Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-18 00:00:00 Paul Mann This book gives some good pointers to women who are interested in having casual sex but do not know where to get started. Dubberley takes an approach that is humourous but also serious, in that she 'tells it like it is' but does so in a fairly light, easy-to-read way. Although written in 2005 it could use an update. For example, it only briefly touches on websites as a way of finding NSA partners but not in the section on how to find someone. The only other drawback for me was that it uses a lot of British slang; I had to google a couple of terms along the way. Something that might be an issue for other readers is that the book deals almost exclusively with heterosexual pairings. Overall, a good read with good advice. I am glad I borrowed it from the library but have no plans to buy my own copy.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-03-08 00:00:00 Rob Lotta I hate this book! Granted, it's been nearly 10 years since I read it, but I still remember the rage I felt when I read this. Most of the authours couldn't come up with anything other than "I would piss with my penis," or "I would find a woman to fuck with my penis." Well sure. Of course I would try pissing standing up, and I would want to have sex with my new body part, but I think I would be less predetory about figuring out how to go about that. I guess I was hoping that the writing in this book would be more creative, more revolutionary. Instead, I found it very (what I think of as) frat boy. Oh, and I found the essay by Pat Califia to be downright hostile to heterosexual women. I just can't suggest that anyone waste there time with this book.
