During the 1970’s, John Warren Wells chronicled the seismic shift in human behavior which has come to be known as the Sexual Revolution. His monthly column in Swank Magazine brought no end of letters; he replied to everyone who wrote, and ihterviewed many of his correspondents by mail or, often, in person. All of the letters were interesting. Some were extraordinary. The most outrageous found their way into Beyond Group Sex. Here’s the publisher’s blurb: “They all do their own thing! “Katherine, a beautiful woman who finds release in watching other couples...Grant, a minister who ...

The sexual upheaval of the 1970s was a remarkable turning point in the evolution of contemporary sexual behavior. As much as anyone, John Warren Wells stalked the barricades of this social revolution. He met the players, and let them pour their stories into his sympathetic ear. From the original publisher's edition:" The Taboo Breakers is a penetrating, unbiased study of these modern "swingers." Just what do they do, and with whom, and why? Are they fools and sinners, the shock troops of a new sexual revolution, hell-bent hedonists piling one thrill upon another? Or are they merely ...

In Mike Nichols' extraordinary film, The Graduate, Anne Bancroft's Oscar-nominated performance as Mrs. Robinson added that character's name to our emotional vocabulary. As the older woman in Dustin Hoffman's life, Bancroft epitomized a phenomenon, at once seductive and predatory. Women like Mrs. Robinson have always been with us. Nowadays they call them Cougars. John Warren Wells spotted the phenomenon early on, and presents revealing interviews with 11 women who fit the job description with a purr and a growl. Here are four of them: MELANIE—One younger man was not enough. She could take ...

From the notebook of a female sex therapist: "The "patient" calls me this morning to confirm his appointment, arrived precisely at 11 a.m. He's 28, tax lawyer, divorced.

One of this book's six versatile ladies sums it up like this: "When we first began to get into swinging, our whole orientation was innocent, and essentially limited to the idea of mate-swapping. That was what we thought swinging was about--you met with another couple, paired off, and had sex. We never considered the possibility that homosexual relations would be involved. Well, you live and you learn. I found out today I liked making love to another woman. Today I can't envision swinging without lesbian relations. And I understand that ninety-two percent of wives who get into swinging also ...

In THE MALE HUSTLER John Warren Wells talks frankly and at length to seven male prostitutes. They tell exactly what they do for a living; how they find their clients, what they think about their clients--and themselves; they talk about money, about men, about women. This book is a ...

The Sexual Revolution is Here! From the introduction by Benjamin Morse, MD: "As John Warren Wells points out, the past decade has witnessed the triumph of the sexual revolution. With the bedroom as the battlefield, and with scarcely a shot fired in anger, we have in uncountable ways revised our manners of thinking and acting about intercourse (premarital and plain marital), homosexuality (male and female), and those forms of behavior which in turn have been called perversion, deviations, and preferences... "In an extreme example of reportorial honesty, Wells manages to convey more ...

In the wake of the great popular success of Coffee, Tea, or Me (purportedly by a pair of personable airline hostesses, but actually written by the equally personable Donald Bain), Irwin Stein of Lancer Books asked John Warren Wells to turn his attention to the same topic. Would that all requests from publishers were as pleasantly fulfilled. Here’s the blurb that appeared on the Lancer edition: “Did she serve you yesterday? “She is every man's dream mistress, pleasant and poised, cool under stress, always smiling and--because she is booked on another flight tomorrow morning--disposable...
