Have you flipped through the book Porn for Women (Chronicle Books) at your local B&N yet? Despite its title, it's not meant for your nightstand--Porn for Women ain't exactly masturbation material. But this little impulse buy by the Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative cracks our shit up and is totally deserving of a spot in your guest bathroom. (In fact, Em's mother-in-law emailed her some images from the book with the subject line, "This is so funny!!" so you know it's got universal appeal.)
The only dirt you'll find in these pages is what's being swept up, dusted, laundered, or tidied by toned men, many of them shirtless (gasp!). And all of them are more than happy to be there. In this fantasy world, men ask for directions, turn up the thermostat to tropical temperatures, don't laugh at fart jokes, take out the trash, and say dirty things like, "Why don't I get a minivan, hon, so you can drive something fun" and, "Oh, look, the NFL playoffs are today. I bet we'll have no trouble parking at the crafts fair."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know that women are visual creatures who like to look, too, and we know that this stuff isn't what women actually fantasize about when they rub one out. We get it. But it's a joke, people! In fact, we'd venture that in addition to being a very funny look at What Women Want, the authors also intended this book to be a dig at the dismal state of actual porn for women. So save your feminist ire for the crappy male-centric porn out there. Or get off your butts and make some real porn for women (i.e. something that'll turn us on instead of making us think, "Why is she wearing that slutty outfit to the supermarket?").
