...seen this barely veiled porn tape, I would have been grossed out. The idea of showing average-looking people having real sex sounds admirable until you actually see bald, fat people from the '80s going at it like quaaluded marsupials in bad lighting. While it made my lovely wife Cassandra feel good about her body, it made me feel bad about bodies in general. The academic experts' voice-overs backfired to make sex seem even more animalistic and desperate. Furthermore, the term advanced sexual techniques was being used loosely. There was an entire scene on male masturbation. If masturbating...
...only way to improve your sex life, Friday argued, is by being honest and open. So I figured Cassandra and I would boldly seek advice in a public forum. We called in to Playboy TV's Night Calls Live, whose hosts are former adult-film star Juli Ashton and formerly less-well-endowed Tiffany Granath. About halfway into our call, when Ashton looked into the camera and asked Cassandra and me what kind of sex toys we owned, I realized that people usually use pseudonyms when they call in to sex shows.

So I signed up for a seminar at Toys in Babeland, a sex shop run by lesbians in Manhattan. Thirty other men in their 20s and 30s showed up for "Sex Tips for Straight Men." It turned out lesbians know a lot about how to have sex with a woman. They suggested conning your partner...
...learn more about Cassandra, I had to find out what women say about sex when they're alone. To do that, I sat quietly in the back of a Bronx, N.Y., apartment, shopping for sex toys with 30 young women, many of whom were drunk elementary school teachers. In a 21st century twist on Tupperware parties, women invite their friends to buy X-rated products at home events. Passion Parties is a 10-year-old company with $20 million in sales whose slogan is Where Every Day Is Valentine's Day. Every day also seems to require a package...
