As an ardent First Amendment supporter and a feminist scholar who has done lots of research on sex work, porn, etc., I fully support women who enjoy "regular" porn, or feminist porn that includes, well, sex, as this book does not. But to the reviewers who slammed this particular book for its "offensive" assumption that women only find housework sexy, I think you're missing the point.
The book is not reifying the notion that women do not like sex. Nor are they claiming that "regular" porn and this brand of "porn" are mutually exclusive, or that women can't appreciate both. They are merely expanding the concept of what's considered sexy, what can be considered a turn-on, and what can be defined as sensual. Rather than narrowly define what is sexy as that which is explicitly sex-oriented (and such a narrow definition would be more offensive, I would think, than any photo in this book), this book evokes a spectrum, and encourages people to find the sensual in the everyday. And c'mon, anything that can make dull chores more exciting should be celebrated!
Yes, it's cheesy and some of the photos/quotes are even cringe-worthy. But that just adds to the campy appeal. But it's also a lighthearted, silly gift book, so there's no need (for detractors or even for me, reading so much into it) to take it so darn seriously. If it's not your idea of fun, simply don't purchase it.

About the author
This. Is. Perfect.
For one, I find it odd that people are offended by this. Men stare at naked women in playboy/porn/etc and it is consider normal. Heaven forbid us women drool over a man fully clothed with a vacuum in hand. How dare us. Anyhow, I bought this as a Christmas present for my best friend. I can not wait to give it to her! The book is such great quality and I know it is going to provide many, many giggles and laughs. I'm going to order more to give as little gifts for birthdays and such. Worth it! You womnt regret this purchase!
