Inner Traditions, 1st edition
(20) THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF EROTIC WISDOM
It is part of my rule in my top tens to throw in a kinky entry amidst my wilder special mentions, usually as my final (twentieth) special mention, at least where the subject matter permits.
And here it certainly does – it is not surprising given how large sexuality looms in human biology that it similarly looms large in our mythology.
The subtitle of the original version of this alphabetical reference book by Rufus Camphausen says it all – “A Reference Guide to the Symbolism, Techniques, Rituals, Sacred Texts, Psychology, Anatomy, and History of Sexual Sexuality”. As indeed does the subtitle of the later version – “From Aphrodisiacs and Ecstasy to Yoni Worship and Zap-Lam Yoga”.
