“Sex Design”: The Book

In theory, a glossy coffee table book featuring all kinds of sex-related "product designs, graphic designs, and objects relating to sex and love, proactive ads using sex as an enticement, phallic architecture, sex toys, and lots of sexual innuendo" sounds like a must-have for any discriminating perv's home library. But according to our always astute friends at sexblo.gs, Max Rippon's recently published "Sex Design" doesn't quite live up to the promise of its title: "The introduction is so superficial and packed with banal statements that one wonders if the author is really interested in its subject. The following pages read like a blog with big images and not a lot of text which is ok ... Its style seems to be quite inspired by blogs as well. There's some willingness to be witty and humorous for example. Well... let's say that some are better at it than others. Not everyone could write for Fleshbot." Which might be the nicest thing anyone's said about us all week. (Of course, given that carpal tunnel syndrome and boob fatigue are regular aspects of our "job", would anyone want to?)
