The Happy Hook-Up - Sex~Kitten.net

Where to start? I WANT to start by telling you that I adored this book. That every other page was read, between bursts of hysterical laughter, out loud to my poor, tortured mother.

As much as I loved this book; it’s fabulous anecdotes, it’s humorous facts and figures, it’s irreverent look at the world of the Happy Hook-Up, it’s playful poke at prudish women, even the educational bits…I must brace you for my one and only serious complaint.

This book is written by women who appear to have money. By childless women. As is every other fucking self-help-get-off-your-ass-and-get-laid book I have ever read. I don’t want to sound harsh, or to put you off the book…it’s not Alexa Sherman’s fault, or Nicole Tocantins’, that this is the book that set me off.

As a single mother, with NO money to spare for sitters and glitzy shoes, I find these books fun….but completely pointless. So please, you wonderfully intelligent, securely Blahnik’d grrls? Read on.

Oh well…onto the review. Because, if you’re single and have money instead of kids, this book is for you. It was written for you. And it’s flawless. (On second thought…single moms in antiquated Converse should keep going as well. Just in case you win the lottery and can hire a nanny.)

The Happy Hook-Up, a Single Girl’s Guide to Casual Sex is the definitive meaningless fuck handbook. All wrapped up in a cozy pink and leopard print package. And inside…the chapter titles alone will get you. From Chapter 5 - Date-Stoppers, Don’t Do That Guy! How to Spot and Ditch the Losers to Chapter 9 - The Girl’s Guide to Humping, You Came (Hopefully), You Saw, Now How Do You Make the Break?

Let’s start with my favorite line…ok, one of my favorite lines. ”Why buy the pig just to get a little sausage?” Page one…they got my giggling from page one. Very few books have the power, and the candidness, to do that.

Rather then divide the book into sections, as I am wont to do, I will simply tell you what I noticed about it that set it apart from the masses of others that are similar.

The Sexcapades. Short stories from internet readers, much like yourself. Sweet, sappy, silly, stupid and sentimental…there’s something in here that everyone will be able to relate to.

The Boy’s Club. Short comments from the realm of penis people are scattered throughout the book, in little red (warning sign) rectangles. One that cracked me up…”I would find it hard to have sex without a racist. Unless she looked exactly like Keira Knightley. I’d do pretty much anything to get at Keira Knightley.” Jimmy, 37, Seattle

Sexpressions. You got it…made up words about sex. I cannot even begin to tell you about these…but I must note that some of these fantastic words have actually crept into my vocabulary. Words like heteroflixible, forn, and sexile. I won’t tell you what they mean. So there.

What Did They Say? Men and women weigh in on the issues. It’s fun to note that the men had NO embarrassing stories to share. Liars.

Add to this great medical information, tips and tricks, clues to creeps, and…lists. Tons and tons of lists. You know I love them.

Well, that oughta do it. You know you wanna read it. Despite my silly anger at the lack of books for women in my position, this one is certainly worth your time. Check it out.
