The Dr. Drew and Adam Book: A Survival Guide To Life and Love
Here's the ultimate guide to life for the millennium, packed with advice on love and sex and everything else you're too embarrassed to talk about--sometimes X-rated, always real --for today's generation, today's relationships, and tomorrow's world. As the hosts of the late-night radio program and MTV sensation LoveLine, straight-talking physician Dr. Drew Pinsky and comedian Adam Carolla have become the duo you depend on for answers to questions about relationships going sour, truly embarrassing sexual problems, the dilemmas of finding the right partners... or dumping the wrong one.
In this first-of-its-kind guide, Dr. Drew gives you answers you can trust. Adam strips off the sugarcoating with wisecracking candor. Worried about masturbation? Virginity? Sexual etiquette? HIV and AIDS? You'll find real advice and more, including. . . the secret guys need to know to understand women sexually. . . how to help a friend who is threatening suicide. . . how to have good sex, maybe even great sex--or at least sex that won't make you pregnant or endanger your health. . . . PLUS Dr. Drew's primer on STDs. . . Adam's rules for who is not allowed to have sex. . . the Gay or Lesbian Aptitude Test. . . sidebars, quizzes, myth busters, and more. . .

Love Dr. Drew of course...and Adam Corolla is hilarious! Miss them together on loveline. This book has great insight into how different men and women are, what an eye opener!

I read this book years ago, in college - it was ridiculous in parts, but informative and entertaining in general. I don't know if I'd enjoy it now though. On the show once they said that the original title of the book was supposed to be "Adam is from Mars, Drew is from Pasadena." That was a perfect, clever, witty title, and I don't understand why they changed it to something so boring and generic. Maybe they were worried about a lawsuit from the "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" author or something.
It's too bad that Adam and Drew are not working together anymore - they balanced each other out well. Separately they are both very annoying - Adam comes across as an obnoxious Neanderthal and Drew comes across as preachy and sanctimonious. They also came across that way when they worked together, but somehow they balanced each other out, and it made them both more tolerable.

Dr. Drew Pinsky and Adam Carolla: between the two of them you barely have to think for yourself.
This was what kept people of all ages and all walks of life glued to their radios in the Loveline days and it's what brings those people to a book about sex and relationships geared to young adults whether they fit that category or not.
If you already know you're a fan of one or both of the authors, it's a "must read" and probably a "must own". If not, stick with it only if you're interested in the previously mentioned subject matter.
Enjoy.

The advice in this book seems a little dated, but it brought back fond memories of staying up late to listen to Loveline at Shelly's house. Personal favorties: any episode with Bobcat Goldthwait. Hilarious.

I used to enjoy them until I read an eye-opening article in "Bitchfest" about Loveline...

A treat for any fan of Loveline.

not what i was expecting.

July 28, 2011Like reading a more focused version of Loveline (one where Adam doesn't go off on tangents, though that's at least half the fun of Loveline). More suited for teens, but adults can learn a lot too.

This is a great book for teenagers and even adults. It does have some lewd language so careful not to traumatize a kid with it. But, it has a lot of good information about how to talk about uncomfortable stuff. If a parent needs a some ideas what they should be talking to their child about during their teenage years, there is some great ideas. It’s also incredibly funny.
