Kurzbeschreibung
BOINK is what happens when a group of undergrads from Boston University decide to publish a sex magazine. Now comes their explosive book, the definitive college guide to carnal knowledge. Openly exploring sexual themes that are relevant to all men and women, these 4-color, beautifully designed pages are filled with never-before-published true stories, prescriptive advice, graphic confessions, and no-holds-barred nude pictures of real university students (not the fake "college co-eds" all over the internet). With student contributors from named major universities, BOINK vividly details what goes on under the dorm room sheets across the country.

Ich hatte mir als Erinnerung an die Boston University (da wurde das "Buch" verfasst) dieses Buch geholt und wurde total enttäuscht. Nicht, dass ich grossartig was erwartet habe, aber ich hoffte es wäre zumindest lustig von einem gewissen Standpunkt aus. Es ist aber einfach nur absolut billige Möchtegern-Kinderkram Schreiberei, mit dem total misslungenen Versuch des "Ach-wir-sind-soo-sexy-und-shocking". Schlechter Schreibstil, schlechte Bilder (Hilfe, versuchen die einen Softporno zu kreiren? Jedes Billigmagazin ist da besser!), absolute Geldverschwendung.

Its certainly not "no holds barred", but the writing is great

I am sort of in the middle ground between the one reviewer that blasted the book and the others. On the one hand, I agree with the guy that was disappointed, but for different reasons. Does "no holds barred" for women mean girls that are skinny A-cups? There are a LOT of other body types in this world but you would never know it from the pics in this book. And to agree with the one star guy, these pictorials are FAR from no holds barred. They are tamer than even playboy other than the fact that a flacid penis is snuck in there occasionally. The girls are pretty but I wish there had been some other types of women than these skinny girls.
How is the writing? I think that for the most part, it is superb. As a kid, I was an avid reader and grew up prior to the advent of the internet. So, my titallation came from girlie mags and penthouse/Gallery letters. The writing in here is on par with those as far as explicitness goes but is far more realistic and literate. You find yourself living vicariously through the stories as opposed to simply being excited. I love the stories in this book. Please release another one!

If you are looking for the cutting edge, you won't find it in Boink. The photography is of pretty people in a tropical setting in various combinations. It's fun and sexy and softcore, but it's not breaking any boundaries.
The "real college kids" angle is not fully realized. It doesn't convey the reality of college sex - at least in appearances. The writing is more successful, but hard to navigate. The table of contents does not tell you whether a piece of writing is fiction or non-fiction. On one hand, that means that it all COULD be real. On the other, you have no way of knowing what is real or not, which is an essential part of the appeal. The colleges are NOT named, as has been stated in some of the press coverage, and the authors are also not given their full bylines.
Another problem is the illustrations, which violate an essential rule of publishing - to not previsualize for the audience what they are supposed to imagine. The illustrations are often literal depictions of story content, rather than (like The New Yorker's presentation of short fiction) evocative pieces of artwork that underscore and accentuate what the audience is supposed to be feeling.
Boink is an admirable attempt to champion sex-positive expression in young adults, and has achieved a fun, tame, mainstream appeal. But they miss the essential aspect of their mission - to portray people as they really are, in the environments they really live in, doing the things they really do. And that means unflinching honesty and grit. Which is not found here.

I may be a little biased...

This book is wonderful. It's got a varied collection of short stories written by college students all over the country (and a few from outside it) that really give a sense of how different sexual experiences can be for our generation. They're exciting and well-illustrated, and the stories are bookended by the best parts - the pictures. Boink chose eight strangers from across the country to fly to a tropical paradise and have as much fun as we could on camera. The photoshoots came out great (and there's something for everyone) and I'm very proud to be able to recommend this book to anyone who wants a more interesting and authentic take on college sex. I hope you all enjoy this book as much as we did.
