Bought this book as a gift for a friend and they loved it... In fact they're talking about it so much I think I'm going to buy a copy for myself!

From time immemorial doing the nasty has been cumbersome. Not just getting some, but the proper, sanctioned, socially acceptable way to do so. Now that the Internets have blown the lid off privacy, as we fumble around with each others zippers, thank heavens the AFBOS has delivered this obviously well-researched tome. Now we have a reputable guide to getting IT, not getting IT, and everything IN BETWEEN. With some stupidly funny and smart tips -- I particularly liked the pick up lines not to use, especially the ones involving Phil Collins albums. This is important and useful stuff. If only Oedipus had been my Facebook friend -- I would have sent him a link to this puppy and, before he was blind (he was the guy who became blind right?) he could have read it and laughed and Dr. Freud would have just kept working on bruises and things would have better for all of us. But we had to wait till now. So. What I'm saying is. I like.

Open the cover of Sex: Our Bodies, Our Junk and enter a weird, hilarious world, where human sexuality gets the absurd treatment it deserves -- peppered with spot-on pop culture references and humor so sharp you might feel a little guilty even as you're laughing out loud. (For all you raised-Catholics, this guilt response when contemplating sex will probably feel familiar. Comforting.) The authors, a group called the Association for the Betterment of Sex, manage to combine lowbrow and highbrow into something altogether new and different (fauxbrow?). Smart humor for smart people, with great Joy of Sex-ish illustrations (only funny, ungross, and un-reminding you of your parents in the 70s). I'll be buying multiple copies as gifts.

This book is genuinely funny. If you are offended by sexual content and explicit language, obviously you shouldn't buy it. If, however, you think 'junk' is just plain funny and you're not easily offended this book's for you. There is a decidedly masculine spin on it, but that's part of what makes it amusing; the mysteries of girl 'junk' are still some enigmatic entity, always beyond the grasp of the male mind, addressing the "alleged female 'orgasm'". The book reads like a Sex for Dummies manual, including all aspects of human sexuality and the problems that may arise. It alerts the reader to important symptoms of virginity-loss such as the "new spider-like abilities". One learns the art of 'peacocking,' how to discuss sex at work, and how well a shrimp farm works as
contraception. The anatomical renderings of the male and female...er...areas are reason alone to buy the book, but it's just a gem overall. I'm not doing this book justice. I don't know how anyone can.

If you love random, irreverent absurdity and prefer humor that is politically incorrect and generally offensive to others, buy this book. Not for taking to the office. Keep out of reach of children.

I like comedy and sex. It took a masturbatory stroke of genius to combine the two, and the rewards are plentiful. This book is laugh out loud funny for anyone who's ever had an erection or just aspired to. And the ladies like it too. Just ask my real doll. (After getting my permission).

Did anyone say this book tickles their funny boner yet?

Anyway, by pretending not to be terribly smart or politically correct, this book offers some very sophisticated and hilarious insights into humanity's struggle to navigate the labyrinth of sexuality with as few hurt feelings or fatalities as possible.

Highly recommended.

And my wife often tells me I don't even HAVE a penisbone - THAT'S how funny this book is! I think I can neatly assess this book with the following summation: If you've ever indulged in the joy of giving a Hot Carl, you will love this book. If you've ever indulged in the joy of receiving a Hot Carl, you will love virtually anything.

It's tough to do sexy humor right, but these guys hit the (sorry) g-spot with this funny guide. The awesome cover art doesn't even compare to what's inside: a hilarious how-to, complete with wonderful, instructional diagrams. Thank you to the Association for the Betterment of Sex for all the laughs. Can't wait to see what you guys do next...

Hilarious book that tells you everything you need to know about how to have better sex. Great writers dealing with an inherently (if unintentionally) funny subject. Whatever your weird insecurity/deficiency, this book probably deals with it. After all, if humor writers aren't experts on great sex, then who is?

Proof that it pays to approach sex with a sense of humor! That's how these five guys, who make up The Association for Betterment of Sex (ABS), decided to clear up the confusion caused by middle-school curriculum and pornographic playing cards.

Here, they take on the mission of teaching you about sex, "as a sexy, intelligent person deserves to be taught." Together, these five authors toss out just the right mix of sex, humor, and parody to pull this off. Being men, of course, they begin "Sex: Our Bodies, Our Junk" with the most talented appendage, the penis. "It greets each day with a sun salutation, announcing itself stiff and proud..." or not. Use the book to learn the truth and spread a few myths about the big `O' and the "Calmer Sutra," something you're not likely to find in another sex manual. But then, why waste time reading another sex manual? This one wins... hands down.

They would gargle with hysterics! Sex is often the subject of humor due to the carnal and requisite stature in our society. Because we all do it, or at least try to, we all can relate to jokes on the subject. Unfortunately, many of these attempts at humor are tired and outdated. Not this book. The interplay between sex and humor in this book are seamless and fused like nothing I have ever read before. The format is fresh and exciting and the content is unmatched by anything I have ever, ahem, read on the subject. This book is not to be missed.
