wow! I missed that! Doing a bit of Googling there, Paul?

I will reiterate--this is the best book of its kind I have ever read. Very thorough, informative, with humor, and well-designed. I like that it includes a section on piercing.

I didn't mind too much lending my copy to Daughter No. 1, since 1) she's having more sex than I am (cough) and 2) I plan to buy the newer edition!

Welcome to the Cellar Paul J., and now you will have to reveal how you found the thread!

Wish I could say it was pure genius. But there's this option with Google that you can sign up for. Every time the word, phrase, name, etc. that you put into it comes up on the Internet, it sends you the url.

One of the wonderful things about it is it helps me to become aware of all kinds of fascinating Internet communities. This one seems like the anti-MySpace. It has a very nice feel to it. Most I won't register for, because I already get more spam than I can handle. But this one had a nice enough sense to it that I felt it was worth it to thank Lab Rat for his/her kind words about my book.

Welcome. You'll get no spam from this site.

Or at least, I haven't. But it's only been four years; maybe Undertoad is just biding his time...

you know he's just sitting there with his finger hovering over the button, waiting to hit you with spam at 8 years, 9 months, 26 days, 11 hours, and 7 minutes from your time of registration. damn that evil genius. he sucks you in before you know it you're involved in a spam scheme.

That could be a tag-line!!

Paul J., how do you research a book of this nature. Surely it can't all be first person trial and error.

I'd assume you'd check out what's on the market already, study some research papers, interview some Dr Ruth types, and add personal or anecdotal experience. What am I missing here?

I'm not sure whether it helped or hurt, but I'm a research psychoanalyst, which for me ended up requiring about ten years worth of grad school. To finally get the first edition of the book written, I pretty much lived in the stacks at the Biomed library at UCLA for a couple of years, reading everything I could get my hands on. And when I wasn't there, I was on the west end of Topanga Beach, doing, well....

Each new edition takes a year of 12 hour days. I do that every other year. I spend a huge amount of time trying to keep up on everything from the science of sex, to learning about the history of sex, to learning more about sex in popular culture, and in other cultures.

And I listen. And ask questions--more than is probably good for you.

I guess I do what anyone does who has written a big old honkin' book and wants it to be the best it can possibly be.

I am totally going to buy that book.

seakdivers · 03-03-2007, 10:43 AM

I just added it to my cart on Amazon!

Trilby · 03-03-2007, 06:13 PM

Very cool!

I wonder if we can trick any other authors into falling into our grasp using this trick?

And not just authors... I wonder if Robbie Williams subscribes to that service - me putting him on my Celebrity Not Bang list might have been what tipped him over the edge and sent him to rehab.

Anyway, LabRat's sticky sap has caught us our very own sexpert!

My bet is internet chat rooms.
