About this ebook
Master anthologizer Russ Kick has immersed himself in the many and varied worlds of sex writing, producing a definitive collection exposing reality that’s way, way stranger than XXX fiction. Profiled in The New York Times as an “information archaeologist,” Russ digs where others would not think to look for delicious details on the present, past, and future of sex, including: The first-ever look at the FBI’s porn collection (the Obscene Reference File), complete with reproduced documents; FAA reports about people having sex on commercial flights—the so-called “mile-high club”; A look at brilliant, kinky, and scarce sex-zines, such as Frighten the Horses, Taste of Latex, Future Sex, and Pucker Up, as well as Sexology, published by Hugo Gernsback, the father of science fiction; The forgotten sex books of Charles Atlas (“Hey, quit kicking sand in our faces, you bully!”)
This massive, oversized anthology features a panoply of sexperts, everyone from prostitutes to professors, legends to newcomers, sexual revolutionaries to sexologists and beyond, providing a varied and unexpected look at sex, challenging our notions of what is possible and in turn exciting, enervating, frightening, and freaking us out.

Reviews for Everything You Know About Sex Is Wrong
10 ratings1 review
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I'm very open-minded - let's get that out on the table right off.I was expecting something completely different when I ordered this book - from the reviews, it sounded like a descriptive account of "out there" sexual practises, human sexuality and psychology...Which to a point, it was. But I found the interviews with porn stars to be very lacking...It was set up in the "Here's the subject. Here's the commentary" format. And some of the commentators probably should have stuck to the film industry than hopping over into the interview niche. A lot of them were tiresome to read simply because the editor never edited them beyond grammar and spelling.The book had its good points. But not many of them. If you feel like filtering through the slush, you can play psychologist and get what you really wanted out of this book.
