Book Description

Publication Date: October 5, 2006

These are definitely not your daily paper's crossword puzzles. Conceived by the devious minds at Nerve.com, these 50 puzzles test the old S.Q. (that's sexual quotient). What's a five-letter word for well endowed? In what country is oral sex illegal? Who was the first woman to expose a nipple on TV? Of course, not all the clues in Naughty Crosswords relate to sex. These puzzles test a wide range of knowledge, from geography (63 Across: One of the U.S. Virgin islands) to pop culture (47 Down: Twins who became legal on June 13, 2004) to politics (52 Across: Place where Bill and Hillary started screwing, presumably). Ok, so maybe they're mostly about sex. But that's what makes it so much fun! The Wire-O format makes it handy to write in no matter where you are. With four levels of difficulty and themes ranging from S&M to virginity, Naughty Crosswords revels in the fact that, when it comes to sex, no trivia is too trivial.

I tore out the answers in the back and gave it as part of a gift package. I thought he would call me begging for answers. Good gift but I was told it doesn't follow regular crossword rules. You must think outside the box.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you want good crosswords, don't buy this book, November 26, 2008

The crosswords are filled with lots of funny, kinky, sexy words. Luckily there's plenty of good words to use to describe things like semen, sex, words used during orgasm. It's fun to do with a partner.

But the crosswords are really bad, in that the easy ones are too hard due to obscure or just bad clues. I can do NY Times crossword puzzles up to Tuesday, and the easy ones in this book just aren't easy enough. They're amusing, yes, but once you realize how much a pain it is to solve the Easy ones, you may only be opening this book up for a laugh.

Naughty Crosswords: Nerve.com Presents Fifty Sexy and Outrageous Puzzles

I received this book as a "cheer" gift while recouperating from Chemo. It's lots of fun, even better with a partner!!! Seems like we "ladies" can't think of the "dirty words" as quickly as the guys seem to!! Enjoyed it so much I bought one as a gift for another "naughty" girl!! Some of the puzzles are difficult, good challenges, but hey, there's always the answer sheet!!!
