If you're not easily offended, pick up this hilarious collection of essays by the straight, over-sexed David Sedaris. Jayson Gallaway lives and writes the life every straight man fantasizes about--from having sex on rubber sheets with a stripper, to snorting viagra to have sex with his nymphomaniac girlfriend, to dancing at an S&M club. You'll laugh until you cry. For the Maxim crowd, but women will love this view into the male psyche as well--Jayson isn't a cad, just a guy with a healthy libido and a curious sexual appetite.

If you are boring, oversensetive or easily offended don't read this book. just move on and forget you were ever here. If you have any sense of humor or personality at all you absolutely must read this book! And be sure you're not one to take anthing too seriously as morals & dignity have pretty much been thrown out the window by the end of the first chapter. It's hilarious and entertaining all the way through. the only way I can describe this story would be "Fear and Loathing in San Francisco." Worth the price of admission.

I'm sure that many are afraid of criticizing this book for fear of seeming prudish, but frankly the writing is just plain bad. The whole book sounds like he's tremendously thrilled at the idea of shocking his audience, and even if it were shocking that wouldn't be enough to sustain a novel. And for the love of god, will someone tell him that just because they're called 25 cent words doesn't mean that he's paid 25 cents every time he uses one? This author would have been better off continuing to write fan-fiction. At least fan-fiction is concise and free.

There's an article in the East Bay Express that does a much better of job expressing why I found this book so boring. (...)

Charles Bukowski fans should pick up this pithy journey down Gallaway's personal nine circles of Hell. Gallaway's _Diary_of_a_Viagra_Fiend is a frank commentary on twenty first century American society where even social rebellion has been appropriated by those trying to make a buck. Will Gallaway join the masses? Or will he find a way to stay true to his principles without starving. For the Cause!

This is a truly hilarious read for the adventurous and not-easily-offended reader. There is no redemption here - and that is OK, because you will be laughing all the way through, both at the stories and at the faces of the passersby as they read the title of the book you're perusing. Great, great fun.

This book is probably one of the funniest things i have ever read...i am seriously unable to put this thing down...the book is extremely enjoyable and is filled with so much wit and sarcastic humor. Gallaway is truly a great comedic writer and i look forward to his future work
