The Good Vibrations Guide: Adult Videos (Good Vibrations Guide To...)

Rating:
Summary: academic, unexciting approach to the topic
Review: I got this book to share with my wife but it's so pointed towards "erotica" and telling the reader it's ok to enjoy adult films which are politically sound and artistic.. zzzzzzzz.. People want to watch porn for excitement and this book captures none of that. I was expecting a guide to adult videos, including extensive title listings for different categories of videos with reviews. Instead this book spends most of the time in essay form explaining a liberal female justification for enjoying porn. While the message is important to those who haven't heard it, there's not much else to this text for readers who have.

Summary: Useful for the neophyte
Review: This is certainly not a complete guide to the industry, but it is very helpful for the newcomer to erotic video to browse through this, get ideas about various directors, what to expect at their local video store, and how to shop for porn. It has also an interesting history chapter that helps one find the "classics" of raunchy video. However, it is a tad skimpy, and anyone looking for an in-depth, detailed review of specific titles and production companies had best shop for another book; this one will not help much with that.

Summary: Great guide to help you chose what you may like
Review: This is not a "tell all" or an "include all" guide to adult movies. Instead this guide does two things. First it lets us know what types of movies you can get through Good Vibrations and why they are so selective. That probably isn't so interesting to most readers of this review. The second thing this guide does is give a good background on what adults movies should do, advice on finding what you like, and a historical lesson on the industry. If you are looking for hundreds of pages of reviews, that isn't this book, nor will this book give you a blow by blow description of the movies it does review. Instead it helps you figure out what you are looking for and how to find it before you waste another chunk of money on porn you can't stand to watch.
