Publisher Comments

People have more access to medical information than ever before with an abundance of printed and online resources, and yet we still believe "facts" about our bodies and sexuality that are just plain wrong. Dont Put That in There! takes on these myths and misconceptions, and exposes the truth behind some of those weird and worrisome things we think about our bodies, such as:

•The average penis size is seven inches

•Squeezing breasts is all fun and games

•You shouldnt have sex before the big game

•Anal sex will give you cancer

•Two condoms are better protection than one

•Pubic hair doesnt turn gray

•Sex can give you a heart attack

•Only men have wet dreams

•You cant break your penis

•You can run out of sperm

With the perfect blend of authoritative research and a breezy, accessible tone, Dont Put That in There! is full of enlightening, practical, and quirky facts that will debunk some of the most perennial misconceptions we believe about sex and sexuality.

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 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.
