Hello ,
It's Olivier, just finishing up a rerun of "Speed"...
Ever seen that 1994 movie? What a rush! Keanu Reeves plays the cool but shy cop (Jack), and Sandra Bullock's incredible as Annie - a passenger who ends up driving the booby-trapped bus round the LA 'burbs.
The script's pure Hollywood action-adventure - with the bad guy (Dennis Hopper) rigging the bus to explode if the speed drops below 50!
Of course that guarantees thrills and spills galore as our heroes grapple with one death-defying obstacle after another.
As the tension builds, we get to see Jack and Annie's relationship move from distrust to respect to an obvious physical attraction...
... so that when they miraculously manage to escape from the bus which is circling endlessly around an airport runway, we know a passionate kiss is coming in the long grass!
In fact, if the emergency services hadn't shown up soon after, that scene would've had Jack and Annie get down to some hot and heavy lovemaking.
(She'd already made clear she was ready and willing.)
Thing is... could Jack have delivered?
And that got me thinking about what many regular guys put themselves through.... needlessly.
For example, let me tell you about Steve.
He's got a drop-dead 22-year-old girlfriend (just like Annie) who's mad keen on him - and yet he worries constantly about how to keep her happy in bed.
Or he's panic stricken she'll up and leave him one day for a real man - his deepest fear, if truth be told.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
And here's why
You see, most men have been sold a crock of horse manure when it comes to satisfying a woman.
For starters, you don't have to be an Olympic gymnast between the sheets.
And there are no pearls of wisdom written on the headboard telling you when to speed up or slow down!
Incredibly, most women know the biggest secret to fantastic lovemaking isn't physical at all.
It was in full view when Jack and Annie were the last two people on the bus.
Wanna know what it was?
Annie went weak at the knees for Jack because not only did he help her escape certain death on the bus. But she just knew he'd come through for her again and again. (And he did - check out the climactic 10 minutes subway ride.)
Now do you get it?
After reading through 'Her Best Lover' in just 45 minutes, guys like Steve certainly do.
That probably explains why his girlfriend's blown away at how he just seems to be able to make her escape each and every time they're alone together.
('Her escape' - what a great name for the multiple orgasms many women long for.)
Oh, and you can be sure she returns the favor in spades - making Steve a very happy man!
What about you?
