Sex is a coffee table book written by Madonna with photographs by Steven Meisel Studio and film frames taken from film shot by Fabien Baron. Sex was released on October 21, 1992 by Warner Books. The book was released by Madonna as an accompaniment to her fifth studio album Erotica, which was released a day earlier.
The extremely controversial book featured strong adult content and softcore ****ographic photographs depicting simulations of sexual acts, which included sadomasochism and analingus. Madonna wrote the book as a character named Mistress Dita, inspired by 1930s film actress Dita Parlo.
Featured in the book, aside from unknown models, are actress Isabella Rossellini, rappers Big Daddy Kane and Vanilla Ice, model Naomi Campbell, gay **** star Joey Stefano,actor Udo Kier, socialite Tatiana von Fürstenberg, and nightclub owner Ingrid Casares.
Sex sold 150,000 copies on the day of its release in the USA alone. Three days later all 1.5 million copies of the first edition were sold out worldwide, making Sex the most successful coffee table book ever released.
I really do love that book and I own it (it's still sealed, though).
It still amazes me how far she went with that book.
Almost as if she single-handedly obliterated ever sexual fantasy taboo that was left known to man.
And such beautiful photography; Steven Meisel did such a brilliant job with that.
And the 'gay underground' was just so ****ing sexy!
