I have "discovered" this book through a humanities course in college, and I have to say, it is the greatest waste of money ever. The book is full of opinions of ... who have been burned by love and sex, and have nothing better to do with thier time than to sit and stew about it. I think it is ... that such reading is necessary for a degree... What a waste of time!

I first encountered this book during a philosophy course in college. This course and the book were some of the first experiences I had that challenged me to open my mind and become more than I was. The book offers several different views on sex, criticizing or approving various sexual acts, fetishes, and preferences from such the likes of notable feminists, the Pope and many other so called experts but always allowing you as the reader to think and decide as to what is the truth. Its also a great book to enter the study of philosophy which can sometimes be bland and holier than thou. There's nothing else more racy and controversial than sex. Its entertaining subject matter, but at the same time will spark that fire in the mind.
