Recently a group of my friends were discussing a book called Forty Beads by Carolyn Evans. It is the story of how a new approach to sex - using beads as a kind of token system - transformed the marriage of the author. As the discussion developed, every girl in the group h... ad an opinion. Some were shocked, some skeptical, and those who had tried it were pretty darn pleased with themselves. I decided to read the book for myself.
