Book Reviews of Holy Sex!: A Catholic Guide to Toe-Curling, Mind-Blowing, Infallible Loving
Book Review: A flippant, prurient book masquerading as a "Catholic" guide
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm so glad I was able to borrow this book from the library so that I didn't waste money buying it. I'm also glad that this book doesn't have the imprimatur. I found it very offensive, and the use of case studies I feel is inappropriate to couples who want to improve their own marital sexual relationships. I felt like a voyeur reading a lot of the material! The "tone" of this book leaves a lot to be desired. For example, why would a couple who do not have a wild sexual history pre-marriage want to read about others who have? This book is presumably not written for other professionals, so why go into the details of disordered relationships? I found Protestant Mike Pearl's book, also entitled "Holy Sex" to be more orthodox and helpful. Althugh John Gray discusses practices that are unacceptable in Catholic teaching in "Mars and Venus in the Bedroom," I was able to discount this information, and I found Gray's tone more mature and helpful than Popcak's smarmy and smutty presentation. In a culture drenched in disordered and immodest sexuality, I don't think Popcak's "guide" is very helpful--indeed it suffers from the defects of the larger culture. A truly Catholic presentation would be countercultural--not go with the polluted flow.
