Reception
Reviews have been generally positive with Kristin Morale from BroadwayWorld saying "…that one sentence makes up the command of "GO AND SEE IT FOR THE LIFE OF YOU," Pete Hampstead from TheatreMania said, "Even if you don't take any of its erogenous advice, Sex Tips is one of the best date-night shows you'll see this year." Anita Gates of The New York Times dissented, saying the production "feels like a blend of a bachelorette party at Chippendales and the embarrassing midnight act at a Pigalle tourist trap." Finally, The Knot listed it as one of their "6 Raunchy Comedy Shows Worthy Of A Bachelorette Party".
