	Sex in the Outdoors by Buck Tilton  Menasha Ridge Press, 2005.
	Yes, this is really a book about having sex in the outdoors. No, it is not pornographic or overly suggestive or particularly titillating.		Without adequate insulation, sex in snow can be a challenge, but so what? -- nothing risked, nothing gained.
	Instead, this is a great health education primer for outdoorspeople delivered in a humorous style under the guise of a sexual instruction manual.

Buck Tilton expounds on the wonders of outdoor sex in this book and dispurses a string of sexual innuendoes, puns and one-liners (i.e., what are your chances of finding a partner for sex in the outdoors on the trail? "If the person who stops is naked and it's winter, your chances are really, really good"). But the book is also filled with sound advice on physical fitness and appropriate clothing, avoiding frostbite and stinging insects, and what to do if you get sunburned, experience symptoms of hypothermia or, heaven forbid, suffer testicular torsion.		If you really want to re-establish your active membership in the brotherhood and sisterhood of all fauna (and flora, for that matter) you should be having sex in the outdoors. Next time you're doing "it" in the outdoors, think of your act as a ceremonial rite, a bonding of yourself to the natural world. Let yourself be in contact with the rhythm of the universe through the rhythmic movement of your personal dance of this most natural act. Let yourself feel, through your emotional high, the threads connecting you to the cosmos. Let yourself join, through your coming together, the fertile continuum of all life -- even if you've decided to put a stopper in, or on, your personal fertility.
	Certainly adult in content and occasionally sophomoric in its humor, Tilton's text reminds us that sex is natural... even in nature.
