The Joy of Sex

The Joy of Sex was a ground-breaking sex manual written in the 1970s by Dr. Alex Comfort. It was the first explicit sex manual to gain wide distribution.

It featured sexual practices such as oral sex and various sex positions as well as bringing "farther out" practices as sexual bondage and swinging to the attention of the general public.

It featured illustrations by Chris Foss, based on original photographs of the book's art director and his wife.

More recent editions feature new artwork, and an emphasis on safer sex.
