Review: Annie Sprinkle (Ellen) has lived an incredible life, many of the highlights of which are included in this astonishing book. If you`re looking to be inspired, don`t miss out on Annie`s wisdom on all things sexual. A modern goddess - many thanks Ellen, I learnt so much from your book : Betty Dodson, David Ramsdale, Jwala etc Col

Summary: A porn legend laid bare
Review: Annie Sprinkle is legendary in early porn and for good reason. This book will help you understand why. It was interesting all the way through and the woman has definitely lived an incredible life. You may not agree with Annie's views or lifestyle, but you should support her First Amendment right to do so. I have a problem with public tax dollars funding the NEA though. One man's art is another man's bird cage lining. Successful artists in any society/time period create what the public wants just like any other profession. So why are they eligible for a public handout? I don't consider what Annie does as art, but that's my opinion. She sure is the subject of a great story though!

Summary: A cool lady with a sharp wit
Review: Having heard the likes of Cal Thomas and Senator Jessie Helms rally against her and then seeing her on Politically Incorrect and seeing how articulate and funny she is I can't recommend this book enough.Why is it the funniest and brightest women are the ones who take calculated risks and are not afraid of their own raw sexuality? You do not have to become a full fledged fan of Ms Sprinkle but at least read what she has to say and become a more enlightened human being.

Summary: Of *course* she's smiling . . .
Review: She's Annie Sprinkle! And she's done favulous work with this book. An autobiographical romp through the sex industry, Post-Porn Modernist is hilarious and touching. Most people (of those who have heard of her) think that Annie Sprinkle derived her nom-de-porn from her golden shower scenes in her early film, Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle, but Annie debunks that myth on page ten with her tribute to her namesake. It is, of course, wonderfully ironic that "Sprinkle" fits her career history so perfectly. A mix of stories, photos and lists ("The Sprinkle Salon Guest Book," "101 Uses for Sex"), Post-Porn Modernist touches on a little of everything: the porn industry, AIDS, art, transexuality, burlesque. The section titled "Erotic Bible Reading" is especially fun. In it, Annie writes of such a reading she gave in which she read from the first book of Genesis. She says her personal favorite line was, "it was gooood." Annie Sprinkle is a legend in the porn industry, and has used her experiences to further the lovely idea of sex positivity. And it certainly is "gooooood."

Summary: Amazing Woman With an Amazing Tale (Pun Intended)
Review: The first thing I noticed was Annie's smile on the cover. I think, "Hey, wait a minute...this book is about sex. Why is she smiling?" In other words, I'm in the puritanical Southern United States and sex isn't something not to be ashamed of...especially if it's not performed solely for your spouse...and as a duty.Annie's outlook is a positive, healthy approach to sex, though some will debate that, I'm sure. I had my girlfriend buy the book for me as a birthday gift and have been fascinated by it ever since. It's common sense sexuality, with just a twist of kink. Annie liberated my stodgy thinking about sex and I'm grateful for it!
