The Story of Sex: A Graphic History Through the Ages Kindle Edition

For the first time in my experience, we have a history book that focuses on sex. The history is presented in graphic novel format, which makes it easier to digest. The injections of humor also make it easier to accept.I think this is a good thing because most societies refrain from the topic of sex in any educational way.I learned a lot from this book about time periods that I was already familiar with, which was unexpected. Areas that I was already familiar with are accurately portrayed, so I assume that all of it is accurate.As a side comment, it is very obvious from the middle of the book on, that this is written by French people, as French stories and customs are featured more often than you would see elsewhere. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but speaking as an American, we're not used to not being the focus, so it does stand out.

Not to detract from the art work and research that went into this book, I found the comics hard to read. Clearly this is not a book with text and paragraphs, it is an attempt to make us laugh and regard sex as a farce. Thus the book is comprised of comics. You may need reading glasses too! We begin with Adam and Eve, which is a Biblical fable, and taken through periods of history (with attending graphics). Ask frustrated housewives what they think of sex in marriage and they may snarl at you. We should have a history of frustrated wives and husbands who cheat.

Great illustrations and lots of facts that are fun to read. Wish this book had been around when my mom was teaching me the birds and the bees

none of the graphic illusgrations show up well on kindle, basically mking it unreadable in that format good content though, just do not buy it on ths kindle!!

I never knew the history of sex before I read this book

Fascinating history of the subject.

Very informative

Not so great but interesting enough.

This is a fantastic comic! It's both incredibly informative and wickedly funny - I tore through it in about three days. Buy this book!
