Sex, American Style: An Illustrated Romp Through the Golden Age of Heterosexuality

by Jack Boulware

Book Overview

An Illustrated Romp Through the Golden Age of Heterosexuality The 1970s was a time saturated with sex: singles' bars, nudism, porn theatres, hot tubs, couple-swapping, swingers' retreats, compliant stewardesses and mass-market titillation. All this and more can be found between the pages of this lavishly illustrated history of this charmingly naive but sex-crazed period.

Customer Reviews

very good

I like the book it cover almost every subject and I remember when I saw this book and I wanted to buy it and someone bought before me;I like the way it talked about history in sex through the past till the present and the book was in excellent condition.

A joyous, visual feast!

Alas, I was only ten years old when the 70's came to an end, too young to have experienced any of the grown-up delights celebrated in this wonderful book. But as a record of those times, I've never seen a more thorough and all-encompassing tribute than Sex, American Style, and have never read anything that's ever made me want to go back in time so bad. A few minor errors here and there, but nothing that distracts from the overall giddiness you feel looking back on the highlights of this delightfully decadent era. Plaid leisure suits aside, it's a shame those days are long gone; but since they are, let this book be considered a definitive reminder.

Sexy and F-U-N!

Has Jack Boulware been reading my mind? I'd like to think so. Funny, sexy, and just plain good horse sense. I purchased two copies, one to read and one safely sealed in plastic. The seventies have come and gone, but Mr. Boulware has given us a gift, nay, a treasure-tool to keep them just arms reach away from a trip down memory lane. Ah, to sleep purchance to dream. Peace.

So good you'll need a cigarette & shower when you're done!

This book should make all happy hetero's stand up and give a collective cheer! This book is jammed packed with everything and more one would ever want to know about the greatest decade for sex in the history of mankind-- the 1970's! Rarely has a book so thoroughly covered the era's hedonistic sexuality with such gusto. Little care is taken to not offend the late 90's PC crowd and that in itself puts the book head and shoulders above similar fare. If you lived it, want to re-live it, or want to experience sexuality in all its 70's glory, read this book!
