Position of the Day is a fun
book of 365 diagrams of sexual positions.  Each position is just done in
outline, and most feature a man and a woman, although some feature two women or
other combinations.  The diagram also shows if particular furniture or
apparatus is needed: a doorframe, rocking chair, bed, chair, bench, wall, or
stool, for example.  On each page is an estimate of how many calories the
position will use up for the participants, it is hardly like to be
scientifically determined.  For each position, readers can rate whether it was
below average, above average, or "Whoa!" and there is space to write
comments, although you would have to use very small writing because the lines
are close together.  But these diagrams don’t seem so much designed for real
use as just for amusement: this is not a manual like the Joy of Sex. 
The best thing about the book is the titles given to each position.  Without
going into the details of the positions, it is possible to convey the book’s
sense of humor by mentioning a few: "The Blind Gynecologist,"
"The Pinocchio," "Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure,"
"The Seabiscuit," "The Crunch and Munch" and "How Dr.
Heimlich Got His Big Idea."
