SEX LIBRIS—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 more than 1,000 years ago—to the twenty-first century cavorting of cyber-voyeurs, 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 Ovid, Somerset Maugham, Ray Bradbury, e.e. cummings, Gypsy Rose Lee and other provocative authors
  • Helpful hints from the Kamasutra including “Give A Blow” and “Sporting of A Sparrow”
  • Laws of love from antiquity to modern-day
  • Bios of sexual scientists such as Alfred Kinsey and Mae West
  • Poetry from Shakespeare, Ogden Nash and other bawdy bards
  • Lusty Limericks extolling the vices and virtues of those from Nantucket, Bombay and Peru
  • 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 newspapers and magazines like the New York Times and Hush-Hush
  • and a slew of titillating tidbits!
