New York City, May 2000.
The Internet bubble has burst and Evan, a computer programmer, is fired with an email from his boss.
The next day, his girlfriend dumps him, also via email. Afraid to check any more emails, Evan desperately
seeks a rebound romance but the catastrophes that ensue go from bad to hilariously worse.
Fortunately, Evan meets
Sammy -- someone whose legendary disasters with females eclipse even his own. To reverse their
fortunes, they recruit their friends -- Trevor, Yi, and Carlos -- to form a group of five guys who take on
Manhattan in pursuit of dates, sex, and adventure.
When Evan, a closet
writer, falls desperately in love with a Hollywood starlet, he schemes to meet her by writing a novel that
will sweep her off her feet. Sammy knows nothing about publishing but is confident of one thing: Evan's
book should have the word "sex" in the title.
With musings about life,
relationships, and human psychology, this quintessential New York story about the search for happiness
follows five men on their comical paths to trouble, self-discovery, and love.

Zack Love graduated
from Harvard College, where he tried to create a bachelor’s degree in Women. With the bachelor
portion of that degree in hand, he settled in New York City but – to afford renting his bed-sized studio
– found himself flirting mostly with a computer screen and stacks of documents. Determined not to die
a corporate drone, Zack decided to sacrifice sleep for screenwriting, an active social life, and Internet
startups offering temporary billion-dollar fantasies.
To feed his steady diet of
NYC nightlife, he regularly crashed VIP parties in the early 2000s and twice bumped into his burgeoning
crush, a Hollywood starlet. But – much to Zack’s surprise – neither of those awkward conversations led
to marriage with the A-list actress. Zack eventually consoled himself by imagining fiascoes far worse
than those involving his celebrity crush. In the process, he dreamed up a motley gang of five men
inspired by some of his college friends and quirky work colleagues. And thus was born Sex in the Title.
But the novel is not autobiographical: Zack never had his third leg attacked by any mammal (nor by any
plant, for that matter). In fact, keeping his member safe has been one of Zack’s lifelong goals – and one
of the few that he’s managed to accomplish.
