All you've ever wanted to know about sex, but never dared to ask.

What do we really know about sex? Eroticism is not only a craft or experience in which one is more or less gifted. It's also a culture of its own, which has evolved according to eras and countries. From the oldest texts on the art of loving to the latest development in cybersex, the Sex Game Book peers into every aspect of sex culture: literature, mythology, cinema, arts, sciences, objects, places, social phenomena.

Punctuated with games, questions, and more than 300 illustrations, enhanced with a bibliography and cinematography of the masterpieces of Eroticism, this original encyclopedia offers an amusing, cultural, and multidisciplinary vision of this most fundamental pulse of mankind.

DENYSE BEAULIEU wrote for the magazine Globe before launching Bagatelle, the first French magazine of charm addressed to women. She is a specialist in the work of Marquis de Sade to which she has dedicated a thesis and different articles, for the French review L'Infini among others. (via assouline.com)
