Book Review: The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex by Kristen Schaal and Rich Blomquist

Written by real-life couple actress/comedienne Kristen Schaal and staff writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Rich Blomquist, The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex is a hysterical look at the different aspects of sex for straights, gays, and even animals. Lucky for those who like naughty bits "the most erotic and titillating parts of this guide are printed in red." The book also comes with a warning not to "insert the book into ANY orifice for sexual gratification," which is smart in our overly litigious society.

The authors are assisted by Michael Kupperman and Lisa Hanawalt who provide illustrations that keep the book from being read at the vast majority of jobs or by gentlemen in mixed company. Although if you are looking to get fired, leave the book open on your desk to the "Where's Waldo" spoof "Wildo's Retreat," a two-page spread that suggests what Hieronymus Bosch's work on a Tijuana bible would have looked like.

The past, present, and future of sex are covered. The first female orgasm on record comes from an 1897 diary entry by Flora Stanley after an accidental encounter with a prototype for her husband's steam engine invention. The future portends wonderful things. Forget Woody Allen's orgasmatron, the science of teledildonics reveals many advances. The next step in the evolution of shared remote sexual experiences will be robotexting where robots will be sent to perform the acts that can't take place in person. On the other hand, the glory wormhole has more frightening possibilities than the terrestrial version. Not knowing what lifeform may be on the other side of the universe willing to give an unknown user a blow job is scary enough to imagine, but when the authors discuss the theories of time travel, using a glory wormhole could change the history of the Earth or at least of your dating life.
