THE BOUDOIR BIBLE
A comprehensive and instructional guide to the contemporary sexual landscape, covering “new territories” such as bondage, role play and sex toys that would make your parents blush. The tome is currently published in English, French, Italian, Greek, Portuguese, Czech, Polish, Russian and Taiwanese. The bestseller reflects Betony’s deep belief that everyone has the right to enjoy truly satisfying sexual relations, without prejudice.
The Boudoir Bible provides basic body understanding that we all should have learned at school but didn’t. It fills those niches missing from other sex guides including full, elaborated chapters on rope bondage, restraint of sound and sight, erotic flagellation and the stimulation of new erogenous zones among innumerable other offerings. Well-researched, The Boudoir Bible is written from a joyful, sex-positive point of view.
Going beyond the “lovemaking” of older guides, this witty and uninhibited tome expands the sexual act to encompass “verboten” topics with chapters entitled “The Genital Gym,” “Nipple Tease,” “Male Ejaculation Control” and “The Anthems of Anal Sex.” Illustrated by the renowned artist François Berthoud, whose provocative creations have graced both Prada campaigns and museum exhibitions around the world, The Boudoir Bible provides a fresh view of sexuality in the twenty-first century.
