Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This book has it all--sex, money, infidelity, war, poetry, the famous and the infamous, politics, hypocrisy. What a read! ... Although there are plenty of laughs, this is a serious history, and one that was hard to put down. I had no idea the condom had such a long and complex story."
--Frederick Gottlieb, MD, MPH, C. Everett Koop Public Health Physician Award recipient

"Illuminating... This fascinating book is as much a history of attitudes and morality as it is about the humble condom. Thoroughly researched yet never dry..." --Monsters and Critics.com

"A wonderful, compact tome, chock-full of posters, packages, and poems on the centuries-old device used by millions... Everything you ever wanted to know about the condom, and quite a few things you probably haven't thought of. Funny, ribald, uninhibited, and well researched. I recommend it."
--Phil Harvey, president, DKT International, author of The Government vs. Erotica

Reseña del editor:

Describes the origins of the condom as well as the different varieties which have been manufactured over the centuries, and surveys the debates over its use for birth control and prevention of sexually trasmitted diseases.
