[Isaac Lambert · Rating 3 out of 5]

this is a essentially a dictionary of sex in films- written in 1974, it touches on some great movies that I've seen such as clockwork orange, some like it hot, funeral parade of roses, and Pandora's box. covers subjects from kissing to the final chapter not subtley titled 'Black/White and All/Black', this book is rather dated but covers some taboo topics. Don't expect conclusions or much comprehensive thoughts either. 2 stars for the writing (does a rabbit really symbolize that? feels either stretching or analyzing things that don't really need to be analyzed), 4.5 stars for a massive list of films that I wanna watch.

I think this is the reason why my last date flipped out and I never heard from her again. Hell it's just a lousy text book from college !
