description: This is not your parent's sex lecture: it's irreverent, chummy, and downright fun. Part 1, Sex for Beginners," covers the basics, from understanding orgasm ("a few blissful seconds of rhythmic muscle contractions that release all that pent-up sexual energy back into the universe, like a whistling teapot from Xanadu") to techniques of all kinds for pleasuring yourself or a partner. Part 2, "Sex for Advanced Swimmers," discusses female ejaculation, fisting, sex toys, and power play. Part 3, "Sex for Winners," promotes safer sex, with a frank, detailed discussion of STDs ("You know why flings are called flavors of the week? Because each one might have a different STD."). Whether you want to learn how to "house clean" for anal sex, choose a lubricant, use a harness, or "paddle the pink canoe," you'll learn how here. All consensual sex acts are treated with delight and respect.
