The Big “O” = Overrated, November 6, 2002

By	El Dopa (St. Louis, MO United States) – See all my reviews

From a male’s perspective, I found this book to be nothing more than the poor man’s version of “Prince Of Tides.” Sure I was able to climax with the help of this book, but heck, I can do that even with a strong wind from the south. My advice, buy a dildo, vaseline and Jack Daniels and call it a night.

The largest sex organ is the mind……, June 5, 2007

By	Bachelier “Husband, Father, Catholic, Finance… (Ile de France) – See all my reviews

An interesting etymology polluted by whacky hippie stew-brained lifestyle suggestions, which makes the archaeology of knowledge and thesis suspect. So this is no field manual for the Tactical Women’s Assault Team on their take-back-the-night-language-history-power-whatever rampage. Still, that this book exists at all is evidence of the triumph of Western civilization over the primitivism this author confuses with her projections of ideological and bucolic freedom.

Really fun to have on your college dorm bookshelf. Sure to attract arguments with hairy-legged man-hating hags and fundy know-nothings alike, so crack a beer and prepare yourself for a non-Aristotelian laugh riot of a Symposium. First person to mention Chomsky looses.

I preffered the sequel, June 4, 2000

By	Joshua Reuben (Israel) – See all my reviews

In this series on body orfices, I must say that this book was better than Earhole, but does not compare to Nostril.

Please…….., May 6, 2000

By A Customer

I read the book and you know what? The author forgets to realize that she wouldn’t even be living on this earth if it weren’t for a MAN. Women get hurt by a man early in life (father, lover) then they write books like this one. Open up the spill proof lid from your starbucks latte and smell the coffee because this book does not represent the real world.

Women will always need strong males to protect them for their own survival. A 4 foot 11″ woman could never pull a 70 pound fire hose up a 3 flight ladder and put out a fire. It just isn’t happening. This author will come to her senses someday when she is old and grey wishing she “bred” a child with a man to take care of her in her old age. A plastic toy from an adult store can never replace a strong and powerful man.

Work that bean!, August 28, 2001

By	Ballast Pants (Flyoverville, USA) – See all my reviews

Typical abstract agitprop from the womyn of the left-the-left-left-behind wing. These are your problems? Ever tried nursing a puky infant? “Yuck,” they say. “The very idea of perpetrating life upon this alread-crowded planet … what a moral outrage.” But books like this let those of us who give a da#n about you fringe-dwellers know what you’re thinking about.
