     •  Disarming the over-toucher

     •  Accepting rejection gracefully

     •  Negotiating “ex sex”
 
With more than 60 scenarios that run the gamut from flirting to first date etiquette to oral sex, this refreshingly new take on social manners deals with the real-life etiquette questions everyone wonders about . . . but has been afraid to ask.
