"The Joy of Sex" is an imaginative, uninhibited and entertaining guide to lovemaking and sex. A bestseller since it was first published in 1972, it discusses a wide range of subjects in practical detail with a reassuring authority and sense of fun. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of its publication, Mitchell Beazley presents a totally updated edition, bringing "The Joy of Sex" to a whole new generation. Illustrated throughout, the text has been revised in such a way as to retain Dr Comfort's original, revelatory advice while making it appropriate for the 21st century. Addressing 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. This text should be of interest to people who want to make their lovemaking richer and more exciting, and its drawings capture in full, frank detail the intimacy of the act of love.
