The Couples' Guide to Erotic Games is an innovative approach to revitalizing relationships. Its premise is "As goes sex, so goes the relationship". Believing that sexual play is often the most effective way of working through pent-up feelings and ingrained attitudes that keep couples emotionally distant, Dr. Schoenewolf has created 71 therapeutic, fun-filled games, designed for specific types of couples. The games include "Nude Indoor Volleyball" and "Massage Poker", "Erotic Cinderella", "Sexual Battle", "Mystery Lover", "Psycho Surprise", and "Games to Restore Tenderness". The book even includes exercises for couples whose politics or religion gets in the way of their relationships. Also included, for the first time, are a series of warm-up games for couples to get used to before the more explicit exercises.
