review 1: Mom, if you are reading this review, cover your eyes. Better yet, go check out my review of Joyce Meyer’s latest book. You shouldn’t be reading this review mom. You’re embarrassing me.Next, I want to thank the authors for recommending the book Stuck Up!: 100 Objects Inserted and Ingested in Places They Shouldn't Be. I need to read that book.And now for everyone else, please bear with me as I try to write this review whilst working around the censors. I’m assuming you’ll know what I mean by manhood and rear orifices. The main goal of DON’T PUT THAT IN THERE! is to dispel the myths, to validate experimentation, and to prevent diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Real quick: yes, it is okay to swallow; no, there’s hardly any chance to catch something from a toilet... more seat; and, yes, you can get pregnant using the “pulling out” method.For you men, you may or may not be within average range. A lot of this book finishes answers with inconclusive findings, but offers a chock-full (not that other word; get your mind out of the gutter) of evidence and research to get you thinking. In this instance, when men self-reported online their manhood measurements, the numbers were a bit larger compared to the urologist-conducted study. Sure, one measured hard and the other measured yanked flaccid members, but it gets you thinking.The main idea here is to satisfy curiosity and keep y’all pervs safe. Speaking of pervs, apparently not as many folks are watching those special channels online that the media would have us to believe. In most cases, readers of this book will find reassurances for safety and avoidances of bundles of surprise joys. In other cases, you may find out something new that would cause you to run home and rub your eyebrow (you’ll have to read this to find out). And as for curiosity, just how wide can that rear orifice expand? (Again, read it to find out.)I’m writing this during World Cup time. There are some teams with pre-game rules about hanky-panky. They should also read this book; there’s a chapter about that.Interesting topics and lots of evidence makes for an interesting read. With that, I thank St. Martin’s Press for providing me with an electronic review copy of this book for review. Now, I need to go re-read that Joyce Meyer book myself.
review 2: Disclaimer: I received this book through Goodreads First Reads giveaway. Ever wonder if the size of a man's feet indicate anything other than his shoe size? Are oysters, chocolate or bananas really aphrodisiacs? Can you catch an STD from a toilet seat? If you've ever wondered about the answers to these questions, "Don't put that in there!: And 69 other sex myths debunked" is the book for you. Written in a fun and readable way, the book answers these and 66 other questions by examining the available scientific literature regarding each myth. The book is divided into short chapters devoted to each myth and is a quick and entertaining read. The book is serious, but has a fun tone. Most of you probably won't be surprised by most of the answers in the book, but it might be a good resource for younger readers. less

A hilarious but sobering read. But that in no way puts a damper on anything mentioned in the book.
