4.0 out of 5 stars
Good smutty fun, December 6, 1999
Pitched in tone somewhere between a Cosmo Quiz and one of the raunchier Salon columns, this is a fun book and very difficult to put down once you pick it up. Always stimulating and often quite arousing, though rarely very specific or detailed, the book consist of a selection of short interviews with women who are not at all shy about talking about their (seemingly very active) sex lives. The author makes a point of asking each interviewee the fastest way to get her into bed. The most common response would seem to be, say hello, get me drunk, and make me laugh. Well, duh! Notwithstanding this advice, this is not a "how to get laid" manual. Unless I've led a much more sheltered life than I realized, these are women of somewhat - unusual - tastes and I would say the odds of running into anyone with these inclinations are pretty slim outside of a handful of specialist bars in one the larger metropolises. Assuming the author didn't just make up these characters, and the variations in tone would imply that this is not the case, I was left wondering exactly how he met these women. I would guess through ads in alternative news weeklies, swingers' magazines, etc. Can you say self selected sample? No big deal. There is no attempt at (social) scientific method or any other socially redeeming quality, this book just good, smutty fun, and a useful reminder of the almost infinite variety of human desire. And the cover photo is pretty cool.
