There Are 8,000 Nerve Endings in the Clitoris

So what do you do if you’re a book publisher and you’re promoting a “sexy, summer beach read” which just happens to have an intriguing first sentence? You make a video of people reading the first sentence, “There are 8,000 nerve endings in the clitoris and this son of a bitch couldn’t find one of them.”

Like many book publishers, this one has gone beyond boring ads placed in the New York Times book review section. It’s a nice approach but if a business book promotes itself by having hot models read sections of the book while disrobing, an erotic thriller about three women spending the summer in the Hamptons could have been just a wee bit more racy with their promotion.

The book? J.J. Salem’s Tan Lines.
