Nerve's Guide to Sex Etiquette for Ladies and Gentlemen by Em & Lo REVIEWS "One can but wonder what literary gems Emily Post would have produced if she had only lived in the enlightened society that produced Bend Over Boyfriend Volumes I and II. The free market of love turns us all into a bunch of whores. Ironically, that very fact is also why we need [Sex Etiquette]. We've become so intoxicated with our own permissiveness that boundaries no longer exist. We're all a bunch of naughty little children with vibrators and credit cards. There's some sincerity under all of [Em and Lo's] tongue-in-cheek (and -asshole) referencing of the past. [They] have discerned that what we really need is some good, old-fashioned discipline. The result is advice that just might get you laid. " — New York Press "At first read (and blush) it is difficult to ascertain whether these women (one primly named Emma, the other provocatively named Lorelei), popularly known as Em and Lo, are writing practical advice or pristine humor. After all, chapters like "The Unmentionables" (which includes a chart on degrees of potty problems) and "Protocol for Specific Embraces" are laden with real-life know-how....Despite its screamingly funny moments, this book answers many questions that dare not speak their own names, from safe, sane pickup lines to STD-discovery decorum....You may quibble on points of morality, but Em and Lo are so over that. They know from both personal and professional experience that folks will do what they do, and they might as well have a safe, sane book from which to glean correct behaviors in sticky situations that range from first date to first...oh, you choose!" — Bookreporter "There are thousands of ways to stumble in the naked city. With Sex Etiquette, Taylor and Sharkey have extended a steadying hand. They approach various situations — from hosting an orgy to booty calls to the so-called ''Unmentionables'' (gas, menstruation, etc.) — in a forthright and nonjudgmental manner with admirable aplomb." — Miami Street "I only wish this book had come out back when I was in college. With Em and Lo's advice, I could have been a stud on campus. Or at least I would have been able to blame them for being nookie-less instead of my original mentor: Jethro Bodine. Thank you, Em and Lo for making the world a little more sexual ettiquetted." — Party Favors "Our dear friends Em and Lo have a new book out called Nerve's Guide to Sex Etiquette for Ladies and Gentlemen. On masturbation: 'Our libidos for the most part are extroverts — energized when brought out to play, dulled when ignored...most ladies and gentlemen find that the more they call upon their libido alone, the more they wish to call upon it with a partner.' We couldn't agree more." — Melinda Gallagher and Emily Scarlet Kramer, CAKE "This quick-witted new reference book reinterprets etiquette for modern society. Nerve.com sex-advice columnists Em and Lo (Emma Taylor and Lorelei Sharkey) lay out strict protocol for booty call, one-night stands and dumping." — Time Out New York "Though the book's voice is straight-laced, its message is anything but. Em and Lo's tome works because it gently combines Miss Manners-style guidelines with subject matter often deemed inherently impolite... The authors break down the rules of orgy behavior so graciously, you'd think they were talking about a royal wedding." — New York Post "An indispensable handbook on the ins and outs by Emma Taylor and Lorelei Sharkey, who bring their tongue-in-cheek Emily Post-ian gloss to such matters as 'Booty Calling an Ex' and 'Spanking with Aplomb." — W magazine "Even if you're the very picture of sexual savoir faire, you'll still get a kick out of this, the world's first and finest guide to sex etiquette, from the world's coolest leading ladies on aplomb in and around the bedroom. Em & Lo are here to tell you how to be a class act. Take it from us, boys and girls. You're going to get something out of this book besides great laughs! Your future as a poised, sophisticated master of the social graces hangs in the balance." — Sex News Daily
