An international bestseller since it was first published in 1972, this updated edition brings this imaginative, uninhibited guide to lovemaking and sex to a whole new generation. It has been revised in such a way to retain Dr Comfort's original, revelatory advice while making it appropriate for the 21st century. Addressing current concerns about sex and health, he balances the need for a responsible attitude to the risks presented by AIDS with the importance of happy and relaxed sexuality in people's lives. The drawings capture in full, frank detail the intimacy of the act of love.

A member of the Royal Society of Medicine and an Associate Member of the American Psychiatric Association, he died in March 2000, aged 80.
