Dewey Decimal Number: 613.96 EAN: 9780811847018 ISBN: 0811847012 Label: Chronicle Books Manufacturer: Chronicle Books Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 376 Publication Date: December 30, 2004 Publisher: Chronicle Books Studio: Chronicle Books Editorial Review: Product Description: yes, yes, YES! It seems that readers do, in fact, want to have sex every day of the year. Picking up where its outrageously successful predecessor, um, got off is Position of the Day Playbook, featuring 366 erotic couplings packed into one chunky, inspiring, and hilarious compendium. Following the publication of Position of the Day, Nerve was bombarded with reader comments: Do any of the positions work better with equipment—say, a six-pack and a helmet? And, hey, do I still need to go to the gym if I'm regularly having sex upside down with my head on a chair and my feet wrapped around my lover's neck? Nerve has tried to address these concerns and others in this latest edition. A team of nimble, limber, and extremely attractive volunteers selflessly ventured to the laboratory for months of research—the results of those experiments are now available for only $12.95! Each sexual position comes with an estimated caloric expenditure (for each person involved), a list of possible side effects (leg cramp, lawsuit), and equipment recommendations (hanging bar, stethoscope, cowboy hat). And no workbook, ahem, playbook, would be complete without a followup section for comments and rating boxes for the reader to fill out.Publisher's note: Should parties find themselves stuck in one of the positions, they are advised to contact 911 immediately and neither Chronicle Books nor Nerve directly.

 Rating:  - wonderfulFast shipping... great book! some are a bit.... lets say... not possible, but most positions are doable! Loved it. So did the boyfriend!!! Rating: - Best Gift EverI buy a bunch of these every year and give them away as a fun gift. Everyone always loves getting one. Rating: - so unique!Different from all of the other "position" type books. Even has a place where you can write your own reactions and feelings or "ratings" about a certain one. There really is one for each day of the year, although I think some are quite similar if not repeated throughout the year... Rating:  - Position Of The Day Playbook: Sex Every Day In Every WayDon't waste your money. The illustrations are vague and there are no instructions. Most of the 'positions' could only be acheived by competitive gymnasts and that is doubtful knowing anatomical limitations. Just because you give one position two names doesn't make it two positions. Rating: - Better than the originalIf you're wondering which to get, this one of the original book (ISBN:0811839575), I'd say go for this one. The original only has pictures and names for each position, but this one also gives an estimate of calories burned (kind of a joke, really), a rating system you can give each after you've tried them, as well as comments fields which you can fill in. The positions aren't exactly the same as the original, however, at least not in the same order. Doing a quick flip through of both, they may be the same 365 or so, but they don't appear on the same dates as in the original (except for the holiday specific ones). In other words, there may be some in one book that aren't in the other, or they may just be rearranged, I'm not sure. The only other difference between the two is the size. While both are the same thickness, the original is a bit smaller than this one since it lacks the additions I mentioned above. Overall, if you're interested in keeping track of which ones you do and such, go for this one. If not, then it doesn't really matter. If you can still get this one at the bargain price of $4.99, then you should get it for sure! And remember, this book was intended to be humorous, not totally serious. Many of the positions are not even humanly possible (although I'm sure many have tried) and that is mentioned in the introduction. It's still fun to experiment and just have fun with it. For examples, check out the original site these were published on. |
The story is pointedly set in the late 1980s, years before the establishment of the WNBA, so Monica's prospects for pro ball lie exclusively in Europe, while Quincy steps into the pros at home. It's a pleasure to see a character as passionate and fully developed as Monica, and Lathan gives a fiery portrayal (she had never played ball before the film, but you'd never tell from her performance). Prince-Bythewood favors her struggle over Quincy's and opens our eyes to her unique challenges with a sharp, savvy contrast. Alfre Woodard costars as Monica's harping mom (always trying to get her to be more ladylike) and Dennis Haysbert is Quincy's philandering father. Hoops fan Spike Lee produced. --Sean Axmaker
