This is a tongue-in-cheek encyclopedia of "politically correct" sexual etiquette. It is written, the authors say, for "an age in which lip-licking, hand-holding in public and leaving one's newspaper open to a page on which a bra advertisement appears have been outlawed as harassment, and the very act of *asking* for sexual consent is considered a sex crime."

This book conscientiously documents the bizarre depths to which feminists have sunk in expressing their hostility toward sex. These expressions range from a Univ. of Minn. musicologist's conclusion that Beethoven's Ninth Symphony features "the throttling murderous rage of a rapist incapable of attaining release" - to a Univ. of Delaware philosopher's description of science as "marital rape, the husband as scientist forcing nature to his wishes."

Some of the terms which you will learn are no longer acceptable include: PROSTITUTE (now "sex-care provider"); MARRIAGE (now "domestic incarceration"); DATING (now "compulsory heterosexuality").

After having "painstakingly read the sexual harassment policies of hundreds of educational institutions and corporations," and consulted numerous other sources, the authors have complied a work that tells you "precisely what you can do, where you can do it, what to call it, whom you can do it with and what they'll do to you if you try."
