If you’ve ever really wondered about what takes place behind the scenes at those Sexy Magazine editorial offices… here is the naked truth about the lurid stories and nude photography in all its sordid details.

From the back:

Here at last is an unvarnished, dynamite-laden account of the girlie-book publishers and what makes them tick.

An adult novel that reveals both the ecstasy and the agony of those girls whose sex-ways are branded ” abnormal”

From the back:

“Dolly, I would never do this against your will. But I could rouse you. As you rouse me…” His tone softened and became tender “Dolly, let me teach you.”
Now, he told himself, if he lost control, she would go flying out of this room and away, and he would never be this close again.
She whispered, her hand still in his, “How would you teach me?”
He caught the trembling in her voice. “Tenderly. Slowly.” There was a long silence before she whispered, “Teach me, Paul.”

The scandal of suburbia today — restless housewives betrayed not only by other men, but also by other women! What kind of passion is this, that not even marriage can quench? How does a woman slide into these double lives, modern “arrangements” and deviate episodes? And what happens when their husbands decide to go them one better…?

She hated him — but still wanted him sexually — day and night.

From the back:

Julia wanted revenge, and Frank was the unknowing victim. She set about getting even by using the only weapon she had—her beautiful body. Julia used her body artfully, teasing every erotic instinct Frank had. But she went too far and found that she could not resist satisfying the urges she had aroused in him. When Frank found out who she was he fed her to his wolf pack —six leering brutes who drew for high card to see “who would cut the cake.”

Men never knew how corrupt she was until the door was locked and the shade was down

From the back:

She Warned Them All

She removed her dress and folded it neatly over the back of a chair, taking her time, aware that his hunger was mounting as he watched from the bed. A tiny smile toyed at the corners of her lips as she reached for the clasp of her brassiere. She kept her back to him as she slid the loops down her arms and let her breasts spring loose. Slowly, knowing he was waiting, she drew in her breath and turned to face him. “Well?”

He stared. She laughed and stepped out of her heels, lifting one foot to the side of the bed, her fingers going to the garter-strap attached to her stocking. “I think I’d better warn you,” she murmured casually. “I’m not like other women.”
He blinked and frowned up at her. “What do you mean?”

Erica smiled at him. “I might be too much for you.”
He grinned, indicating his disbelief.
Erica shrugged, not surprised. “No one ever
believes me… until it’s too late for them to do anything about it.”
