Books about Sex

I was at the university bookstore yesterday browsing the sale table, and bought The Guide to Getting it On, a sex guide by Paul Joannides. (2006) Best $7 I will EVER spend.

I was up till well past midnight last night and read the first fourteen chapters. (I don't usually make it to the 10:00 news...)

I remember finding a copy of The Joy of Sex in the public library when I was 10 or 12, but didn't get much actually read because I was too nervous of being caught with it.

So far, this is a spectacular book. Have you read/bought it? Have you read/bought others? What are your recommendations?

Spill the beans!!!

I might have a turn of the (19th to 20th) century marriage manual around here somewhere ...

I think this is a good time to use the old line "Know it? I wrote the book on it!"

I've never run across that particular book--it sounds good. So what particularly did you like about it?

I'm sure you'll run right out and buy this one!

This one is a fun read, but I expect most normal (i.e. non-contortionist) people would injure themselves if they tried most of these.

I remember finding a copy of the "Hite Report" when I was like 13. I devoured the thing.

It was pretty mind-blowing then, not sure what I'd think of it now.

Books about sex get me in trouble.

no, no! Not in THAT way!

Or that way,

Wash your filthy mind.

I have a funny children's picture book about "the birds and the bees" ....and the humans. It's always been lying around our house -no secrets here.

I lent it to my kid's teacher ( a like-minded friend). She sent it home in his backpack. He was bored on the bus, found the book in his backpack, started to read as per my instructions when bored on bus -read a book. Shared with friends, cause a commotion, bus driver confiscated book and put in a DISCIPLINE REQUEST against him for the CONTENT of the book! It was rejected, she developed a vendetta against my family -which resulted in her receiving three disciplinary actions.

Just before Christmas, she arrived early at our stop and left early -without my kids. I called up, she was sent back, she was steaming and screamed at me and afterwards claimed I threatened her. She was disliplined again. Unsatisfied, she went to the police and told them I'd threatened her. It was thrown out (bus full of tittle-tattle kids as witnesses, who in their right mind would hope to pass off a story like that in front of them?).

Proof indeed that sex books can get you into trouble.

here's the Book
