Groups of bachelorettes venturing out into the spring exclude scene on Lincoln Way have a new potential destination: “Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man,” the latest, direct-from-Las Vegas reminder that titles matter more than size, 75 minutes is plenty long enough for some to sit without a drink, and that people like to realize they are going to learn stuff before they pull out their credit cards.

The how-to book Sex Tips for Straight Women from A Gay Man by Dan Anderson and Maggie Berman was a 1997 instant best seller.
