Product Details
Sigmund Freud had it right when he said, “The only abnormal sex is no sex.” So says Sex Libris, an irreverent and amusing peek into the realms of sexual creativity in all its libidinous glory. From the adventurous Genji – the hero of the world’s first novel written in Japan over 1,000 years ago – to the 21st century cavorting of frequent flyers, two things are quite clear: Humanity has a fertile imagination and there is nothing new under the sun.
Illustrated with 17th – 20th century ephemera, fine art and photography, this thought provoking volume of ticklish pleasures is sure to raise the eyebrows of some and the…er…consciousness of others as they entertain the following:
- Literature from Aristophanes, Ovid, E.M. Forster, Mark Twain, Ray Bradbury, Gypsy Rose Lee and other provocative writers.
- Helpful hints from the Kama Sutra including “Pair of Tongs” and “Sporting of a Sparrow”
- Laws of love from around the world
- Brief bios of puckish personalities such as Casanova, Dr. Kinsey and even Saint Pelagia
- Poetry from Shakespeare, e.e. cummings and other bawdy bards
- Lusty Limericks extolling the vices and virtues of those from Nantucket, Rangoon and Wisconsin
- Ancient love potions and aphrodisiacs for erotic stimulus
- Quotes from Woody Allen, Oscar Wilde, Albert Einstein and even Homer Simpson
- Musings on popular culture from magazines like Titter, She, Tomorrow’s Man, and Equus Eroticus
