Sex Books for our Generation
A few weeks ago we did a piece on the ancient Kama Sutra texts, which provided many sexual positions that are still widely er… celebrated… today. I realized that it seems like there hasn’t been a decent sex book released in like, thousands of years. And then BOOM, out come two new hilarious “informational” books about sex: Sexy Book of Sexy Sex by Kristen Schaal (Flight of the Conchords) and her real life beau Rich Blomquist, and Sex: Our Bodies, Our Junk, by ‘The Association for the Betterment of Sex’, which includes writers from The Daily Show, The Onion, and The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien. Basically the two funniest books to come out about sex since The Silence of the Lambs. That was a comedic sex book, right? I’m pretty sure it was.
Sex: Our Bodies, Our Junk guides readers on a tour of their bodies, using hilarious info-graphics and charts to explain places to masturbate without being caught and how to describe a clitoris to the police. All in all, hilarious. And Sexy Book of Sexy Sex? Well, don’t let Miss Schaal’s cutesy face and high pitched voice fool you: this book explores every aspect of sex that many other authors stray from, including a portion of the book dedicated to the Taint, because when I think about things that are missing in contemporary American non-fiction, my number one is definitely the area between a dudes balls and butthole. Definitely.
