The Social History of Fellatio

From the Indian art of auparishtaka to ZZ Top's pearl necklaces; from capnolagia to toys and taste; from Deep Throat to Foreign Slang, Glory Holes and One Night Stands, "The Social History of Fellatio" is the ultimate guide to this most intimate of acts. More than 50 chapters, arranged from A-Z, discuss technique, kinks, health, morality, art, literature, music, movies and much more. Historical detail lies alongside fictional reimaginings (which are, nevertheless, based upon historical fact); private memories with public utterances; ancient magic with modern technology. Packed with illustrations, it is a mixed bag stuffed with all manner of wonderful items, all unified by just one common denominator. They all have something to do with one or other of the eighty-plus different names by which one single, simple act is known to those of us who talk dirty in English (and which are noted in all their glory in the appendix). "The Social History of Fellatio" doesn't simply tell "everything you ever wanted to know" about the subject. It also details everything you ever wanted to try.
