Completed: 29. Read and Execute Every Position in the Kama Sutra
The Kama Sutra is not exclusively a sex manual. It offers advice on love, relationships, being romantic, and of course, ways to find pleasure in the boudoir. Considering it was written before the bible was compiled and offers timeless advice in some parts, it’s worth the read.

I’ll keep the details to a minimum, but there was a lot of laughing, sore genitals, agreeing to “let’s just get this one over with” when presented with the more unrealistic positions, burning thighs, and many moments during which we wondered why… how… just why.
