Synopsis

A comprehensive and instructional guide to the new sexual landscape, covering “new territories” such as bondage, role playing, and sex toys that would make your parents blush. Since the publication of The Joy of Sex in 1972, the sexual landscape’s boundaries have been expanded to include a host of practices that are unthinkable in that classic tome. Although it also covers the basics, The Boudoir Bible fills those niches missing from other sex guides nicely, with full, elaborated chapters on rope bondage, restraints of sound and sight, erotic flagellation, and the stimulation of new erogenous zones, among innumerable other offerings. Well-researched, The Boudoir Bible is written from a joyful, sex-positive point of view. Going beyond the “lovemaking” of older guides, this witty and uninhibited tome expands the sexual act to encompass “verboten” topics, with chapters entitled “The Genital Gym,” “Nipple Tease,” “Male Ejaculation Control,” and “The Anthems of Anal Sex. The Boudoir Bible provides a fresh view of sexuality in the twenty-first century. The bonus pdf includes illustrations by the renowned artist François Berthoud, whose provocative creations have graced both Prada campaigns and museum exhibitions.

About Betony Vernon

Betony Vernon is a designer, author and sexual anthropologist based in Paris. Her works in precious metal, marble and other noble materials are inspired by the human body, eroticism and sexual well-being. Vernon is known for creating luxurious, durable and body safe Jewel-Tools as a response to the sex toy industry. Rizzoli International published Vernon’s first book The Boudoir Bible: The Uninhibited Sex Guide for Today, the tome is now available in 9 languages and reached bestseller status in France in 2017. Betony’s pioneering work in both fields of design and sexology put her at the forefront of the sexual well-being movement of the 21st century. She coined the term Sado-Chic in 1992 to name her first erotic collection, laying down the foundation of the BV heritage that celebrates 30 years of Paradise Found this year with her new book Paradise Found: An Erotic Treasury for Sybarites.

Goodreads review by Natasha on November 16, 2023

Un livre très instructif sur l'univers de la sexualité, des relations sensuelles, érotiques, voir ésotériques, et celles plus atypiques incluant les pratiques soft BDSM.
