The book focuses on nearly every known type of sexually-related topic - from sex toys like vibrators and dildos, to adventurous sex on the interstate, to kinky foreplay.

A look at bathroom culture

To all my faithful readers (both of you): In the past year and a half we've had some good times ("Richard Simmons and other extraterrestrial beings") and some bad times ("Elvis' tunes live on through hamsters").

Female tag team efforts befuddle clueless lads

Happy Groundhog's Day everyone, or Valentine's Day, or whatever.
