Former New York Post and current New York Daily News staffer and sex-averse blogger Dawn Eden has her book coming out in early December, just in time for Christ-mas. The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfilmment while Keeping Your Clothes On indeed sounds like a barrel o' laughs, but of particular note are a couple excerpts from the acknowledgements:

Very special thanks to Andrew Krucoff, who boosted my profile when he interviewed me in August 2004 for Gawker.com, and George Gurley of the New York Observer, who interviewed me in February 2005 after I lost my job at the New York Post. I'm grateful to Greg Daniel of W Publishing Group, who spotted the Observer piece and approached me about writing a book. And I'm grateful too to Michael Cooke and Martin Dunn, who also saw George's article and offered me a job at the Daily News that was far better than the one I had lost. ... Finally, very special thanks to Col Allan and Susan Edelman of the New York Post, without whom this book would not exist. When I think of you, I think of Genesis 50:20.

No, that's not the part Samuel L. Jackson quotes when shootin' people in Pulp Fiction; it's about turning evil into good, etc. Enjoy also this (subtitled!) clip of Eden chatting up the joys of restrained at eros at this week's Makor talk at the 92nd Street Y.
