Dr. Alex Comfort's updated The Joy of Sex was published by Mitchell Beazley in 2002.

Now, fully revised and updated for the noughties, The Joy of Sex reflects the changes in social and sexual mores over the last 30 years.

"Thirty years ago one man shook the foundations of the publishing world, his ideas were controversial and his book would have a major impact on Western society. His name was Dr. Alex Comfort - his book The Joy of Sex: the original "How To" sex manual and still the best. Thirty years on Dr. Comfort’s seminal work has been updated, redesigned and refreshed to reflect the sexual climate of the noughties.

Dr. Comfort’s aim was not merely to show how to make love-making richer and more exciting, he wished to undo the damage caused by guilt, misinformation, and non-information and to combat the widely-held belief that sex is unhealthy or downright wrong. Sexual equality is encouraged, with both partners sharing control and thereby creating a balanced and loving fusion. The Joy of Sex is a celebration of sex which recognises that sex isn't just about penetration, but about deep and positive feelings.

A best seller since publication in 1972, The Joy of Sex has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide and has been translated into numerous languages. The Joy of Sex began a whole new genre of sex manual, and its author Dr. Alex Comfort, gained international acclaim."
