The Kama Sutra

Imagine every day, for five years straight, you eat the same thing for breakfast. Let's say that the breakfast consists of oatmeal, some honey and a cup of sweetened green tea. You eat this, every day, 365 days a year, every morning you wake up. You dream of exotic muffins with all sorts of wild berries inside, or perhaps waffles topped with strawberries. Maybe an omelet. But you cannot . and every day, it's oatmeal. Again. And again.

It's not that you don't like oatmeal per se - in fact, you feel it's a substantial part of your diet. You believe - and perhaps so does your physician - that the oatmeal is good for your cholesterol. But you don't care, and you want to break up the monotony. But where do you turn? You can't have everything at once. Maybe you want to go out to eat. Maybe you want to take cooking classes at the local community college.

Strangely enough, this metaphor can apply to your love life. We're not comparing your spouse to oatmeal, or any other breakfast item, but you get the point. You may love that oatmeal, honey and the cup of green tea, but you'd like to try something new. It'll still be breakfast, but it will be revamped somewhat. You want to keep an eye on your cholesterol, remember.

Sex has been compared to food a lot in books and film - and integrated in Adrian Lyne's 9½ Weeks. If you want a better meal, buy a cookbook. But what about sex? How do you add spice to your sex life without going too far? Flavor your oatmeal don't replace it with something else.

Books are certainly one way to go. The Kama Sutra, a famous "sex manual" from India is notably famous for its elaborate descriptions and time-tested advice (The Perfumed Garden is another infamous guide). Couples every year search through its many pages to try new erotic Kama Sutra positions and add them to their sexual repertoire. The Kama Sutra is not simply a how-to guide, like an instruction sheet on how to build a car, but focuses on other forms of non-physical intimacy, from communication to developing just the right ambience. New forms of romanticism and eroticism bring the spice back to sex that was, frankly, getting to be a little old hat.
