Sex Advice From...

by Nerve.com

Ever wondered if cowboys do it with their boots on? What music a record store clerk plays while going at it? What's really happening up there in the projection booth during the movie? Sex Advice From... bypasses the experts and hits the streets (and the farm, and the runway) for advice on the way we really do it. Featuring perfectly respectable photos of real people with interesting jobsand even more interesting sex livesthis book collects interviews from more than 200 willing participants. Before sending their brave correspondents into the trenches, the editors at Nerve.com spent weeks locked inside the Nerve war room drawing up a comprehensive list of questions about all things sexdirty talk, home movies, hygiene, foreplay, blowjobs, anal techniques, and threesomes, to name just a few. The correspondents then traveled far and wide in search of novel advice. They spoke to bloggers, tour guides, lifeguards, pool cleaners, sideshow performers, and ex-pats living all over the globe. The result? This chunky paperback chock-full of everything you ever wanted to know about sex but were too afraid to ask the salesman at your local car dealership.

This book I liked.

I like the way the editors solicited sex advice from ordinary people and grouped those people according to profession, making it possible to learn what advice male models or slam poets or competitive eaters have to give.

I like the way everyone's advice was a little bit different.

I like that this book doesn't have a plot, that I was able to read the whole thing by skipping around. Although the book is fairly thick, I read it quickly due to lots of white space.

I like that Dennis M. Dailey, sexuality professor at KU, is included in this book. (I've taken two sex classes with Dr. Dailey. He is awesome!)

I wish I owned a copy of this book. (I borrowed the copy I read through interlibrary loan.) Feel free to give me this book as a gift.

An enjoyable read, could be better- it's no Studs Terkle piece, but we had fun reading it over beers aloud one night.

[Maurice · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spectacular spectating of varying views when it comes to sex, dating and relationship.

[Eclair · Rating 2 out of 5]

A triumph.

A book that makes sex intensely boring.

[Christopher · Rating 4 out of 5]

Amusing and occasionally informative

[Karah · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lighthearted collection of everyday people revealing their opinions about sex.

Listen to everyday people for a change. There's so many of them that they would know how to make sex fun. (no sarcasm)
