Not so sexy sexy sex.

Dr. Vernard Eller is no sex maniac. He is not even very sexy, although this is something you can never be sure about. He is probably just about normal, whatever that is. From the books you read about sex, being normal isn't normal these days. And being abnormal isn't as abnormal as it once was.
I'm sure it's a joke, Steven C Den Beste -- Cotton Picken Mather is how he's credited.
This is a great phrase from the text:
a pathetic half-sex

If we can maintain this Foreword motion long enough, the writing of the book itself will be for better.
Definitely unsexy.

And I'm no sex maniac, even though I'm so horny alla fucking time that if there was no pussy around I'd fuck a hole in a marble wall.

In medieval Icelandic law, it was a crime to have intercourse with the knothole of a tree. This wasn't some sort of metaphor, it was very specifically a crime to fuck a knothole.
I've always wondered if there was some sort of epidemic of knothole-buggery going on with some sort of disastrous consequences for unintended victims but I've always been at a loss to think of plausible circumstances for that to occur.

When those who can think won't, some of the rest of us must stand ready to take over.

Thank merciful goodness only a miniscule portion of humanity will ever be in a postion to know whether the exceedingly garrulous Dr. Eller is capable of stopping talking long enough to actually come.
Katullus, I bet they just wanted to make sure they had enough Slippery Elms left for the hulls of their ships.

For the context-impaired, this is a parody of the 1968 Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid To Ask), one of the worst books about sex ever written.
