Review
This examination of human sexuality is more conventional than the title suggests, but it's an interesting read. Topics include everything from the early history of pornography in Greek and Roman art to a host of predictions about the future of cybersex. The author's vision of things to come includes the decline of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases and the advent of portable sex devices for astronauts and business travelers. Other motifs include same-sex sex, aphrodisiacs, mating for money, and nude beaches.
From the Back Cover
This lush, provocative book explores sexuality from our earliest trysts to cybersex and beyond. It indulges in the toys, titillations, and temptations of the most pleasurable of all passions. With spice and flair, Maxwell takes us on a whirlwind tour of human sexuality that is comprehensive in its sweep yet delightful in its alluring and amusing details. Maxwell explores both the time-honored and the bizarre. He capably draws upon the juiciest sexual literature and lore of the past, then casts light on the exciting particulars of modern-day sex, where sex roles (and sex play!) are changing at a frenetic pace. How have the feminist revolution, and the new "Masculine Mystique", changed our concepts of what is sexy or macho? What enticing new images and erotic encounters will the Internet and CD-ROM offer users of the future? How have AIDS and the need for "safe sex" inspired us to dream up ever-more creative erotic adventures? Will the twenty-first century bring about a complete separation between making babies and making love? Between the covers, Maxwell divulges the great love-making secrets of the past, and how openness, experimentation, and creativity will help us "soar to the Elysian heights of sexual pleasure" in the future.
