The Joy of Sex by Alex Comfort
An international bestseller since it was first published in 1972, this updated edition brings this imaginative, uninhibited guide to lovemaking and sex to a whole new generation. It has been revised in such a way to retain Dr Comfort's original, revelatory advice while making it appropriate for the 21st century. Addressing current concerns about sex and health, he balances the need for a responsible attitude to the risks presented by AIDS with the importance of happy and relaxed sexuality in people's lives. The drawings capture in full, frank detail the intimacy of the act of love.
"Comfort never loses sights of his prime intention: to encourage people to give and receive pleasureThe Joy of Sex has as much to offer 2002 as it had for 1972." Claire Rayner "An improvable classic for anyone who needs to know about sex." Sunday Telegraph "An intelligent sex manual that is serious without being solemn." Desmond Morris "Witty, fanciful and mercifully free of moralizing." Time
