- The Big Bang: Hooksexup's Guide to the New Sexual Universe (Penguin Plume) Much as The Joy of Sex was the definitive resource for the previous generation, The Big Bang will be the definitive sex manual for the new millennium's 18 to 35-year olds.

In addition to authoritative and comprehensive information geared towards both sexes and every sexual orientation, the book will incorporate discussions on alternative ideas, cutting edge technology and the latest in medical research. The first in a two-book deal with Plume, an imprint of Penguin Publishing Inc., the book will be entirely vetted by a trusted team of doctors.
