Sunday’s Seattle Times takes a long look at how-to sex books which they believe fall into four distinct categories: directive, reflective protective and erective.

The reviews on “How to Set His Thighs on Fire: 86 Red-Hot Lessons on Love, Life, Men and (Especially) Sex” and “Sex With the Lights On: 200 Illuminating Sex Questions Answered” were interesting, as you have to admit…you always wonder…but at ThisNext we’re big blogger fiends (could you tell yet?) so what we really love is Michael Schaub’s candid remarks about “Thighs On Fire” over at Blog of a Bookslut who pointed us to the article in the first place.
