The information in this book won't raise your IQ, get you a better-paying job, or improve your table manners. It will, however, raise your eyebrows, provide a wealth of amusing material to spice up dull conversations, and satisfy your lust for arcane facts and figures. Intended' to be enjoyed by a wide range of readers, it contains only "tastefully prurient facts, " most of them perfectly repeatable in polite company. Here's just a sampling:
-- Dendrophiliacs prefer trees as sex partners
-- The expression "get laid" harkens back to Chicago's Everleigh bordello
-- It's been shown to be harder to tell a convincing lie to someone you find sexually attractive
-- Agatha Christie preferred archaeologists because they prefer older women
-- In Victorian England, the formerly nude Cupid was redesigned wearing a skirt
-- Here at last is the naked truth about length, width, and circumference

With chapters on "sexstyles" of the rich and famous, sex in history, crimes of passion, and much more, Useless Sexual Trivia will appeal to the adolescent curiosity about carnal matters that lurks in all of us.
