Product Description
Prepare to enter a fantasy world. A world where clothes get folded just so, delicious dinners await, and flatulence is just not that funny. Give the fairer sex what they really want beautiful PG photos of hunky men cooking, listening, asking for directions, accompanied by steamy captions: "I love a clean house!" or "As long as I have two legs to walk on, you'll never take out the trash." Now this is porn that will leave women begging for more!

 it's a joke May 10, 2007
Patricia R. Andersen (MD USA)

It's a joke, folks, it's supposed to be enjoyable. It's not earthshaking or revealing, just some good looking guys doing housework, that sort of thing. If you're offended or feel it sets women back a zillion years, oh well, it sucks to be you. Just don't buy it or act highly offended if somebody passes a copy around.
I intend to buy a few copies* of this book and give them as gifts. It makes me laugh. I think of "That '70s Show" when they were showing the various characters' fantasies. The main mom, Kitty, is laying on the sofa, saying "Oh, right there, Red, oh" and the camera pulls back and you see Red, her character's husband, dusting a tall lamp. It was funny, because it was silly. SO buy it if you think you can take the joke, avoid it if you're easily offended.
*FYI I don't get a kickback from the publishers for recommending this book and I have absolutely nothing to do with the group that put it together. (That was suggested of one of the reviewers) If they wanted to give me a kickback, I'd probably accept. Or not. Depends on what the offer was.
Good, silly fun - and yes, it can even be considered feminist May 19, 2007

As an ardent First Amendment supporter and a feminist scholar who has done lots of research on sex work, porn, etc., I fully support women who enjoy "regular" porn, or feminist porn that includes, well, sex, as this book does not. But to the reviewers who slammed this particular book for its "offensive" assumption that women only find housework sexy, I think you're missing the point.
The book is not reifying the notion that women do not like sex. Nor are they claiming that "regular" porn and this brand of "porn" are mutually exclusive, or that women can't appreciate both. They are merely expanding the concept of what's considered sexy, what can be considered a turn-on, and what can be defined as sensual. Rather than narrowly define what is sexy as that which is explicitly sex-oriented (and such a narrow definition would be more offensive, I would think, than any photo in this book), this book evokes a spectrum, and encourages people to find the sensual in the everyday. And c'mon, anything that can make dull chores more exciting should be celebrated!
Yes, it's cheesy and some of the photos/quotes are even cringe-worthy. But that just adds to the campy appeal. But it's also a lighthearted, silly gift book, so there's no need (for detractors or even for me, reading so much into it) to take it so darn seriously. If it's not your idea of fun, simply don't purchase it.
Fantastic! April 24, 2007

Whoever said this book is lame and sexist needs to have their head examined. Sexist? I'm a 42 year mother of two, former journalist and an 'independent woman'. I found the book hysterical and right on. It's funny, but true. All my friends are passing it around, and our husbands like it even better. It's a great laugh. It's also PG, so one can give it to almost anyone as a gift. I'm giving it to just about everyone on my list!
Hillarious - What a woman wants to hear... April 7, 2007

A very funny gift book full of all the things a woman really wants to hear from her man (Get it? Porn for women...) illustrated with pics of good-looking fellas. PG enough to give my mom, my sister and my nieces - which I already did! These guys will do the laundry, bring home chocolate, and not think of letting you clean the toilet! Gave it to friends who had to finish a good laugh before turning the page.
Great gift for mother's day, wedding shower, any darned occasion.
Hysterical book! August 8, 2007

I am so GLAD to know that other people find this book fuuny. There are a lot of online postings out there that are really critical of the book. And I think I would be critical of it too -- if I had absolutely ZERO sense of humor. The point of the book is not literally that men doing housework is what gets women hot. The idea behind porn, real porn, is that it's such a fantasy. And, if your life is anything like mine, then the idea of a guy (even my male roommate, much less my boyfriend) changing the toilet paper roll constitutes a fantasy that I would put in the same category as Lord of the Rings. I'm sending this to my best friend, who is having relationship stress with her boyfriend and I hope it makes her laugh the way I laughed. Meantime, if you want to get into what men are really like, I suggest Men, Love & Sex by David Zinczenko -- very funny, insightful and helpful.
