When it was published in 1972 The Joy of Sex was arguably the first sex manual ever published, and since then it has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide and has been translated into numerous languages. Thirty six years on Dr Comfort’s seminal work has been updated, redesigned and refreshed to reflect the sexual climate of our modern day.

Masterminded by author and psychologist, Susan Quilliam, the new edition combines 21st century thinking on sex and sexuality with the much-loved style of the original. The result is a unique guide for modern lovers - intelligent, witty, insightful - the perfect thinking person's sex book.
