5.0 out of 5 stars Sexual Sanity Now!, October 6, 2000

This review is from: The Lov-ed Solution (Paperback)

Maybe you can't trust me--I wrote the book! I'm hoping that like The Harrad Experiment, a few million baby boomers who loved Harrad--and more millions of their kids will read The Lov-ed Solution. Unlike most of the novels and tv garbage published today about moronic teenagers,and sexual adults ( see Sex and the City-Grosse Point--) Lov-eds are not Generation X'ers. They are The Probing Generation--and there are millions of them out there who will, in the next 25 years, create new approaches to secondary education, with a Guaranteed Undergraduate Work/Study education for EVERY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE with C grades or better. And graduate four years later with Bachelor or Associate Degrees and no loans, or debt to pay! And the OPTION of rooming with with different members of the other sex, race and culture,WITH LOTS OF CARING SEX--BUT NO MARRIAGE COMMITMENT. Read Lov-ed and learn the fun of coed basket ball, and baseball--the major sports of a sexually sane future,and enjoy UPBEAT SEX---with young people who want to really live, learn and love. It's story that would make a top tv series, or a movie. And check my website, and help me with my war against all the major publishers, includng Bantam, who refused to read or publish The Lov-ed Solution

He intended at first to mentor a younger author. Good thing he scrapped that idea and tackled it himself, though--only Bob Rimmer can do a Bob Rimmer book. I've yet to see anyone else deal with zero-hangup sex without coming across like soft core porn. We might have wound up with "Candy--The Next Generation". On the cover is a statement that it's a sequel to "The Harrad Experiment" and "The Premar Experiments". This book is more like "Harrad" in the way it deals with sponsored co-ed rooming arrangements in the college environment-"Premar" applied similar concepts to the nonacademic world. Rimmer has been accused of "social engineering" any number of times, and I've yet to read any specific denials in any of his prefaces or forewords. He does, however, avoid falling into the trap of fixating on issues that any given era's Americans might dismiss as cliché. For example, the early-70s "Premar" very pointedly focused on race as one of its primary issues (We see several characters from "Premar" here, now middle-aged and in counselor and faculty roles). Nowadays, though, there is a certain impatience with the ethnic issue in society (which saddens me, but how do I know I'm not just being a `60s dinosaur?), so Rimmer focuses more on intellectual disparity: C-average students rooming with straight-A types. The gulf between "collegiate" and "shop major" as a profound social issue is a new one on me--like most people, I'd always dismissed it as a "kid thing" even as a kid. We knew it had limited validity outside school-but when in Rome, do as the...er...Romulans do. Which side discriminated more against the other depended on where you stood. Rimmer's touched this base before, though--in "Love Me Tomorrow" with its futuristic Eloi-versus-Morlock relationship between the learned and the "grunts". The issue of women in traditionally male-dominated sports is addressed here, along with a play-by-play account of a co-ed basketball game. Other than that, we've seen a lot of this before-a rich girl from a dysfunctional family, a former school nerd who's going to be a doctor, the cops busting in at the end of the game and slapping the cuffs on everybody in sight for lewd and lascivious behavior, yadda-yadda. I guess the secret of appreciating this book is that a number of fresh issues--intellectual disparity being but one-are addressed here. One thing that made me go "say WHAT", though, was that one of the students is named--I kid you not--Jorge Jefferson. Maybe this dates me, but the song started running through my head--"Well we're movin' on up, to the east side...". Despite the fact that the Spanish name doesn't sound a bit like its English counterpart, I kept waiting for him to nickname his roommate "Weezie".
