Description: He knows they're out there - women of all shapes and sizes - and he's decided to devote his life to getting to know them. Intimately. No strings attached. You would think he'd have no problem, being a heterosexual man in the Bay Area. An employed heterosexual man, no less. A master of the culinary arts, Carl's trying to satisfy his palate for pleasure with a smorgasbord of exotic and - if he's lucky - erotic dishes. There's a hot-and-cold running Russian named Anastasia ...

A naughty night-shifter known as "Nurse!" ... Jane, the blue-collar bisexual bartendress ... Maria Cordova, the cybersex-kitten who claims to be the hottest e-mail female on the Net ... and the one, the only, the definitive Blind Date. But Carl's year of living dangerously isn't all it's cracked up to be. Why? Because he's haunted. Haunted by The Girl he loved. The Girl who left him. The Girl he can't forget ... And She must be erased from his mind forever. With sex. (That's the plan, at least.).
