Product Description

Hands-on and how-to advice on the worst-case dating and sex scenarios, everything from how to escape a dull conversation and how to survive alcohol poisoning to how to fend off an undesired good night kiss or fake (or detect fake) orgasms. Chapters include essential dating and break-up skills, pre-date survival, and instruction on sex and foreplay. Funny and serious at the same time, on the model of the previous WCS books, with bulleted points, boy/girl scout diagrams. Dating & Sex is the first title in a new series of single subject worst-case books, to be followed by Golf (SP02) and College (SP03) guides.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for all students!, 29 Nov 2001

By A Customer

Absolutely brilliant. A great book to entertain friends by the pure stupidity of it, such as how to spot your date is a transvestite. A great book for friends, and a guarenteed laugh. Your teenage son would love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Take Your Ax and Body Odor Elsewhere . . . Whoever You Are!, 7 May 2004

By	Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

"Warning . . . Breaking a heart is one thing -- breaking the law is another." In the spirit of fun, this book does describe all sorts of illegal activities that you should not indulge in (being an ax murderer, escaping restaurants without paying, and making whoopee in an airplane lavatory). But you will probably enjoy the fantasy of escaping from these circumstances while reading the book!

The book's key point is that you will "find out how to survive dozens of physically and emotionally threatening situations in bars, restaurants, bedrooms, or airplane lavatories." This is important because "human nature is much less predictable than Mother Nature."

Like the other two worst-case survival handbooks, this one comes with many helpful illustrations to help you follow the advice.

Here are some of my favorite sections: How to determine the gender of your date (without removing any clothing); how to tell if you date is married; what to do if you run into an obsessive ex on a date; how to fake an intense sexual experience; how to find out the name of the person you are in bed with when you've forgotten their name; how to stop a wedding of someone you want to marry; a section of useful excuses; pick up lines not to use; and fending off unwanted admirers in a bar (which includes many ways to spill drinks on them).

More than the other two handbooks, this book is filled with advice that you may actually want to use some day (like how to stop someone from snoring, getting rid of excess gas, dealing with a declined credit card when you have no cash with you, and breaking up with someone in a considerate way).

I only found one area where I thought the advice was wrong. There's a section on how to tell if another person is a con artist. There is advice drawn from neuro-linguistic programming that suggests that people who look to the left are lying. Actually, in most right handed people, looking left or up to the left usually means that they are remembering a visual image, or something that they have heard. If a right handed person looks right or up to the right, there is some imaginative activity going on . . . not necessarily a lie. The person may not have an experience in this area. Reverse these directions for most left-handed people. For ambidextrous people, good luck!

I think that this book is not only valuable for most people who are dating, it would also make a wonderful gift for roommates to give to each other (when of an appropriate age to appreciate the references to sexual situations as well-meant humor).

For guys, if the advice doesn't work out, you will also find out how to handle black eyes, meeting with police officers, and getting out on bail!

Appreciate the potential humor of every situation . . . even on bad dates!!

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely FANTASTIC, 26 Mar 2002

By A Customer

I got this book because i was bored and it looked vaguely interesting... it is absolutely hilarious, and i have now spent all day giggling to worrying situations such as "how to carry your date if he has passed out" (with illustrations). I just hope some of the more absurd never happen to me. DEFINATELY buy this book!
