Summary: An erudite guide to everyone's favorite subject.
Review: Everything you wanted to know about sex (and quite a bit you didn't), but were afraid to ask. Lots of interesting facts presented in a light-hearted manner -- the perfect bathroom companion. If nothing else, your vocabulary will become more colorful.The author did an excellent job of researching this book; unfortunately there are no end notes. If you like this book, consider buying the companion volume, "Death: A User's Guide" which is (believe it or not) equally light-hearted and entertaining. Fun reading!

Summary: A bit of fun. A bit of lore.
Review: I actually came upon this book today while I was working at a small bookstore and I had to buy it because I realized that I was flipping through it and creasing the binding. I took it home and had it read before my nightly activities. There were some parts that I couldn't keep from laughing outloud and other parts that lost my attention: as with sex, I guess. I suggest this book for any person who has an interest in sex. Ha. Great demographic, at least, to those people who want something with some shock value on their bookshelves: nothing can beat a bright pink book with the big black block letters of S-E-X ringing lound and clear for all to see!

Summary: Great & Very MEMORABLE Book!
Review: In searching for the perfect Christmas present, I came across this book and snatched it up b/c of the very eye-catching cover. Anyway, when I flipped through it -- I quickly fell in love the book. It covers a lot of the topics related with sex -- from animal kingdom sex (which BTW is quite interesting) to the history of sex, dildos, vibrators and it also has some information the prostitution, castration and whatnot. So yeah -- there's a lot of history and research put in this book... but that's not the great point -- the thing is, there are so many facts that you just didn't know until you read this book. From interesting tidbits like how 2 Taiwanese 78 yr. old grandmothers got arrested for prostitution to how some French guy left his 9 incher penis for his friend after he died... there are just a lot of outrageous to much more interesting things people have done in the past. Anyway, the only downfall 'bout this book is that it's just too short. Even though it's shy from 300 pages -- it's just not enough when covering an interesting subject like sex. But yah -- pick it up for its humorous and VERY interesting facts and whatnot. This is a GREAT stocking stuffer, b-day gift and well just about any other tame holiday out there. So yah, I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars! I knocked off a star b/c I felt that the book was a bit too short but it's VERY good. BTW, not only is this book great for the naughty people to curious seekers alike, but also for Anthropology and umm... History majors. The topic alone is most likely to interest anyone out there.
