How To Make Love Like a Porn Star

579 pages. Countless memorable quotes. Funny stories. Heartfelt tales. And scary tear-jerking accounts.

Porn star Jenna Jameson's autobiography, "How To Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale," is not what you would expect. Well, it is because it gives the dirty details of her raunchy times in front of the camera, but it is actually so much more than that. This book is almost as thick as the bible and, despite the nearly 100 pages of pictures, it's actually a great read.

You wouldn't think this from seeing the cover, but seriously, when I started reading this book I couldn't put it down because it was interesting, sad, scary and funny.

The book tells of her childhood, how she got into porn, her drug addiction and finding her current husband. And she must either be a secret English major gifted with words or she had an amazing ghost writer because it is beautifully written and thoughtful.

One of my favorite quotes ever comes from this book and I often show people the quote on my phone and ask them who they think the author is. I've gotten responses ranging from Shakespeare and Wordsworth to The Beatles and The Backstreet Boys.

"Love is not an intellectual decision. You can't look for it or hold on to it or run away from it. It comes and goes according to its own wild inclination, completely out of our control. All we can do is recognize it when we feel it, and try to enjoy it while it lasts - be it for a say or a lifetime."

And just so you don't think this is just a sappy love story made up by a porn star, of course there's quotes like this is the infamous Jenna Jameson autobiography.

"Anal sex. Anal fucking sex. Brown-hole-spelunking rusty-can-expanding colon-tickling anal fucking sex."

Because what would a porn star's autobiography be without a little raunch and detail.

I'm not going to get into the plot because I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise for you or shock you with X-rated stories, but give this book a try. Even if you don't like Jenna Jameson, read this book because it's worth it.
