Product Description

The guide you'll want to read with one hand!

Look out Zagat! Take heed Fodor's and Gayot! Now there's something fleshier, meatier, beef-cakier. Los Angeles is the undisputed porn capital of the world, and Horny? Los Angeles strips down the city to its bare essentials. Where: to take that hottie you can't take home to mama. What: to wear under that Diane von Furstenburg wrap dress or to the annual Fetish Ball. When: to tip your lap dancer and how much. Why: that stripper who's totally digging you is not going home with you tonight. How: to meet the co-ed, stud, swinger, goth chick, rocker, agent, bookworm, or slut of your dreams.

Covering Los Angeles, Hollywood, The Valleys, South Bay, Orange County, and beyond, Horny? offers hundreds of strip clubs, singles scenes, specialty lingerie boutiques, and nude beaches; plus a peek into S&M dungeons and fetish toy shops!

When you're in the mood look no farther than Horny?.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Well-Designed, Interesting Topics, Fast Read!, January 10, 2002

By	Steve Nakamoto "The Friendly Voice of the... (Huntington Beach, California USA) - See all my reviews

As a relationship author from Los Angeles, I found this book to be a real eye-catcher. This book is beautifully designed from a book production point-of-view and is a handy guide for sexually curious people.

It seems like more of a guy's book, but there are lots of contributions from women in this fascinating collection of sexy ideas. While topless bars may not be of interest or value to most women and even some guys, I found the "Rules of the Lap Dance: Do's & don'ts from a private dancer" to be a good read. There's also information of hotspots in not-to-far San Francisco, Las Vegas, Tijuana, and Palm Springs.

It's also like a restaurant guide or tour book except that the establishments serve up a different kind of menu. That menu includes strip clubs, porn shops, adult toy stores, lingerie shops, spas/massage parlors, some kinky history, porn star interviews, singles bars, escort services, late-night pick-up joints, stories of rock star groupies, celebrity clubs, nude beaches, happening hotels, and even places to "make out." (Is this high school again?)

The publisher promises new editions for New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Las Vegas in the near future. That New York edition should give new meaning to "Sex and the City."

I give this a 5 star rating for the ideas it triggers and for the excellent formatting. But the real question is whether this information is really a benefit or just something interesting to read about. As a travel-tour book it's price of $18.95 may be in line. As something interesting to read, however, the price of the book is $4 too high.

In the meantime, this book should probably sell a ton regardless.

1.0 out of 5 stars Still Horny? Yes..after reading this book!, January 26, 2002

By	Aurelia Browning (Los angeles) - See all my reviews

This book is just a book mostly on strip clubs, shopping, and night clubs. This book might be good for men who are trying to locate the ultimate strip club, or where to pick up a bimbo, but for anything else...forghettaboutit! I personally bought the book to find out how they rated some of the swinging clubs, but there was only a mention of two. Out of all the swing clubs, underground sex clubs and parties out here in Los angeles...they only mention two. Oh yea..if youre looking for a good spa to get a facial or something, or shopping for sex toys and sexy clothes...its cool! But if youre looking for all the places where you can have some crazy sexual fun in Los Angeles... forgettaboutit! Keep looking!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hello Los Angeles!, February 1, 2002

By	Phelps Carnwright (On the Turnstiles, Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Voltaire once said "Work saves us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need." But hey, we all need some vice every now and then, mostly we need vice now! It seems like these two writers, Hundley and Guzik, really dug deep into the Los Angeles underbelly, did their gumshoe work and came out with an excellent guide to not only Sex, but dare I say, a great book on the beatific city of Los Angeles. This book has everything you'd ever want to know about Sex in Los Angeles, but didn't have the druthers, or knew the right questions, to ask. Also, the writing (funny as all get out) is worth the price of admission alone, not to mention all the sex info. Buy it and you won't be disappointed!
