In your knowledge of American history, how many of you think that George Washington was only cool, calm, reserved, manly, and had complete control in every moment of has actions; that he never smiled nor had any interest in SEX? Well, you would be surprised! In the eighteenth century, marriage was regarded more as a practical arrangement than as a vehicle for love. His future wife lived in a rural mansion near Williamsburg, VA along the Pamunkey River known, prophetically enough, as the White House!
On January 6, 1759, George Washington (age of 26) and Martha Dandridge Curtis (age of 27), dressed in the latest British fashions, were married at her White House residence. With this marriage, Washington was thrusted into the top-drawer Virginia society and among the wealthiest in Virginia. They would eventually reside in his Mount Vernon estate, which was still under remodeling and further expansion. More importantly, the newlyweds were by no means prudish, but were quite amorous.
The couple possessed a copy of Conjugal Lewdness: Or matrimonial Whoredom by Daniel Defoe and The Lover’s Watch: Or the Art of Making Love by Aphra Behn. As these book titles reveal, they were quite interested in the acts of love-making, which we are all striving to discover, learn, and fulfill in our own lives today.
So let me ask you: what is your ‘book’; your ‘guide to love-making’; your ‘Masters & Johnson’s that’s in your drawer or library from which you draw inspiration? Why don’t you share with the community a ‘resource’ that you found to be reliable and the best-of-the-best for yourself and/or you relationship!!! I hope that what Washington revealed, you can reveal too, here and now, for the young and old alike!!! I am sure we can all benefit.
