Sleeping With Your Gynecologist: Tales from My Marriage to an Obgyn

by Marc Jaffe

What do you get when a Seinfeld writer marries an OB/GYN? A doctor with a funny delivery. Actually, lots of funny deliveries. Marc Jaffe's job was coming up with hysterical stories for Seinfeld, but nothing was funnier than the stories his gynecologist wife would tell. So, he decided to write this laugh-a-page book about life married to an Ob/gyn. It includes all the crazy stories his wife tells * Flying Placentas * Sex toy parties * Immaculate conceptions * Intimate tattoos * Ridiculous 4:00 am phone calls...and more comical incidents of gynecologic and obstetric intrigue. While sleeping with your gynecologist would be wrong, reading Sleeping With Your Gynecologist is very right.

It was genuinely funny at times, like laughing-out-loud-and-my-wife-wondering-what-the-hell-I-just-read funny. It's also outdated and cringy at times, with some jokes flying too close to sexism, transphobia and fatphobia for my taste.

Parts of this book were hilarious, parts were shocking, and parts were juvenile. I enjoyed the laughs and found parts of this book interesting but it seemed as though the author was just filling pages rather than writing a funny and informative book.

This book is so funny, that it should be made into a network sitcom. Marc Jaffe had the job of coming up with funny stories for the TV show, Seinfeld, but the stories his gynecologist wife would bring home were even funnier.

[Mazola1 · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was hilarious, even if sometimes its humor is juvenile. I laughed outloud more than once. Hint: Skip the introduction.

I loved it

This book was very well written and kept me in stitches. I hope you continue to write more humorous real life medical stories.
