As far as ‘doing what it says on the tin’ goes, this book is a good one. It’s the diaries, plural, from people, plural, talking about their sex lives. But it’s not just the doing of the deed and the sowing of the seed, it’s also all the stuff that goes with being in a relationship or not being in one. The daydreams. The texts. The efforts made to secure a hook-up, if there’s not one waiting for you at home.

The great thing about this book is that even when you feel you’ll have nothing in common with a narrator, you start reading and can quickly pick out similarities between their story and yours. My headline might be ''The public sector manager who shops at richoldmen.com'' (only joking, sweetheart) but give me a story about a horny single dad or porn loving bachelor, and I’ll easily find a way to identify with what they’re seeing, saying and doing.

[[Deep Inside by Polly Frost]], [[Fifty Shades Of Grey by EL James]], [[Girl With a One Track Mind: Exposed: Further Revelations of a Sex Blogger by Abby Lee]] and [[Unsticky by Sarra Manning]] all come recommended too, in different ways.
