Title: The New Joy of Sex, A Gourmet Guide to Lovemaking for the Nineties

Author: Alex D Sc Comfort

Publisher: Pocket Books; First Edition (January 1, 1992)

Paperback: 256 pages

A new edition of the best-selling classic guide to sex features completely redone illustrations, erotic duotone photographs, and a text that has been restructured to address today's health concerns. This classic guide for intimacy is a beautifully written and illustrated "cookbook" for the bedroom. The late Alex Comfort's almost poetic prose, ably aided by Clare Park's beautiful photography and Christopher Foss' now nearly-legendary color illustrations, helps readers expand their sexual awareness and enhance their bedroom "playtime" to make their sex, well, more joyful. While some people might be put off by Comfort's sometimes eclectic musings on various sexual practices, or even take issue with his statements on bisexuality, this book should be in every couple's private library. This expanded edition was updated for the 1990s, and although much of the original 1970s edition's text was left unchanged, Comfort had to rethink some of his ideas about multiple partners as a result of the AIDS epidemic, something that all of us should still pay attention to. Despite some use of erudite "History of Sex" material cited by other reviewers, Comfort didn't lapse into overly clinical language, using colloquialisms for male and female genitalia instead of their medical names. Comfort, after all, wasn't writing for doctors in a dry academic tome; he was writing to the rest of us, using words and phrases that we are comfortable using within the confines of our bedrooms. There are, of course, other "cookbooks" with recipes for great sex, but Comfort's classic was, and still is, among the best of them.
