I am totally going to buy that book.

seakdivers · 03-03-2007, 10:43 AM

I just added it to my cart on Amazon!

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.

Very cool!

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

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?

SteveDallas · 03-04-2007, 07:42 AM

My bet is internet chat rooms.

"So, what r u n 2? wow, thats hot"

footfootfoot · 03-04-2007, 10:37 PM

SteveDallas--It scares me that you chat speak as well as that. Actually, even at all.

Monster--It sounds like the bus driver is one wacky bitch. Yikes.

SteveDallas · 03-04-2007, 10:48 PM

I feel I should know my enemy. But enough threadjacking---I'd like to hear why people liked the Guide to Getting It On so much--or, Paul, if you would, what do you feel sets it apart from other sex guides?

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!

Cloud · 03-05-2007, 08:52 AM

it's very thorough, informative, and not preachy

I'm sure you'll run right out and buy this one!

This one is a fun read, but I expect most normal (i.e. non-contortionist) people would injure themselves if they tried most of these.

What I liked about it was the tone mostly. Basically it's got info on just about everything that I could think of (mind you, I've not had deep conversations with BrianR) in a "here's what some people do/like. Maybe you'll like it maybe you won't." There are quotes from real people of various ages on each subject. It's also got a bit of history thrown in for interest, and a great list of resources at the end of each chapter for further reading on each particular topic.

Considering I initially learned about the actual act of sex from my father's not-very-well-hidden stash of Penthouses and 80's late night Showtime, it's going to be great to have around the house for when my daughter starts to get curious about the details of the birds and bees.
