Great In Bed Summary

For the Media review assignment, I chose to read “ Great in Bed” by Herbenick and Stoddard. The reason I chose to read this book was because its titled seemed appealing and it was the only book I could find for free online. As I started to read the book, I started to realize a problem; this book was very explicit and detailed in its analysis of sexual activities. I have no problem with explicit depictions of sex, but I do not “enjoy” it. Much like 50 shades of grey, the use of material in robust manners just seems unnecessary.

In short, the movie was a depiction of how a bad event in your life, can change your life for the better. The main character, Ron Woodroof, had received notice that he had Aids and needed treatment. Being a hustler and an electrician, he began to pursue to find a treatment. When he found the treatment, he was unsure as to whether it would work and so he tested the drug on himself.

He got the drugs from Mexico as he was a hustler and that connection led him to helping others with the same problem. The debate over whether it was right or wrong came down to one simple fact, he was a drug dealer. Whether that's a valid argument or not, that was the block in his path. He chose to do what he wanted to and help people who were dying from Aids; he was in the same boat and most likely would have been gone if he did not do what he did.
