Having received considerable notoriety over the years, "Wet Goddess" was always one of those books you assumed was nothing more than a punchline to a very bad joke. After all, inter-species relationships are often always just that, jokes: social taboos which merit scorn or ridicule and never things to be taken seriously.
For a while I toyed with the idea of actually reading it, just to say I have, and eventually I decided to "take the plunge" and picked up a copy from Amazon. From my understanding all copies are personally signed by the author, which is a nice personal touch.
My honest evaluation? This book disturbs me, but not in the way you'd think. What I find most disturbing about Wet Goddess is not simply the surface-level prospect of a relationship between a human being and the second most intelligent organism on the planet, but rather the questions it raises and my inability to answer them. I was forced to question a lot of things while reading Wet Goddess, and unfortunately I feel as though my impenetrable armor of "zoophilia is always abusive" has been dented in the process.
At our core I believe we are a very arrogant species, yet for a planet composed primarily of water we know so little about the vast oceans and the species which inhabit it. We like to think we know everything there is to know about our world and the creatures which inhabit it, but the truth is, we don't and probably never will.
A fair warning: this book will to take you places you may not want to go, and make you ask yourself questions you may not like the answers to. The one eternal and terrifying question regarding inter-species relationships is as follows: Can an animal be deemed sentient and intelligent enough to consent to a sexual act? We always assume the answer is incontrovertibly "no", not primarily based on logic or any amount of scientific data or evidence (because of course, none exists to prove beyond a reasonable doubt no animal is capable of sentience), but rather because we're afraid of what would happen if the answer turns out to be "yes".
