In the updated edition of the 1972 classic The Joy of Sex, pioneering physician Dr. Alex Comfort and relationship psychologist Susan Quilliam share advice on how to enjoy 'gourmet sex' with a partner, outlining the ingredients of your next sexual encounter.

How can sex be less complicated and more joyful?

After the Sexual Revolution, physician and biologist Dr. Alex Comfort helped readers become more comfortable with the basics of quality sex in his 1972 book, The Joy of Sex.

Dr. Comfort revised his book many times before his death in 2000, expanding the guidebook to include new research.

The Joy of Sex uses poetic language, photographs, drawings, and the metaphor of a gourmet meal to give step-by-step instructions for how to have connected and fun sex.

In this 2009 edition, The Joy of Sex is updated for the 21st century by relationship expert Susan Quilliam, who builds upon Dr. Comfort's insights to feature recent trends in sexuality research and practices.
