When I lived at home year ago I found a copy of this book in our garage car boot sale boxes and I took it to masturbate in my room with, but was only really interested in the illustrations of the horny bearded man

Anyone else remember this book

I remember the series of small book you bought monthly or biweekly.

My sister (in her 20s at the time) use to make me go to the corner shop for her tabs, newspapers etc and every so often the shop keeper would give me her copy for her.

It was the slowest walk back to her house ever.

My mate used to steal them for a newsagent and pass them to me at home.

The hard one they gave me! God knows how I’d have coped with the internet!

I remember buying it in WH Smith at age 16 and having a row with the the woman in the till who said she couldn't sell it to anyone under the age of 18. I said, it's a book not a porn mag and there's no age restriction!

She called the manager to back her up and he confirmed there was no age restriction on non-fiction books! She was proper mad about it!

Pornography had to be ordered in from Holland in the 1970s in plain cover and risked confiscation by cutoms. Super 8mm film was the medium to watch the moving image which were silent and needed a projector and screen.

Young people don't know they're born these days.

I did a training course called 'Let's Talk About Sex' and ran for 3 Saturdays. On the first one the tutor played scenes from 'The Joy of Sex' videos and one of my fellow attendees, I was the only guy out of 10, complained that while vaginas were displayed there was no penis erect or otherwise. The tutor, whom I knew well, asked me if I had any gay porn and would I be up for letting the others see a clip.I treated them to 6-7 minutes from Seance Particuliere by J D Cadinot

The lady who had complained left the room about halfway through.

My dad used to buy copies of Forum, Variations and Fiesta magazines every month from the local bookstore back home. Many years later growing up as a horny teenager, I found cardboard box load of the magazines. Every few days I would take a couple up to my bedroom, read and wank hard, and then return the books back and swap for other copies. The reader's page was an eye opener, reading swingers and couples' real life experiences! I really enjoyed reading those magazines. I learnt a lot from those magazines.

Channel 4 made a documentary about the book back in 2000. There is a short promo trailer on youtube - search "Joy Of Sex documentary" - and the bearded man is in it. (He still has the beard, although it isn't black anymore, and he has all his clothes on.)

I couldn't find the full program - it might be available for streaming somewhere, although it seems unlikely. Alex Comfort was a very unlikely author - he was of unprepossessing appearance, and IIRC he had disgusting personal habits, eg picking his nose and eating the snot.

He did however find his way to California, at a time when, if the gossip was true, there were orgies going on in every street, so none of that was any bar to an eager researcher and author looking for opportunities to do lots of "field work".

The book was a publishing sensation, although he did a sequel that featured the joys of anal sex, and I can't remember condoms being a prominent feature. Its release was around the time when HIV arrived, and that book didn't fare so well. I don't think he published any more, although they kept rolling out updated editions of JoS, so the proceeds probably saw him into retirement.

On a side note, he was a pacifist and conscientious objector during WW2, and he had quite a spat with George Orwell in the letters pages of one of the papers of the time. The correspondence appears in Orwell's collected letters.

One of these in my local library about 30 years ago and it did have a very identifiable smell about it.

My dad and step mum had a copy hidden away. It was regular wank material for me when I was younger, until I found the Polaroids that is!

"My mum and dad had a copy, I used to read it through, I remember as an alternative to intercourse they suggested put the man's dick below the women's arm pit. I never tried it. Some weeks later when I was sneaking about I found a copy of Forum. Sod the joy of sex, the Joy of Forum had me wanking every chance I could."
. I loved Forum, found loads in an uncles garage I was clearing out. Years of wanking material.

"I remember the series of small book you bought monthly or biweekly.

My sister (in her 20s at the time) use to make me go to the corner shop for her tabs, newspapers etc and every so often the shop keeper would give me her copy for her.

It was the slowest walk back to her house ever. "

Recently clearing out my parents house I found my collection of those magazines , I collected them as I was in my first heterosexual relationship and wanted to be a good lover ….in truth it was the illustrations of the guy and penis talk , that interested me more . It was a further 7 years before I took that first step… the Mags went in the box for charity

Similar to OP, but it was a serialisation of the Joy of Sex.

Like a magazine, a small printed book came with a small ring binder folder. I can remember finding it at the back of parents wardrobe.

Fascinated by the fella, his cock and treasure trail depicted.
