This ever-interesting, inexhaustible topic can easily stand the length of A
Sexual Odyssey by Kenneth Maxwell (Plenum Press, $25.95, ISBN 0 306 45405
X), which carries on about what makes the world go round much faster than money
for more than 300 pages. He begins with the Bible and ends with the
possibilities of virtual sex, not quite within our grasp. The journey is
informative and can be hilarious. Maxwell forecasts the death of prudery and a
socially-approved divorce of sex and love in the next millennium.
