"Playing with yourself is a great procrastination device/study break/lonliness reliever. Way better than smoking or television." — from the chapter "Me Time: Hooksexup's Masturbation Manifesto"

"DIY sex puts a smile on your face by releasing endorphins. So self-administer a mercy fuck after a bad day at work — or better yet, before a night on the town, to give you that special, mysterious glow. You'll attract honeys like flies." — from the chapter "Me Time: Hooksexup's Masturbation Manifesto"

Destroy your partner's concentration at work by making them dream about sex all day: Send dirty emails and text messages, leave voicemails stating your dishonorable intentions for later that evening. It's foreplay without the work! (Just make sure your boss doesn't screen your email.) — from the chapter "The Niceties: Foreplay Is Everything"

"The more senses you deprive your partner of, the more intensely they'll feel whatever you're performing on them (great oral sex, if they're lucky). Mute all their senses except touch and they'll feel like the only thing that exists in the world is your mouth on their genitals."— from the chapter "Kink, It's Not What You Think: BDSM for the Rest of Us"

"Use condoms, especially this week. Because people suck, people lie, and people don't get tested as often as they should." — from the chapter "Read This Chapter: STDs You Could Have Right Now!"

"We're firm believers in a quid pro quo policy when it comes to oral sex: You've got to give it to get it. Which is why you should initiate, and not wait to be asked to head downtown. That said, an occasional request for oral sex after a bad day at work or your pet's funeral is reasonable. But make this request wisely — if you cry wolf this week, you might be out of luck in the oral department when you really need it." — from the chapter "Heading South: The Art of Oral Sex"

"Don't shoot your wad all at once, so to speak. This is a GO SLOW zone. We've got one word for you: Tease, tease, tease! It's always sexier to have your partner beg for more rather than ask for less. Did we say go slow?" — from the chapter "The Niceties: Foreplay Is Everything"

"Do leave more than a hat on. Total nudity is not always a prerequisite for great sex. Plus, leftover clothes give the sex a sense of urgency. And that's hot." — from the chapter "Just Doing It: The Ins and Outs of Intercourse"

"Only play nice with people who will play nice, 'cause the ex who caught you cheating and now has you cuffed and blindfolded ain't comin' back." — from the chapter "Kink, It's Not What You Think: BDSM for the Rest of Us"

"Screw as the situation dictates this week. Maybe you're in the middle of a knock-em-down, drag-em-out fight when you start kissing with a vengeance — suddenly lighting some candles and getting out the massage oil would probably kill the mood. Instead, tug on their hair, scratch their back, thrust with fury, call them dirty names, damn it!" — from the chapter "Just Doing It: The Ins and Outs of Intercourse"

"Communication is the cornerstone of all relationships — yours is no exception. You and your partner need to figure out what you want, what you don't want; what you're willing to do and what you would never do; how you'd like an evening to begin, and more importantly, how you'd like it to end." — from the chapter "Kink, It's Not What You Think: BDSM for the Rest of Us"

"There's a cheesy motivational plaque hanging in many a corporate lobby which reads: 'Tell me, I forget; Show me, I remember; Do it with me, I understand.' Obviously they were talking about learning to give great hand." — from the chapter "Can I Get a Hand Here? Manually Stimulating Your Partner"
