Description
|
|
|
|
A connoisseur of the offbeat, Richard Ross wades into the murkier archives of patent offices to take a look at sex contraptions designed to titillate and facilitate. From a device for assisting and maintaining an erection to nipple protectors and adhesive brassieres, from prophylactic underwear to an artificial foreskin, these variously awkward and dangerous-looking devices are presented with commentary from the author and illustrations from the inventors' own diagrams. They reveal, perhaps inadvertently, both their creators' personal preoccupations and also our broader social issues with intimacy.
