Jodi Ambrose has writtena book whose title alone will have men checking it out. Called"Sex; Ho to get More of It" it is described as a "guys roadmap in and out of the bedroom".

"I know that doesn't sound possible because most guys think women are a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, covered in a big old batch of crazy. But rest assured, if you follow the guidelines set forth in this handbook, both you and your girl will not only find more joy, but more romance as well. (That means more bedroom romping, just in case I wasn't clear.)

And ladies, while I wrote the handbook for your guys to read, I know that some of you may have a guy that wouldn't read a book if you threatened to set him on fire. If that's the case, you can instead read it yourself and then sneakily work an item or two from the 20 easy steps into normal conversation every couple weeks. I don't mind at all if you nab the items in the book and pretend they came out of your brain. You do what you need to do. :)
