which I felt for the most part were spot-on.

Might be good if one is in a happy relationship and just wants to liven up the romance.
