![]() Men, all selfish assholes, will “take a shit on your heart.” Best just to employ them as sex machines / dildos / ATMs. A select (equally drug- and drink-addled) few function as co-conspirators. Other women are air-headed, “fugly” competitors. The narrator at the center of this humor book is a self-destructive, substance dependent female cad whose sole purpose is a ride on yet another “dirty hot” dude in order to rub out yet another compulsive orgasm. The author and publisher disclaim all liability.” Its advice and suggestions are not meant to be taken seriously. ![]() The book also comes with a legal disclaimer: “ The Girl’s Guide to Depravity is a humor book. The Girl’s Guide is based on a grinding sequence of rules-like every other dating/relationship advice peddler reliant on cynical generalizations and absolutes to hide deficits of genuine insight. It isn’t long before others are flying in your face, flapping an urgent warning to turn sail while you still can. Surprised to hear the feathered-haired network wasn’t relegated to quaint soft-core obscurity years ago? I was. I should add that the book was inspired by Rutman’s blog, which also inspired a series on Cinemax. “Do something bad if it feels good,” Rutman urges. It’s a handbook, the back cover explains, one laced with comedy and contempt for outmoded dating guides that emphasize female passivity and chastity. But the title and packaging allude to something subversive inside-an edgy new take on the pursuit of female sexual pleasure. It’s not that The Girl’s Guide to Depravity: How To Get Laid Without Getting Screwed by Heather Rutman wants to hold forth on these issues.

It’s choreographed, and there are lights, cameras, and makeup. Sally: It doesn’t compare, because on screen sex scenes feel so unnatural. I actually had some bruises the next day. It was kind of violent and intense, since it was a dream. Sally: When my character (Lizzy) dreams about her ex-boyfriend in the show, it’s a five-minute scene-it’s so dreamy and urgent. “As Seen On TV” is Not “As Seen in the Bedroom” Sally: Someone once asked me to put my finger in his butt. Rebecca: I won’t have sex with a guy unless he’s wearing socks. Another time, I asked the checkout guy at Trader Joe’s out and that was awesome-empowering, actually. Rebecca Blumhagen: There are always guys on the subway trying to ask me out.
