Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Having "peeked through the keyhole of our collective bedrooms," "sexologist" Morrissey (Sex in the Time of Generation X) reveals naughty secrets and probes every corner of our carnal lives in this self-described "sexpos‚." Currently heading the Sexology program at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia, Morrissey draws largely from interviews of her countrymen, supplementing their anonymous, leave-nothing-to-the-imagination remarks with quasi-historical details, sex surveys, quizzes, Kinsey statistics and a resource guide. Despite the eye-catching cover and humorous, slang-filled narrative, Morrissey does provide frank, practical advice in such chapter headings as Speedy Gonzales (premature ejaculation), Master of Your Domain (pleasing yourself) and Little Boy Blue Lost His Wood (understanding and solving erectile problems). While many topics may hit home with readers (such as "virtual cheating" via the Internet, birth control options and efficacy rates, and tips on spicing up stale sex lives), some information-such as how to break into the porn industry, caloric value of ejaculate, and disadvantages to sex while high on Special K, mushrooms, or ecstasy-seems less useful, even for the young, experimental demographic to which this book is targeted.

Review

'Give in to every desire you've ever had, wondered about, fantasized about, or played out, with Dr. Gabrielle Morrissey's 400+ page sexual tell-all. From pick-up lines and one-night stands to foreplay, masturbation, and multiple orgasms -- it's all in there. Dr. Morrissey even delves into less travelled forms of fornication, including "spidersex", drug use, and even -- gasp -- celibacy. No matter how you carve your coitus, Urge fulfills your wanton need.' Play Girl magazineMore than just a sex manual, Urge cuts through medical jargon to deliver sound sexual health advice; it explores the ins and outs of the adult sex industry and surfs through erotica on the internet, against a backdrop of tips and tricks that Cosmo girls will be glad to have at their bedside. Brilliant bedtime reading.' Cosmopolitan
