Text on sex is full of fun and facts
MTVs ‘Loveline’ duo
discuss life between the
sheets betiveen book covers
By Teri Meeuwsen
Oregon Daily Emerald
Finding out if you’re masturbat
ing too much, the latest trends in
sex and what really happens
when you lose your virginity are
issues many have pondered and
tried to answer.
Parents have nervously stut
tered through the birds and the
bees with their kids, and middle
school health teachers have tried
to talk seriously about sex with
giggling, hormone-saturated
teenagers. Others have taken it in
their own hands to find out what
sex is all about.
The dynamic duo of MTV’s
Loveline, Adam Carola and Dr.
Drew, have wrestled with this
task with both seriousness and
spirit. The twosome has jumped
from radio to television and are
now jumping into the next medi
um — their own book, “The Dr.
Drew and Adam Book: A Survival
Guide to Life and Love.”
Imagine the late-night televi
sion show is taken off the air and
placed between two covers in
written text. The same kinds of
questions, "sometimes X-rated,
always real,” are answered in the
book with the same kind of seri
ousness from Dr. Drew and per
verseness from Adam as seen on
the show.
“Can I get pregnant if I have sex
in a Jacuzzi?”
“Are there actual dangers to
creating personal relationships
via the Internet?”
"Are there degrees of cheat
ing?”
“At what point should you get
an ruv resir
Another way the
book parallels the
show is that celebrities
answer some of the
questions. People such
as A. J. Dunning and
Brian Vander Ark from
The Verve Pipe, actor
Marlon Wayans and
actress Janeane Garofa
lo add their two cents
— sometimes useless sense —to
the bank o’ laughter and lessons.
But the book and show parallel
each other in the way viewers and
readers react to them. In this case,
the reactions come in different
stages, like having sex.
When watching the show, the
first stage of reaction is like fore
play — it’s exciting and tends to
be shocking. The first-time view
ers of the show are astonished
that talking about sex so openly is
allowed in the prude world we

live in.
The second phase is like the ac
tual sex with the possibility of
reaching orgasm. After watching
a couple more shows behind the
locked bedroom door and be
neath the sheets to muffle the
glow and sound of the television,
the show grows on them and even
produces a rhythmic, mind-bend
ing chuckle or two.
The third phase is after sex,
wnen you re reaoy to
cuddle and snuggle
or are disappointed,
like not getting what
you want for Christ
mas. The show loses
its after-glow as the
same questions get
asked again and
again, and Adam’s
quick wit and sar
casm get old.
Alter all the tun and games are
phased out, it becomes clear why
the show was created in the first
place — to educate those who
need a chuckle to learn about sex.
The book is the same way. At
first, flipping through its pages
leaves the reader laughing at the
comparison between cats and
vaginas, black labs and penises.

whether you've masturbated too
