1st printing. By Tony Mitchell. Through over 200 color and black-and-white stimulating and perhaps shocking photographs, Sex: Take a Walk on the Wild Side explores the subject of what was once considered "dirty" or "taboo" sex through themes like dressing for pleasure, domination and discipline, bondage games, and extreme pleasures. Fetishism, bondage, and sadomasochism are prime examples of previously taboo areas of sexuality that are now being reevaluated by mainstream society. Sex looks at what is happening on those boundary lines through the eyes of fifty talented photographers who bring a wide range of experiences and viewpoints to their chosen subject matter and expose their work through every kind of visual medium. Photographers include Helmut Newton, Irving Klaw, John Alexander Scott Coutts, John Sutcliffe, Suze Randall, Alwyn Coates, Bob Zak, Erik Hansen, and many others.
