Excerpts from the book’s preface - “That sex is a laughing matter has been common knowledge for a very long time–probably since the moment man first trod the globe, as is suggested in “Sex in the Stone Age”, one of many delightful pieces in the pages ahead. And then, of course, somewhat after the Stone Age, there were Aristophanes, Rabelais, Chaucer, Boccaccio, Balzac, Shakespeare–all of whom had a great deal of fun with the subject, some of it on a high plane of elegant wit, much of it on the earthiest level of low comedy...Playboy has always endorsed this idea and has encouraged its contributors to look on the light side of the primal urge. The result of this policy has been some of the funniest writing ever written about sex, and a lot of it is in this book. The authors form an elite corps of today’s most pungent, perceptive humorists and satirists. You’ll find here the work of Art Buchwald, Allan Sherman, Ray Russell, Richard Armour, Roger Price, Larry Siegel, Harvey Kurtzman, William Iversen, Jean Shepherd and several more”.
