Working Stiff : The Misadventures of an Accidental Sexpert
Author(s): Grant Stoddard
A twenty-two-year-old perennial virgin, Englishman Grant Stoddard didn't know what to do with his life in America—until he won an X-rated online contest, the prize being intercourse with an infamous married sex columnist. He consequently wound up delivering mail at Nerve.com but accidentally found his calling as a gonzo sex reporter who would try any and every lurid activity his crafty coworkers devised—from offering himself up as man-bait at a hard-core gay bar to attending an elite orgy, to being a hapless participant in a sexual home invasion—all the while wishing he could be safely tucked in bed.
Working Stiff is the humble, hilarious, and delightfully salacious fish-into-water story of a young man who followed his heart—and other organs—into places where few would dare to venture.

“[O]ne of the best works of creative nonfiction since Joan Didon’s Slouching Towards Bethlehem.”
“[C]onsistently hilarious...smart and appealing.”
“HUCK FINN at the Playboy Mansion...you’ll have a fantastically fun frolic in Grant’s world.”
“Paperback Pick”
“[H}ilarious, occasionally disturbing and utterly impossible to put down...wrting--and not fornicating--is Stoddard’s true calling.”
“At it’s finest, his work is an antidote to the swaggering misogyny of the genre dubbed “fratire.”
