Joy of sex illustration

The original drawings of one of the most famous beards and other associated hairy bits, the illustrations for the bestseller The Joy of Sex, to be displayed for the first time at the Institute of Sexology exhibition at the Wellcome Collection, London. Despite being banned in many countries, including Ireland, and booksellers and librarians refusing to stock it in many states in the US, the book sold more than 10m copies. The black-and-white line drawings by Chris Foss were based on photographs he took of a man he knew well: his colleague Charles Raymond, who was responsible for the colour illustrations. They had first tried using paid models, but found them too expensive and inflexible, so Raymond volunteered to pose for the photographs with his wife, Edeltraud. The couple later recalled it as extremely hard work, particularly since the strikes and power cuts of that year meant the lights could go out at any moment.

An updated edition was released in September The Joy of Sex spent eleven weeks at the top of the New York Times bestseller list and more than 70 weeks in the top five — The original intention was to use the same approach as such cook books as The Joy of Cooking , hence section titles include "starters" and "main courses". The book features sexual practices such as oral sex and various sex positions as well as bringing "further out" practices such as sexual bondage and swinging to the attention of the general public. The original version was illustrated with a mixture of classical Indian and Japanese erotica and specially commissioned illustrations by Chris Foss black-and-white line drawings and Charles Raymond colour paintings. These two artists based their work on photographs taken by Chris Foss, of Charles Raymond and his wife.
