Anyone who can't laugh about sex probably isn't doing it right. By that reasoning, Foglio depicts it done very well. (If it's not a laughing matter for you, just skip the book and the rest of this review.)

Volume 5 continues Foglio's visual exploration of the funny side of sex, collected from comic books printed some years ago. It's a series of short stories, all with fantasy or science fiction themes, allowing a lot of room to explore outrageous ideas. That means, for example, that the reader should have a liberal attitude towards dating outside of one's species.

Like the other XXXenophile books, this expresses a generally happy and consensual approach to adult play. The overall goofiness assures that the plots won't be taken too seriously. For example, most people wouldn't think that a dark spirit, sent to enforce an evil curse, would be open to seduction. Well, I guess dark spirits have to have a love life, too.

None of the short stories are especially memorable, but that makes them easy to enjoy more than once. That's what makes this a book worth owning, the fact that it can be funny more than once.
