The big book of sex quotes - Julian L'Estrange

The Big Book of Sex Quotes presents no fewer than 1000 quotations reflecting every conceivable aspect of the subject of sex. The quotations are presented under 75 subject headings running the whole gamut of sexual themes from Masturbation to Married Love and from Foreplay to Frotteurism. The Big Book of Sex Quotes boasts not only a plethora of quotes from the world's most celebrated humorous writers, but also a wealth of brand-new material that has not previously been anthologised.

Here will be found, in addition to unforgettable utterances from the 'usual quotational suspects' (Woody Allen, Dorothy Parker, Tallullah Bankhead, Stephen Fry and the like), contributions from voices not generally associated with the shedding of revelatory light on carnal matters: prominent among these more surprising voices is that of Sir Norman Fowler, former social security secretary in Mrs Thatcher's third administration, who was heard to respond to the government's chief medical officer when the latter informed him of the numbers of Britons who regularly practise oral-genital sex: 'Crikey!''

Compiled by the author of The Big Book of National Insults, this latest addition to Cassell's best-selling small-format humour series promises to be the most entertainingly unbuttoned quotations compilation of 2004.
