What do You think about Pornucopia (2003)?
This should be called Ode to a Tiny, Stinky, Uncircumcised Penis. It's absolutely ridiculous, but that's part of it's charm, I guess... if you like that kind of sophomoric humor. I enjoyed the first half of the book, where the owner of the 3.97 incher (when fully erect) finds out his head cheese kills venereal disease. Then he's tricked into donating his penis for medical research, and provided with various attachments to try out instead. Suddenly he's climbing a mountain made out of ice cream, and dueling with demons who keep trying to sodomize him, but whoever comes first wins, and he always wins. This was a very bizarre book.

Despite being of fan of his Xanth, Space Tyrant, and Mode series, I only got a third of the way through this before just having to give up. Although he put eroticism and kinkiness in a number of his other works, I suspect this was Anthony's attempt at exploring erotic taboos without restraint.Aside from the core premise seeming to be the save-the-world properties of the protagonist's smegma, the fourth wall-busting part for me was the satyr and succubus/incubus sex scene in the middle of a supernatural nightclub. Any more would be a spoiler, trust me.

The dumbest, most infantile, disgusting, idiotic, and un-erotic book I've ever read. I had been hearing of this book for years and so looked forward to reading it. Having read several of Piers Anthony books in the past I figured this would be something special. OMG. What crap.This is the third sex oriented book I've read in the past year (or two) after "The Drowning Pool" and "House of Holes." All three were awful. What is it about sex that makes authors write like giggling horny twelve year olds? The dialogue here makes "House of Holes" look like great literature. I'd copy some of here but it's too stupid to repeat. Just imagine porn written by giggling horny twelve year olds. "Surely you don't intend to practice anal intercourse?" she asked, shocked."This isn't practice, innocent baby. . ." Like I said, childish, moronic, and un-erotic. At least I won't have to read the follow-up, "The Magic Fart." Oh, brother!If you want porn, go read some classic Victorian porn. "A Romance of Lust" is one of the best. Thoroughly unrealistic (the protagonist Charlie can do it dozens of times a day!), but comparatively well written with interesting situations.
