38-year-old Robert Bennett has recently undergone a revelation: he doesn't actually like sex. He has never derived great pleasure from sex, and nor has any woman he's slept with. He still has a sex drive, mind, and he is still attracted to his wife, but he believes that the things we get from sex can be got from other activities that are more rewarding, and less messy. Why go through all the awkwardness of sex to have an orgasm when you can get there by enjoying a good old sneeze instead? Why spend hours fumbling around with your partner's bits when you can strengthen your marriage by taking up hobbies together such as taxidermy and matchstick cathedral modelling? This is the gospel Robert wishes to spread, and the result is this hilarious guide to life without sex. Wonderfully illustrated with spoof drawings based on Alex Comfort's The Joy of Sex, it is irreverent, outrageous and very funny.

i picked this up in Waterstones cause i thought it was the original joy of sex which my parents used to hide from me. it's a brilliant spoof all about a bearded man who hates sex. he's mental, it's filthy and funny. don't show it to your mum or gran, unless they don't mind pictures of a cigarette packet poking out of a fake fanny.

I bought this book after seeing Will's fantastic show "Misplaced Childhood" in Edinburgh, and it's one of the funniest comedy book's in ages. The pictures are laugh out loud funny - the watercooler one made me cry - and the persona of Robert Bennett is classic. More of his madness please!

this is a fantastic book - witty, outrageous, really really funny. The illustrations are brilliant too. I can think of loads of people who would like it for xmas, especially guys who have a dirty sense of humour.
Listmania!
