Tickle My Tush, by Dr. Sadie Allison, is a fun and informative little book about one of our favorite topics: anal sex. Dr. Allison is known as ‘America’s Pleasure Coach’ and she has written a book that promises ‘mild-to-wild analplay adventures for everybooty.’ In addition to the humorous text, the book contains over 50 illustrations by Steve Lee to show you exactly how to do the things Dr. Allison suggests.

In the Introduction, called ForePlay, Dr. Allison gets right to work at stripping down the taboos surrounding anal sex and putting the uninitiated at ease with the idea. She is not trying to talk the reader into having anal sex; her focus is on imparting knowledge of the act so the reader can make an informed decision as to whether or not they want to pursue this kind of activity.
