4.0 out of 5 stars Humorous sex with a deadpan face., May 22, 2000

By	John Barry Kenyon (Pattaya City, Chonburi Thailand) - See all my reviews

Any book with the word "Useless" in the title can hardly be criticized for content. But this is actually a surprisingly tasteful dip into what the human race has been doing in and out of bed since the year dot. Chapter titles such as The Unkindest Cut Of All, Animal Lust and Sexual Healing say it all. How the author actually knows that reproductive women have sex three thousand times on average in their life or that Casanova ate fifty oysters for breakfast is not made clear. However, Cosmopolitan magazine is mentioned as a source more than once. There are many memorable one liners here. When Gore Vidal was asked if the first person he had sex with was male or female, he apparently replied that he had been too polite to ask. If other people's sex lives interest you, and they do tend to be more interesting than yours, you are in for a sensational read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Bathroom Reader, February 23, 2000

By	Simon Troy (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews

After hearing about this book on the radio, I ordered it from Amazon and enjoyed the heck out of it from the first page to the last. It's the kind of book that you can pick up anytime, turn to any page and find some kind of short, entertaining tidbit, from the mildly amusing to the 'oh-my-goodness-I-can't-believe-that's-true' factoid. While it's never graphic or uses course language, it's not what you'd want to get for your Amish friends or overly prudish relatives. But if you're comfortable reading Maxim or Cosmo, than this is the perfect book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some interesting, some just creepy, August 8, 2003

By A Customer

Read all of the facts in this book. Some of them will make you laugh out loud. Others ... will really make you think. A great book - lots of good trivia questions!
