more joy of sex
Book • 1973
Published after the success of 'The Joy of Sex,' 'More Joy of Sex' continued Alex Comfort's attempt to normalize open discussion of sexuality, adding further positions, techniques, and reflections on how sexual freedom related to societal change.
The sequel included more explicit social theorizing — discussing the pill, intentional communities like Sandstone, and possibilities for cooperative family arrangements.
It retained the accessible voice and illustrative approach of the original while pushing some ideas that made more conservative audiences uncomfortable.
The book reinforced Comfort's belief that sexual liberation was connected to broader transformations in social relations and personal responsibility.
Like its predecessor, it influenced mainstream and even religious conversations about sexual life within marriage and beyond.
