Slog - Comments on Now Even Joyfuller http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/now_even_joyfuller The Joy of Sex has been updated. There is apparently much more about pleasing women in the book—the female orgasm wasn't discovered until 1998, after all—and the book now includes cybersex, including something called "teledildonics." There's also a whole section devoted to horseplay. As in equine role play. It remains to be seen if the illustrations are still those same hairy hippies who were getting it on when the book was introduced in 1972:...

I found it way before then (unless, as I suspect, she was lying).

Because I know the version I've seen didn't have the hairy hippies.

Thanks Joy of Sex, for haunting my to-be sex life until I discovered the joy of shaving!

I returned the copy I bought in 1998 because in the section, "By her, for him," the female voice ACTUALLY SAID that she got off more on pleasing him than being pleased herself. Hello?!?!? I bought the damn book to give to my (now ex) boyfriend because I WASN'T HAVING ANY FUCKING ORGASMS! The! Very! Last! Thing! He! Needed! To! Read! Was! That! I! Didn't! Need! To! Come!

Grrr...damn dirty hippies.
