BIG BOOK OF PUSSY, THE

In 'The Big Book of Pussy' editor Dian Hanson delves into the historical significance of this humble os, to show how the yoni has been coveted, feared, reviled, and worshipped by civilizations worldwide, from New Guinea to old Ireland. The text is supported by playful photographs of women exposing their vulvas, from 1900 to the present day. Because depiction of this body part has long been wrapped in unwarranted shame, 'The Big Book of Pussy' reframes the subject, featuring models who expose their most private part enthusiastically, happily, with smiles spread wide. And with 400+ photos the point is made emphatically, in images both naturally furry and stylishly groomed. Included are interviews with the auteur known as Pussyman, the ex-cop who turned masturbation into millions with a toy called the Fleshlight, Vanessa del Rio, Flower Tucci, vaginal performance artist Mouse, and Buck Angel.
