Fairly useless as a sex book or a fitness book, taken separately. Their combination is certainly worth a few laughs, and some of you lazy fuckers might get more out of it than I did, but sadly there just wasn't much substance here for me.
Perhaps I'm not its target audience. I'm active almost every day, and rarely does this interfere with my sex life — the conflict this book purports to resolve. Still, I'm glad I entered the giveaway regardless, because now I get to look at humorous illustrations of people "working out" while simultaneously working out.
Here's the thing, though: If you're doing it right, sex should make you sweat, burn calories, and help to tone your ass up whether you conceive of it as exercise or not. And if you're having sex regularly, then this is just another part of maintaining an active lifestyle. Now, don't get me wrong — there are some good tips for intensifying the physical exertion of sex in this book, sprinkled here and there betwixt all the bad puns, pop culture references, and completely ridiculous suggestions. All's I'm sayin' is that 1) a good fuck is already an athletic event in itself, 2) not every pair of activities imaginable warrants a mashup, and 3) I'd probably rather focus on stuff besides reps and sets when I'm balls deep, ya know?
Also, eating your partner's ass while they're bent over in front of you is really not all that revolutionary of a concept, however far they're stretching or however deep you're squatting. For the most part, this book reads more like a catalog of clichéd, shopworn fantasy situations, or a position manual for the particularly jaded/uninspired, than anything actually intended to teach you good sex or effective exercise techniques.
Another problem with this book is that it seems to be completely geared toward heterosexual couples. I suppose there's a different aisle for LGBTQ sex-fitness books, but assuming that a good sense of humor has some correlation with a good degree of tolerance (I believe it does), I would've liked to have seen a broader range of stuff n' thangs represented here as well.
And furthermore, why the hell does it say "Drugs, alcohol, [etc] are antithesis to Sexual Fitness" in the very first chapter, but not even 50 pages in, homeboy's puffin' on a spliff while doin' her doggy style? If you're gonna be all anti-drug n' shit, at least be consistent. Annnd just a few pages later, we have large glasses of wine nearby, just waiting to be spilled as she straddles his face. Hey, my kinda party, but did this book even have an editor?
Not all that impressed, but then again, it's hard to imagine why anyone would take a book like this all that seriously in the first place. Though it did compel me to enter the GR giveaway, which means either I'm a pervert or...
...okay I am a pervert.

So I received this book free through Goodreads First Reads in exchange for my honest review. Here we go:
All in all, I enjoyed the read. It's a fast read with comic-type art of the figures in the poses that are being described so you can get a visual aid. It lists the muscles being worked for both the male and female and gives you some ideas to modify it for more of a burn/workout.
I haven't practiced what I've read but some exercises do seem like they would be quite a workout. The humor throughout the book is mostly crude but I was expecting it to be so all in all I found myself enjoying it while reading. There are a couple of pages at the back of the book dedicated to nutrition and a workout schedule as an example plus a page or two for you to make your own workout schedule using the exercised depicted in the book.
So honestly, would this be the book I would turn to if I wanted a book on sexual fitness? Probably not. But did I enjoy reading it still? Absolutely. So altogether, I'm giving it three out of five stars. If you can find the book in a library to read, then go for it. I don't know that I would've gone out to buy this book though.
And that's my honest review.

***Won in a GoodReads First Reads giveaway***
First and foremost, this is a comedy book. A lighthearted way to explain a few different sex positions, some authentic and some imaginative. To take this book any more seriouly is a mistake. Are there some techniques that could burn more calories or work muslce groups? Yes, but certainly to get a decent workout, one must focus on the muscle group in a proper way and not just while boning and humping.
The book is sectioned into increasingly difficult maneouvres. Some where the female is doing more work and vice versa. Every position is depicted female and male, but I suppose in certain situations same sex couples could do similar stuff. But then again to try and say this book fails because it is not progressive and did not address all that stuff is kind of like saying a book by Stephen Colbert fails because it shows liberals in a negative light. True or not, this book is not meant to be taken seriously.
Each pose is illustrated with faceless people in a cartoon style with different muscle groups highlighted to show what is being worked. A description of each pose and tips on how to get the most value are also included. Some of the funnier poses include costumes on the people to help illustrate the point (not needed in reality but certainly adds to the comedic value of the book).
Having said all of the above, this book is what it is, a comedic look at trying to solve a "problem" and combining two things at once. Perhaps this concept works better when combining exercise and productive office work as in those treadmil desks, but who knows, perhaps there is some good to come out of this merging as well.

I recieved this First Reads Goodreads Giveaway book for an honest review.
I won this book on a giveaway and thought it would be interesting to flip through. It says it like it is. This book has various positions described for your fitness and pleasure. There are pictures depicting the different positions as well as highlighted areas of the muscles being worked on. There's humor in the artwork, they are like mini-comics. On top of that, the back of the book has a schedule that you can adapt to your needs and an interesting nutrition section of just two pages.

I received this book in a giveaway from Goodreads. It is an entertaining look at many, many, many.... ways to utilize sexual positions as a daily workout. The positions range in difficulty from easy to acrobatic! I don't know if I could personally purport to workout while having sex though. Seriously, who wants to think about what muscles you should be stretching and flexing while trying to find the way to your happy place?

This was OK but I don't appreciate much of the humor. Also, the last third or so should only be done by professional gymnasts.
