Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off the TV and Turned On Their Sex Lives for 101 Days (No Excuses!)

There is much more to this story than I expected. I thought it would be cute & funny, which it is, but it is also a very touching story about how a couple reconnected after 12 years of marriage and two little ones running around. There was nothing "wrong" with their relationship but this experiment brought so much more to their lives and in the end really changed them as a couple. Douglas Brown is a great writer and it is indeed very funny. I loved reading about the things he learned along the way.

They were a fairly conservative couple sexually speaking and had never done a lot of things that they did do over the course of this 101 days (like attending the National Porn Convention in Vegas) and the results were humorous to say the show more least! Also, they really committed to this and this means 101 days straight....no matter how tired (or ill!) and that brought up some interesting situations as well. I highly recommend this book to married couples. It is funny, entertaining, sometimes informative and very touching. show less

Doug and Annie Brown, loving parents of two young girls, make a commitment to have intimate relations every day for 100 days. (For the record: It was her idea). Interested in replicating the experiment? Don't bother with a book; take the title at its word: just do it. Maybe see your doctor first. But for the rest of the population--those who might rather experiment with eating fudge for 100 days straight, for instance. Or, sawdust.--it's worth a read. Brown's description of his family's journey is a reflection of far more important things--life priorities, enduring love, living "in the now"--than about how often any given couple chooses to do the deed.

frank, funny- very honest about how difficult it is to juggle kids, jobs, family, AND still stay close to your spouse; in a broader view, just one more example of how Sex (and not on the personal level) has invaded all parts of our lives- conventions, movies, newspapers, etc

Here is an excerpt from my review!

The book is well written, light hearted, & FUN to read. It is not gratuitous or "X-Rated". Heck, the book is barely "R-Rated". In fact I found myself very envious of the strength of their bond & their relationship.

This book made the rounds of the staff here at the library. Alternately dull and Too Much Information, the book was a disappointment -- it would have made an excellent article.
