The Happy Hook Up by Joy Alexa Sherman

Mindless fling, harmless hook-up, booty call, friends with benefits. Call it what you want, but let'-s be honest: more females than ever are choosing to stay single-and sleeping around has become an accepted, if not expected, part of the singles scene. But while casual sex is no longer a girl'-s dirty little secret, it'-s not always as easy as it'-s often made out to be. In THE HAPY HOK-UP, two 30-something women who have done hard time in the casual sex trenches address the various issues that single women face before, during, and after hooking up. Using extensive interviews with a variety of experts, THE HAPY HOK-UP explores the physical, behavioral, and emotional issues that go along with doing the casual deed. Accompanying the authors'- sardonic and sage advice is an array of entertaining and educational anecdotes from women who'-ve hooked up and survived to share their enlightening tales. They shed light on such important issues as planning ahead (go easy on the alcohol-and the fiber), special engagements (celebrity screws; workplace whoopie), and the awkward moments after (the phone number exchange; breakfast in public). Featuring quizzes and checklists to gauge the reader'-s casual sex readiness as well as glimpses into getting lucky from the male perspective, THE HAPY HOK-UP looks at commitment-free fun from a smart and empowering perspective.A woman'-s guide to casual sex, featuring advice from relevant experts, vixens in the know, and a few well-chosen guys. Appeals to the same sassy gals who watch Sex and the City, read Cosmo, and use Blue Q'-s Dirty Girl and Virgin/Slut beauty products. A recent U.S. study showed that almost 50 percent of adults have had a one-night stand.
