Everything You Know About Sex is Wrong by Russ Kick

Orgasms, sexual inventions, spirituality, hightech porn, genderblending, hustling, masturbation, politics, airplane sex, disabilities, sex magick, biblical erotica, advertising, first times, sex in space, asexuality, group sex . . . are you ready for Disinformation's look at the world of sex?

Master anthologizer Russ Kick has immersed himself in the many and varied worlds of sex writing, producing a definitive collection exposing reality that's way, way stranger than X fiction. Profiled in The New York Times as an information archaeologist, Russ digs where others would not think to look for delicious details on the present, past, and future of sex, including:

The firstever look at the FBI's porn collection (the Obscene Reference File), complete with reproduced documents
• FA reports about people having sex on commercial flights--the socalled milehigh club
• A look at brilliant, kinky, and scarce sexzines, such as Frighten the Horses, Taste of Latex, Future Sex, and Pucker Up, as well as Sexology, published by Hugo Gernsback, the father of science fiction
• The forgotten sex books of Charles Atlas (Hey, quit kicking sand in our faces, you bully )
• This massive, oversized anthology features a panoply of sexperts, everyone from prostitutes to professors, legends to newcomers, sexual revolutionaries to sexologists and beyond, providing a varied and unexpected look at sex, challenging our notions of what is possible and in turn exciting, enervating, frightening, and freaking us out.

Best-selling anthologist RUSS KICK (You Are Being Lied To and Everything You Know Is Wrong, among others) informed a whole generation of Americans with the hard truths of American politics and created a media frenzy for being the first to publish suppressed photographs of American flag-draped coffins returning from Iraq. The New York Times dubbed Kick an information archaeologist, Details magazine described him as a Renaissance man, and Utne Reader named him one of its 50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World. Then, in 2009, Kick embarked on an entirely new kind of project, returning to his love of literature and art, and to comics art in particular. For his groundbreaking new series of books The Graphic Canon, Kick has commissioned new work from over 170 artists, as well as reintroduced existing work that wasn't easy to find. With over 35,000 copies in print of the first three volumes, The Graphic Canon series has been welcomed by a wide range of different types of media, from traditional print to comics blogs, from NPR and the New York Times to Wired and Maria Popova's Brain Pickings blog, which have all hailed Kick as a visionary, expanding readers' visual vocabulary through the creation of a new kind of canon.
