Creeping into middle-age and saddled with work deadlines,
child-rearing, homemaking, and fourteen years of
togetherness, an ordinary, happy but harried couple set an
outlandish goal: to have sex for 101 consecutive days—no
excuses (not even the flu, late-night child wanderings, or
flat-out exhaustion). What ensued is by turns hilarious, tender, and seductive,
including sexual romps in hotels (both cheap and classy), at
an ashram, in a basement, atop boulders and unstable easy
chairs, but most often in their own bedroom, which they
dubbed the “sex den.” As Doug and Annie Brown literally
screwed their way through months of a cold Colorado winter,
they turned up the heat by attending the Adult Entertainment
Expo in Vegas (the Oscars of the porn world); taking Bikram
“hot” yoga to get limber; and stocking up on candles, Viagra
(just in case), lube, lingerie, and sex toys galore. But besides the awe in their ability to get it on day after
day—and actually enjoy it—they were more surprised and
touched by how much closer they became, relishing
conversations, holding hands, hanging out in hip coffee
shops together instead of in the aisles of Target, and
firming up (no pun intended) a relationship that already
seemed as good as it could get. Seeking out babysitters, getting fit, and dressing up, these
two forty-year-olds began courting each other the way they
did when they first met in their twenties, only seven moves
and two pregnancies later. As Doug Brown lays everything
bare—from his triumphs to his tanks (yes to making love on
an exercise ball; no to Tantric sex tricks), we get an
inside look at the male mind and discover that a good
husband and a good dad can also be one hell of a lover. The jolt that every marriage needs and longs for, Just Do It
proves that even when it feels like there’s never enough
time or energy, trust Annie and Doug...THERE IS.
