Alone this weekend? You don’t have to be. As long as you gotta couple of bucks, a video rental card and a family-size bottle of Jurgen’s, you’ll always have a hot date. But with so many porn choices out there – more than 500 whack films produced a month – you might be at a loss. You might feel like you are in over your head (no pun intended). You might feel inclined to grab the first title, and, in the end (again, no pun intended), not only be disappointed, but filled with lack and shame. You need help.
My first piece of advice would be to ask me what I’d pick. But if I’m unavailable, look no further than Seth Grahame-Smith’s glossy goo guide THE BIG BOOK OF PORN. Sure, it’s nothing more than a primer, but to the uninitiated, it might as well be the first book of the Bible. The nasty Bible.
From the history of the genre to the top classics of all time (hooray for championing THE SATISFIERS OF ALPHA BLUE and LET MY PUPPETS COME!), no classic is left untouched. The top actresses (Vanessa Del Rio, thank you for the memories) and Ron Jeremy (whom I’ve been mistaken for, sadly while clothed) are ranked, and the guide on how to make your own homemade stag film is helpful and fun. This BIG BOOK is loaded with full-color pics for the illiterate, but for the readers, Grahame-Smith’s style is hilariously self-deprecating, laced with real wit and wisdom. I’m actually kind of jealous I didn’t write this book first. –Louis Fowler

Wait a minute. Something doesn’t add up here. You read more than anybody I’ve ever heard about, your constantly reviewing, here and at other web sites. I know you have a full time job because you’ve mentioned it here before.
How in the heck to you have time to watch porn? There’s only 24 hours in a day. Like I said Mr. Lott…something doesn’t add up. Do you have three heads?

I don’t! This one was read and reviewed by Louis Fowler, who has it pencilled in on his daily schedule.
I’m sorry Rod, I looked at the top of the posting rather than the bottom for the author’s name.
Its nice to know that your not into that nasty stuff like Louis is Rod. By the way, can you ask him if they mentioned any of Little Oral Annie’s movies? Thanks.
