Masters of Sex returns September 11, 2016 on Showtime and the premiere can’t come soon enough. It’s been what feels like an eternity since we last saw Virginia Johnson and Dr. Williams Masters pushing the boundaries of societal norms with their pioneering research in science and human sexuality. The show, which is loosely based on the biography by Thomas Maier of the same name stars Lizzy Caplan (yes, Janis from Mean Girls) and Michael Sheen, follows an intriguing story set in the 1950s and 1960s centered around relationships, sex and paving the way for sexual beings of today. Way ahead of their time, Masters and Johnson use patients, call girls, friends and each other (I ‘ship it!) to navigate and push the boundaries of social norms. To say it’s provocative, exciting, and downright addictive would be an understatement for a show of such critical acclaim.

Since I’m super excited for this alluring and arousing series to return to my lackluster TV programming schedule next week, it’s time to get real. We’re all friends here, right? Relationships are hard. There, I said it. Sometimes you have an emotional connection, but the sexual connection falls flat. Other times you have a sexual connection but the emotional element is nonexistent. In a world obsessed with speed, and thriving off of technology with that “hook-up” mentality, it’s no wonder people can’t even carry a conversation in real life let alone find their soulmate. I mean, really, how does one even cultivate a happy and successful relationship? Probably not entirely from watching Masters of Sex (too much dysfunction!), but you sure can learn what to do in the bedroom, and what not to do in a relationship.

Here are three books to help spice up, or help solidify your love life while you wait for the doctors to see you on September 11:

It’s not just for the fun and flirty pair anymore, it can help keep your sexual fantasies out in the open with your loved one and give you some strategies to be a confident partner while trying to please one another.
