Pretty damn good I laughed out loud and learned things. --Anna Raeburn
A unique insight into sex, embarrassing problems and what goes on in the mind of your doctor while he or she is poking, prodding and tapping at your nether regions. Intriguing, funny and eye-poppingly rude in parts. --Jeremy Laurance, The Independent
Funny, sensible and rude - like eating a penis-shaped vegetable. --David Mitchell

Product Description
What questions would you ask a doctor at a comedy gig? Is it healthy to sleep with a pet? What are the side effects of budgie-smuggling? Is horse riding riskier that ecstasy? Do love eggs need to be fitted? Do unlucky beds exist? Do doctors ever pretend to hear noises with a stethoscope? Should I hand-wash my merkin? What's the best sexual position for losing weight? Has everyone had more sex than me? Should I have Scrabble before marrige? What should I do if someone dies on me during sex? GP and comedian Phil Hammond has collected two hundred and fifty of life's quirkiest queries from audiences across the UK. Open wide for the finest answers to the most bizarre questions, ranging from tongue in cheek to absolutely filthy...yet surprisingly useful.

Format:Paperback
I am a huge fan of this book - apart from being extremely funny and witty, it is also really useful and informative. Dr Phil is a brilliant writer who has a very matter-of-fact and intelligent way of putting his points across. There's proper medical advise in this book, but most of all it has a tremendous entertainment factor - you can't help but laugh out loud all the way through it (and feel weirdly reassured that you're not the only one ever to have experienced some of symptons listed in here). If laughter really is the best medicine then Dr Phil is well on his way to cure us all.

The British seldom talk about sex except to lampoon it, but Dr Phil has managed to come up with a very frank, very funny and very useful book about every conceivable hang up (or hang down) you might have. The questions are a comedy feast in themselves, and not for the faint-hearted (e.g. How do you put yoghurt in your vagina without getting it all over the settee? Does teabagging taste better with sugar? Is it possible to come without looking like a wounded orc?) but I learned more than I need to know about sexual behaviour and what to do with embarrassing problems in one side-splitting sitting. It's written in a loose conversational style without references, so you have to take Dr Phil's word for the accuracy and be able to spot when he's just doing it for laughs (e.g. Have you ever seen bladder tennis go to five sets?). The front of the book has an insightful discussion on the importance of pleasure and how to balance it with harm (I particularly like the idea of an `I've had enough' button). And there are some trademark insights into the things doctors do to us and why. But most of it is just a funny, clever way of getting us to talk about sex, relationships, contraception, lumps, leaks, sags, droops, dryness, itches and discharges without embarrassment.

I originally purchased this for my husband a while back now, but have just gotten around to reading it myself. It is the most hilarious book I have read for ages, and I laughed out loud on many occasions! Dr Phil Hammond just has a way of making even the most mundane of medical issues so very funny.
An excellent read, I highly recommend it, but it is definitely NOT for the easily offended or under-18s!
