Product Description

Through over 200 color and black-and-white stimulating and perhaps shocking photographs, Sex: Take a Walk on the Wild Side explores the subject of what was once considered "dirty" or "taboo" sex through themes like dressing for pleasure, domination and discipline, bondage games, and extreme pleasures. Fetishism, bondage, and sadomasochism are prime examples of previously taboo areas of sexuality that are now being reevaluated by mainstream society. Sex looks at what is happening on those boundary lines through the eyes of fifty talented photographers who bring a wide range of experiences and viewpoints to their chosen subject matter and expose their work through every kind of visual medium. Photographers include Helmut Newton, Irving Klaw, John Alexander Scott Coutts, John Sutcliffe, Suze Randall, Alwyn Coates, Bob Zak, Erik Hansen, and many others.

Customer Reviews

A Real Treat!5
This anthology is a solid collection of work from the best photographers working in the field of erotica today. The editor did a great job of pulling together a wide variety of styles, and the resulting the book is a real pleasure, full of pleasant surprises. I was introduced to quite a few photographers that are completely new to me, and there isn't a weak or dull photo in the book. It is very well printed too, with quality paper that makes the pictures really pop, and a solid binding that looks to hold up for years. And based on the comments of my friends, I think the book holds a strong appeal for both men and women. Strongly recommended!

Tony Mitchell is a master gatherer3
Tony Mitchell has once again triumphed in creatively gathering the most talented erotic photogropers working today. A definite converastion source at any dinner party that needs breaking the ice. A conversation, moreover, that could lead to genuiunely interesting exchages. This book is a definite turn-on, as are his other collections, such as "Fetish." Not for the prudish coffee table.

Packed with wild and wicked imagery5
From Tony Mitchell, the editor of Skin Two magazine, comes this collection of wild images that either shock viewers or turn them on big time. The general theme is artistic erotica but its forays into fetishism, bondage, and sadomasochism are its mainstay. And it's packed with wild and wicked imagery. From beautiful nudes to all-out kinky sex this book bares it all. As noted by the publisher, Edition-Skylight, "In the last couple of decades, the depiction of these subjects has become of increasingly legitimate in the world of art photography, and the effect of this has been to regale us with much better quality images as well as to remove stigma.."

A wide variety of artists are gathered here in epic force including, Craig Morey, Lee Higgs, Carlos Batts, Alva Bernadine, Bob Carlos Clarke, John Dieterich, Steve Diet Goedde, China Hamilton, Kevin Hundsnurcher, Roman Kasperski, Dave Naz, Christophe Mourthe, Tony Ward, Trevor Watson, Ben Westwood, and many others.
