The Joy of Sex, originally released in 1972, was parked on the New York Times bestseller list for the longest time. As Washington Post says, “It scintillated, it titillated, it taught French you never learned from Madame Cousin. But most of all, it normalized. In the boudoir, everyone was okay, and everyone could be taught.”
The Joy of Sex is subtitled “A Gourmet Guide to Lovemaking,”, and has chapter headings like Starters, Main Courses and Sauces & Pickles.
The revised version of the book deals with an array of modern topics like Internet pornography, AIDS and Viagra, and features photographs (and drawings, when things get too graphic) of a couple. And it has been thoughly revised and updated. It reflect the latest research about the biology of sex. There is new material on the arousal cycle, hormones, pheromones, the clitoris, the relevance of the nipples, how erections work, aphrodisiacs, and more. Also, in addition to the elusive G spot, there is material about two other spots women can also enjoy, should they be lucky enough to locate them: the A spot, deeper inside the vagina than the G spot; and the U spot, between the clitoris and the vagina.
So, there it is. It’s a beautiful book, still fresh, and a great book to read to learn more or get som new ideas.
The new Joy of Sex available both in England and the U.S. It is highly recommended. Check it out!
