History, philosophy, science, politics, theory, essays, and other generally non-fictional musings about sex.
Best Sex Writing 2006
Newman, Felice and Frederique Delacoste, eds.
Cleis Press
This series is the perfect non-fiction counterpart to the Best American Erotica series. Each essay is a take on sex as it happens in today's culture — from New York teenage girls frequenting nightclubs to writer musing on what her time in Porn Valley meant for her to what today's abstinence only sex ed is doing to our teenagers — and the result is an eclectic, but fascinating, book. We laughed at some, shuddered at others, but overall it's just a great, provocative read. (2006, 197 pp.)

Best Sex Writing 2008
Bussel, Rachel Kramer (editor)
Cleis Press
Sure, we all like having sex, but the true secret we're all keeping is that we're all really into thinking, reading, and talking about sex, too. So much of the world revolves around, relates to or relies upon sexuality, and if you don't think so, you should definitely give this book a read (and if you agree, you'll find lots of fascinating examples to entertain and enrich you here). Best Sex Writing of 2008 is a collection of essays and personal accounts that touch on, examine, pick at or mock today's sex culture. From hilarious essays on whether Jewish women really give the best blowjobs, to inspiring essays on sex rehab for spinal cord injuries, to truly disturbing (of the "I cannot look away" type) about menstrual blood (porn's last taboo!), this is an eclectic, but fascinating, book. Don't miss the provacative essay "Sex in Iran" by Pari Esfandiari and Richard Buskin, which examines how a celebrity sex tape released in that culture is changing the way that fundamentalist Islamic society views female pleasure. With offerings from Greta Christina, Violet Blue, Tristan Taormino, Lux Nightmare, Trixie Fontaine, and many more, this is book smart, fun to read and stimulating for your mind. (2008, 208 pp.)
