I Hear America Mating

With the romantic heart of Dr. Masters, the scholarship of Patty Duke, and the exuberant lust of Pius XII, Schoenstein courageously explores modern sex, seeking he knows not what - and finding it.

Starting with an old fashioned one-on-one at the Concord Hotel and ending with a futuristic 24-on-24 in the Pennsylvania woods, Schoenstein is a debauched Diogenes who also manages to be expelled from a pornographic film, rejected at three pre-orgy interviews, nearly dusted to death by a masseuse, and confided in by prostitute who sells him her greatest secret. It is shortly after this transaction that he starts out on his heartwarming hunt for the perfect orgy, journeying from a swinging restaurant to a Sutton Place bacchanal, where pelvises suddenly stop when he's mistaken for a cop.

Nine out of ten distinguished pimps have already called this the funniest sex book since Little Men.
