Product Description
Somewhere, somebody is having more fun than you are. Orso everyone believes. Peter Sagal, a mild-mannered, Harvard-educated radio hostâthe man who puts the second "l" in "vanilla"âdecided to find out if it's true. From strip clubs to gambling halls to swingers clubs to porn sets and back to the strip clubs (but only because he left his glasses there), Sagal explores what the sinful folk do, how much they pay for the privilege, and how exactly they got those funny red marks.

 Very Naughty Book from a Very Funny Man April 21, 2009
Micheline Maynard (Detroit, Michigan USA)
Peter Sagal must have the best job in the world: host of NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, and the ability to indulge himself in all kinds of activities -- for research, mind you -- that others can only dream of trying. There were times reading his book that I had to put it down, because tears of laughter were running down my face. I'm not likely to visit the dens of iniquity that Peter explored, but that's okay. I had him to do it for me.
 Witty but not consitently well done March 20, 2009

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Peter Sagal is, of course, a very smart and witty talker and he writes as well as he speaks. The book begins rather well - funny and clever - but then degenerates into what appears to be a compilation of past projects that were sort of mushed together. I'm not sorry I read it, but he could have done so much better.
Great Read! March 13, 2009
C. Tarles (New Jersey, USA)
Such an interesting, easy read. Good and fun. One of the better books I've read on random social study information.
Clever, witty and likely to cause you to stay up all night reading. January 14, 2009
Kiran Shyama (Ma, USA)
Peter Sagal is among the most entertaining personalities on radio today. His book will not disappoint. It is totally worth, as Peter himself once said at a live taping of his radio show 'Wait, wait, Don't tell me!,' "getting dressed up and paying an average of $60, to see something you could hear for free on Sunday morning in your pajamas."
Forbidden fruit, entertainingly debunked. January 2, 2009
English Teacher (New York)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Sagal very wittily punctures a lot of fantasies that some may entertain about forbidden fruit, in all its various guises.
The author is a natural writer. He has the ability to keenly portray the practitioners of various vices, with great insight and telling details. Sagal is hysterically funny as he takes us through the vices of lying, gambling, swinging and so on. I particularly enjoyed how he dissects Bill Clinton lying about Lewinsky...he gives us a fresh take on this familiar scenario.
A great read and I hope he writes another book.
