I think the most sci-fi thing about this book is that someone was trying to cash in on ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ some four years before it was published!

@ SI – He also should mansplain special relativity length contraction to her.

The picture is slow loading. The book title ‘Pleasure Planet’. In my head the Christmas Story narration voice of Jean Shepherd is telling me all the possible visual goodies to come. Vallejo? Sweet? An unknown artist doing a Where’s Waldo style picture of all the goings on on this Planet Of Pleasure? Sheep sheep sheep? Nope. A recycled Fabio romance cover would be a gazillion per cent better than this. May Sos the Rope strangle everyone responsible for Jean Shepherd’s bitter disappointment.

“Let’s not lose our heads, at least keep our underwear on.”

@fred: Something is indeed amiss when a cover makes you wistful for the Baen house style!

The publisher has certainly hit on a can’t-lose formula.
Basically, keep the underwear on and don’t look at each other.

They look like they’re doing some sort of weird modern dance. That, or shooting a bad, bad sex scene. Titillating, this isn’t.

@BC: ‘Keep the underwear on and don’t look at each other’ sounds like the dating scene in my last year at public school. My first year at university was ‘Wild Men and Wormholes’, in more ways than one!

The two things that strike me about the cover are:
1. I feel as though his ear is staring at me.
2. ‘Welcome to the Hot Side’ makes a better slogan for a place to eat than a book to read.
Though if you rearrange the letters, you get:
WELCOME TO THE HOISTED
CHEWED TO THE TOILSOME
THEISM TO THE LOCOWEED
CLEWED TO THE SMOOTHIE
COWHIDE TO THE OMELETS
MELODIC TO THE TOWHEES
CITED TO THE WHOLESOME
COWED TO THE LITHESOME
CHEWIEST TO THE LOOMED
ESCHEW TO THE DOLOMITE
WHELMED TO THE COOTIES
WHEEDLE TO THE OSMOTIC

@SI: 2069–The Year We Reach Orgasm is a real title.
So I’ve heard.

@Dead StuffWBT—I doubt one could improve upon “Cowhide to the Omelets.” 😉

Also, ‘Evangeline Anderson’ is an anagram for ‘No Angel, Envies A Nerd.’

@B.Chiclitz (9): strangely, “keep the underwear on and don’t look at each other” sorta works for one of my submissions that has yet to be posted!

Yep. Nothing says hot sex more than doing it up against the wall in your space obsessed 10 year old son’s bedroom.

@Tor: GSS and applause! Maybe repost it to the SARNATH thread?
@fred: Your comment at (5) is still quite good. GSS!
