When Merril Markoe looked back on her decidedly checkered romantic past, she decided, in the name of women everywhere, to set out on a quest for the holy grail of true love. The result is Merrill Markoe's Guide to Love, which goes boldly where no book has ever dared -- from a hands-on oral-sex class to a consultation with LaToya Jackson's psychic. Markoe discloses the "Secrets of Seduction" -- who knew that oven mitts can make intercourse more fun? -- and visits a "love channeler" who delivers advice from his alter-ego Shontee, who lives 250,000 years in the future. Having scaled a mountain of Hallmark poetry and "breast enhancers," Markoe has proven herself a guerrilla in the struggle for love. Coming in comic aid to women in distress everywhere, Merrill Markoe's Guide to Love is a brazen and brilliantly funny take on love and sex in the self-help world of the nineties.
I always wondered what was going on in all those classes that claim teach love technique and ways to attract the opposite sex. In this book Merrill Markoe attends a bunch of them and draws a hilarious portrait of the people who attend, as well as the so called lesson plans. Merrill Markoe makes me laugh. SHe has such a great eye for detail and along the way there are some theoretically useful tips. Read this book and you don't have to buy the next ten new books on this subject.
A hilarious look at the eternal search for love
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
The always-witty Merrill Markoe tells it like it is in her search through the quagmire of love in the modern world. She attends a seminar on giving the ultimate fellatio; she sees a psychic, joins a dating club...all in search of the answers..., but getting to that conclusion is one of the wittiest, most sarcastic journeys you will ever take.
