Author's Message/Warning:

I'd like to start out by saying that, yes, I am female. I'm writing this as part of the Sphinx Challenge and I don't have much personal experience on the topic of this manual. Because of that, I had to quite a bit of research.

This manual is basically a Gryffindor guide that is mentioned in several fics. Sphinx originally came up with the idea in one of her fics. Her work can be found at: /profile.php?userid28452 Since Quidditch in Bed was first mentioned, it has been referred to in several fan fictions. Its scheme was eventually expanded by Riley () who added length and chapter titles in Pawn to Queen. Please note: I doubt I will be using Riley's suggested length of 200 pages for this fic. The ideas and philosophies of the book have expanded and grown with each fic it is mentioned in. I take no credit for the idea of Quidditch in Bed. I have just taken the liberty of actually writing it. My version of Quidditch in Bed has pretty accurate information presented from a Quidditch player's point of view and it will hopefully fit into Sphinx's criteria. You could very well apply this manual to your own life. However, I take no responsibility if something goes wrong.

This manual contains many sexual euphuisms. These are strictly euphuisms and are not vulgar. This fic falls completely within the guidelines of . However, it probably shouldn't be read by those who feel uncomfortable on the topic of sex. I also wouldn't recommend reading it if you are under 16.

Keep in mind, prologues are almost always boring. Even confusing at some times. Believe me, it gets much funnier when the story actually begins.

And here is just some basic advice: When polishing your broomstick or trying to get the Quaffle through the hoop, don't do anything stupid. If it hurts or seems dangerous, it probably shouldn't be done.

P.S. This book is directed to males. Gals, you could use it as a way to learn how to please your man if you want.

A note across the review box to Starlitskye - the answer to your question lies in the Author's Notes (does nobody read Authors' Notes??)of both this and Riley's 'Pawn to Queen': 'Quidditch in Bed' was invented by neither of these writers, but by me, in a little fic called 'Why Slytherins Are Sexier', which can be found here at ffnet under 'Sphinx'. I put out a challenge about six months ago for people actually to write this fictional sex guide.

Nifty lil' diddy... really funny! I'd give it an 8 or 9, maybe 10 depending on the next chapters! . ... On another note so you're name's Addi/Addy/Adi too? Weird. I never thought the name was THAT popular. Anywho, update soon!

My goodness, woman. I am laughing so hard (in my head, in reality I'm just gasping for air, since it's WAY past bedtime for me and I shouldn't be up) This is BRILLIANT. You are a genius. I cannot press how funny this is, I am still clutching my sides. My God, just... brilliant. Only now I keep wondering did you take the idea from Riley's Pawn To Queen or did Riley take the idea from you or are you collaborating? It doesn't even matter to me, this is just too damned FUNNY!!

8. Not all that funny, and a bit confusing. How can women have broomsticks, in that sense. You should know what I mean.

Oh my goodness! This is hilarious, and very accurate! I love the innuendo and the recommendation by Ludo Bagman just cracked me up... elbow, you say? I always thought he was a W"&r of the first order! I'm impressed by the dedication you show to your readers, to actually research this topic in so much detail. grins Please continue, maybe a bit on locating the elusive Golden Snitch?

Well that told me a great deal about wanking that I've had the fortune not to , um, come across before. Loved the bit about men boasting that they don't polish their broom cos they get the quaffle through the hoop at every match. This was really very - thorough - (you DID do your research, I'm impressed, no really...) What I liked was how very Gryffindor it was in its 'This is all Healthy and Natural' attitude (just as Severus says it is in WSAS.) Cheers, you'vfe made my day.

Infamous? Mentioned in dozens of stories? I've only received two requests for a mention of my invention since "Why Slytherins Are Sexier" - the ficlet that brought "Quidditch in Bed" into being - was posted last Summer...I'm DELIGHTED someone's taken up the challenge. I'm well chuffed that QIB has become a - er- Fact Of Harry Potter Life. I believe JL Matthews is also working on a version, and I received another "Can I?" request recently. Go gals! (But would appreciate any writers wanting to ref QIB to acknowledge their source...) Right, am off to read "Polishing Your Broomstick" (snicker. This does look as though it's gonna be, um, authentic. Not that I'"d know of course. I couldn't write QIB if I tried, though I'm having a go at bits of Salomé Slytherin's "A Discourse on Luvve's Expresscioun" - more my kinda thang. Good luck with it and keep me posted on your progress - TS
