Relive the Release of The Joy of Sex
Starting at $5.99 – $24.99
Let RetroSparX spark your memory of the release of the controversial best-selling book, The Joy of Sex, with Joy, Unfiltered. The Joy of Sex was much more than a how-to guide to intimate bedroom escapades. It was a classic product of the 1970s – a nod to the free-love sentiment of the hippie generation, and a medium for bringing conversations of sexuality and sexual health out into the open. Whether you recoiled at the audacity of the book (remember those graphic illustrations featuring some excessively hairy folks?), or celebrated the new-age perspectives that it espoused, The Joy of Sex was undeniably a cultural game-changer.
