Help a guy out

Posted on by Brian Postelle

So much for good intentions. According to this listing in today’s Asheville area Craigslist “free” category, the purchase of a set of books entitled “Lovemaking for Lovers” has landed a presumably well-meaning boyfriend in some hot water with his significant other. She is cutting him off, and he needs your help unloading the offending contraband:

“I bought the three book series called Lovemaking for Lovers for me and my girlfriend, but she didn’t know about it, and when she found out that I bought a series of sex guidebooks, she told me that I had to get rid of it or she would leave me, and until then, we won’t be having sex. Please call [number deleted here] for more details. I really need to give these books away. They cost too much to throw away, but I need to get rid of them as fast as possible.”

    Hey Brain are they still available or did you take them in hopes that they were picture books?

    Dude, why are some straight women so offended by men who want to learn about sex? It’s not like he downloaded D*cks of Death 8.

    If she’s leaving you over this, I hate to say, your future doesn’t look good. What was it she was offended by? I think it;s great you wanted to improve your sex life with your girl. It’s sad but I think I can actually feel your leash getting tighter and shorter. Unless, of course, that something in the book she didn’t want to try! Good luck.
