thank you for the insight from the opening words we are (the book) we had a time to feel what you see. the one constant in the space of time we call life, we need perspective (of what is). it is different for everyone. lying to your soul will be costly. it is humbling to say at the least to see the lies, my wife is my best friend we produce content we all know when we were born, only the one’s that have perspective reality (know why ) Ok Enough of the reality i have done almost everything that i have thought up in my sick little crossing them off as i go but my bitch is right there to give me more adventures she is a owner of a large business her people work for her and i witness the change to the necessaries that needs to be done all because we lie to ourselves most live this way ,we have the right to who we are so when we get time to relax and reflect the moves we make though the day then i demand for her to let me touch her to sleep she knows way she was born, its to serve me, and we live for only more

Very good content…but for god’s sake, please have Dollie read the whole entire thing next time. Thorndaddy’s voice is NOT a good one for recording, and his tendency to adopt what I can only guess is supposed to be a mildly sarcastic/humorous tone from time to time is nothing short of maddening. It makes me want to stick a fork in my eye. In fact I had to stop listening, it is so extremely annoying. Dollie has a lovely, rich, smooth voice that is perfect for this sort of thing.

The baby talk cuddling and random pauses… God damnit, STOP THAT!! Almost ruins the whole freakin’ book!

Get down to business and cut the crap. Fact: People don’t care how much in love you are and how sweet your relationship is, people only care about themselves.

But, content-wise, thumbs up!

Thorndaddy, Bill Clinton was officially impeached because he lied, not because he had sex. his infidelity is what sold the impeachment to the public.
Instead of trying to convince everyone that the world is fucked up, and that being a shut-in hedonist will end absolutely all of the worlds problems, maybe you should accept that some common decency is useful. …but damn, bush is evil and society is screwed up, so you should be able to include ‘fuck’ in the title.
Which brings me to my other point. I listened to your audiobook and neither the subject matter or your ego necessarily matches up with the title anyway, never mind the ‘f-bomb’ (lol). Its more of a self-serving autobiography where you tell everyone your political and lifestyle views and that there will be a perfect world when there are more people like you. It didnt teach me anything I didnt already know, except through to my own deduction that anyone who is genuinely clueless who listens to it will only gain anything by way of you transferring confidence to them (plus a few obscure BDSM community acronyms). not by doing the things you suggest, like dressing and smelling like a hobo (not to discount some good parts, like making unloved women feel special). it comes across as ‘how to get the kind of women i like, and this is why’ instead of ‘how to get the kind of women you like’.
I like the fact that by reaching half your age, I haven’t had to go through over 200 women, and that I could probably teach you a few things about women too.
As Arioch says up there, you presented the rough draft as the print version. That was probably a bad idea. If you ever redo it, I’d suggest you remove that parts about how everyone should try to be exactly like you. Less rambling, more real-life experiences. Be almost scientific about it, not vague.
I wonder if anyone will even read this here.

We’ve listened to this book, as well as Thorndaddy’s wife’s book Diary of an S and M Romance, and have found both to be great works indeed. In our opinion, anyone who can’t handle the word “fuck” has no business on the internet at all. In the case of children, we agree with the other folks here that have said that children must be supervised on the web. It is not a “childproof” place, nor would we want it to be. It’s not a “childproof” world for that matter. Don’t take away my rights because you won’t control your children. We actually have a bumper sticker on the back of our family truckster minivan that says that, and we believe in it whether it applies to guns, music censorship, film censorship, the internet, or anything else the nanny state would like to have more control over.

On a side note, I wish I would’ve had this book to read ten years ago. It’s filled with all sorts of information far more useful than that found in the typical “fuck book” to crib Thorndaddy’s phrase. Of course the girls I hung around with back then wouldn’t have appreciated what I learned from it, but I’ve since learned far better taste in women. I’ve learned a lot of things on my own over the course of my life that are spelled out simply and concisely in this book. I doubt that many young men will possess the humility necessary to take Thorndaddy’s advice, but they would be wise to do so. It would save them the trouble of wasting decades of their lives learning how to truly please a woman.

Let’s also keep in mind that Thorndaddy’s overall message in this book is that of love and respect, which is the key to any good relationship. The title in my opinion is merely a tactic to lure listeners that are looking for something of a more carnal nature. God forbid they might actually learn something worthwhile in their quest for auditory porn. 3 cheers for Thorndaddy for writing it, and 3 more cheers for podiobooks.com for hosting it. We’ll be looking forward to more work from this excellent author.

“How to Fuck” was both a pleasant surprise and a letdown. I absolutely loved Dollie’s “Diary” and so I expected this book to be of similar audio quality. Unfortunately, it’s not. Thorn Daddy is quite up front that he is using this as his rough draft for the print version, but it gets a bit confusing towards the end, when it seems that the print version has already come out. Anyways, there are numerous re-takes, background sounds, and generally sloppy recording practices in this book. About what you’d expect from a weekly podcast, not in an archival edition of a novel.

If you can deal with the presentation style, the content is magnificent. The areas I found the most fascinating are probably not will appeal to most who choose to read this book, however. I had discovered the majority of the things Thorn Daddy discusses about women on my own. It doesn’t make them any less valid, but it made them less interesting sections for me personally.

What I found invaluable in this novel were the peripheral philosophies and suggestions that he mentions throughout the book. They vary from how the world is slowly devolving towards chaos and recommending that we all create miniature utopian compounds for ourselves to simple movie recommendations.

So, even if you’re a total audio snob and can’t abide the audio quality, go get a text version. I’m going to pick up both “Diary” and “How to Fuck” used in treeware form simply so I have them as reference texts. I’d love to figure out how to take advantage of the printable tee shirt as well. Still need to go visit Cafe Press and see if that’ll work….

Hmmm…. Just read the preview on here and thought up a question. What would a gay, submissive guy like me get out of listening to this? Obviously other then the enjoyment of listening to a good, albeit ‘socially unacceptable’ (bah!), podiobook.

As a father of two, I’m getting really tired of the “We must protect the kids!”, politically correct approach to sanitizing both art and society in general. Instead of hiding every reference to sex out of fear of exposure, why not try getting to know your children well enough that you can openly discuss issues of sexuality and gender respect with them? My wife and I have read a sampling of ThornDaddy’s other posted work, and neither of us have ever interpreted his attitude towards women as being remotely negative. We’ve never had even an ounce of interest in Domme/sub experimentation, but we can certainly respect (and be entertained by) some of the less ‘vanilla’ sexual choices that others make. As far as the actual title of the book goes, who gives a shit if there’s a ‘naughty’ word in it? My wife and the bulk of her friends are all professional, confident women and they highly approve of getting their brains fucked out on a regular basis. Sex might resemble the cover of a romance novel for some(bodices being ripped off by suave men on stallions), but for most of us it’s a little more direct and in your face. Thanks, ThornDaddy.

Esther….That’s a brilliant point.

Will read and discuss on our podcast (Submission and Coffee, episode 162). Thank you.

I am sick to death of the PG-ization of modern culture.

People have to grow up and take responsibility than in this world there are places with content that, while legal, is not suitable for minors and the easily offended.
If you know you won’t like adult content don’t click on a link that is specifically labeled as such. And if you insist on being curious don’t blame someone else when your whiskers get singed.

I am an adult and when the children are safely tucked up in bed I like to enjoy a little adult or explicit content.

On the other hand I do enjoy sharing other aspects of entertainment with my children.
But finding an interesting midpoint between The Tudors and Cartoon Network seems to be becoming more impossible with everyday that passes.
PG-ization has led to MTV-style romance-o-porn infiltrating just about every program on TV which my children find as off putting as I do.

I prefer good labeling to censorship and an acknowledgment that while bare tits and sex are interesting of themselves not every subject is improved by the addition of them.

I applaud Podiobooks for this book being on thier site, while the title is a a bit shocking, the satirical value of it is not lost on the adults who, in order to find this book, would HAVE to look in the erotica section. (i know i tried looking in each section and could only find it in there and when veiwing All books) The content is not degrading to women as, unfortunately, the title does suggest it would be, and when coupled with Dollies book is actually a glimpse in to what it is that makes this couples marriage so sweet, tender and loving. The specifics might not be applicable to everyone but the general IS. Love each other and give your lover what they need.

In response to the concern “Children might see this!” (pleae try to image a 40something clasping her beaded handbag close to her chest screaching this in abject horror) firstly if your children are under 13
a) they should not be using the internet unsupervised
and b) There is a whole lot worse they could find than Thorndaddy talking about his respect for women and desire to give them what they need.
secondly if your children are over 13 they already know the word “Fuck”, they probably use it with thier friends when you’re not around , they’ve heard it the films they watch and in the computer games you let them play. Get over it, if the book was called “How to turn a Women into a Cum Guzzling Whore” even i’d have a problem with that.

Thank you Thorndaddy and Dollie – i’m getting started on Plump Buffet

As long as the title doesn’t get highlighted on the front page in a non-redacted form, I’m all for it. I have three children, between 9 and 15, and while I cuss like a soldier and my wife cusses like a sailor (since we actually WERE each), we obviously don’t have a problem with the language.

That being said, if *I* come out with the language in front of them, it’s one thing, but I’d be irritated (not upset, just irritated) to have it right out in the open without any sort of “screen” in place. It’s a common courtesy thing.

I applaud the Podiobooks.com team for being willing to distribute this and the other adult titles that they have. After all, “The Internet is really, really great! (For porn!)”. Bravo, folks!

Okay its been 44years since Lenny Bruce’s obscenity trial and over 4years since his conviction was posthumously pardoned. Can we get over the profanity thing already. It seems to me that the title is not only a promotional tactic but also a satirical take on the numerous books out there that purport to instruct how to pick up women or how women can bag a husband. And as far as being worried what 10 to 12 year olds might be exposed to, if a parent is allowing them to surf this and other sites unsupervised they deserve to have their children traumatized. It is the parents’ responsibility to police their child’s media consumption not the rest of the world’s.

I am pleased that this book was accepted by podiobooks. The seemingly juvenile nature of the title detracts somewhat from the actually quite serious and mature stance the book takes on it’s subject matter. But that is not at issue, this book is not porn, it is not filth, in fact nothing about it’s content is objectionable for those who wish to download it. It is a self help book for men who wish to make their wives/lovers extremely happy and improve their relationships.

While it is true that this site is home to literature aimed at many age groups, not all of them of an appropriate age (or maturity level as age has only so much to do with it) for this book, or it’s title. It is also true that this site should not have the ability not to include this book based on it’s nature. I am pleased to see that for the most part response to this title has been mature and calm, and would urge the staff of podiobooks not to give into any objections to this title, or god forbid, demands that they more harshly sensor their material. The internet is a free space, lets keep it that way, and learn to integrate our various views more soundly. If you object to the nature of this book, avoid it, do not attack it.

I’m not asking for censorship of the author’s content. Just discretion of display.

We can have a big tent. But we invite children into this tent. In all carnivals, the bawdy stuff is in a separate sideshow.

I love this book, I own a hard copy, and plan to download the podiobook. The word fuck will not hurt you, I promise. What would you suggest? How to Fornicate/bonk/boink/Frick/FiretrUCK/insert word of your choice a Woman’s Brains Out? Sounds silly to me.

Give the book a listen, or don’t…. but don’t worry, nothing in it will hurt you or cause the world to stop turning.

I also will defend the Podiobooks team for putting this up. Seriously people, if you don’t like it, don’t listen. It isn’t Podiobooks place to tell us what we can’t listen to. I would have less respect for the team if they hadn’t put it up. I don’t like the idea of the content and I won’t check it out, but if it isn’t illegal or promoting illegal activities… DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE! There are other things in the world that is worse than a book about sex with the word fuck in the title that need more attention.

Now one thing I would suggest to the team, if they don’t have it in place already, is to add an age check of some sort to these explicit books. We all know the unwatched kids will find a way around it anyway, but at least it will give pause to the parents as they watch their kids on the internet.

FUCK right my drawing isn’t porn (OMG I used the BIG one!!!! I dropped the F bomb!!!! Well, while I’m at it, I must tell everyone how much of a CUNT I am (that’s right. I went there.)) and neither is Thorndaddy’s book – I’ve read it. It’s self help. It exists to enable people to have a better quality of life. And given that this book is strictly for adults, he assumes that adults can handle a little “fuck” every now and then – or often (forgive the pun)

If you don’t feel comfortable reading the TITLE, then obviously this book isn’t for you. If you don’t feel comfortable reading the title, I would rather not think about how awkward sex is for you.

I look forward to hearing Thorndaddy and Dollie’s voices on the podiobook!
