Infantile Sexuality and Attachment
AU$60 Read MoreAdd to cartDaniel Widlocher
New York: Other Press, 2002.“We must agree, Freud wrote in 1905, that children’s sexual life, although dominated by the erogenous zones, also has components in which, from the beginning, other people appear as sexual objects. These people–the child’s relatives, caretakers, and mother in particular–are also objects of vital attachment. How can we differentiate between these two forms of connection that are so easily confused with one another? This controversy is as old as psychoanalysis, but recent challenging developments in attachment theory have made it impossible to maintain the traditional arguments. Commenting on a paper by Daniel Widlocher on the “eternal debate” between those who see asexual attachment as the earliest bond and those who see infantile sexuality as primary, eight major contributors to psychoanalytic child studies set forth the current state of thinking in both camps. With a preface by Jacques Andre and papers by Jean Laplanche, Peter Fonagy, Pierre Fedida, Jacques Andre, and Claire Squires.” (from jacket flap) Translated from the French ‘Sexualite Infantile et Attachement’ by Susan Fairfield.

The Little Big Penis Book
AU$30 Read MoreAdd to cartDian Hanson
Koln: Taschen, 2012.“”Sirs” begins the missive from our imaginary correspondent. “It’s not that I don’t love your original Big Penis Book, but that, perhaps, I love it too much. I now become anxious leaving the house without it, and long business trips are simply torture. Couldn’t you make a smaller, less obtrusive edition, still packed with men whose generative members measure over 8 inches, that doesn’t form a suspiciously large bulge in my carry-on luggage? And while you’re at it, could you make it highly affordable, since my pockets are as shallow as this premise?” Done! The Little Big Penis Book features over 150 massively endowed models from the 1940s through the ’90s, including photos by Bob Mizer of AMG, David Hurles of Old Reliable, Rip Colt of Colt Studio, Craig Calvin Anderson of Sierra Domino, Hal Roth of Filmco, Jim Jaeger of Third World Studios, Falcon Studios, Mike Arlen, Fred Bisonnes, Carlos Quiroz, and Charles Hovland in a compact and inexpensive format. Photos come not just from the original overstuffed 384-page edition, but from subsequent Big Penis Calendars, meaning that 30% of the content is unique to this edition. Add a reduced text to make more room for the stunning black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small, or just right-ask for a better deal?.” (publisher’s blurb)

De Prediker
AU$200 Read MoreAdd to cartDick Matena
Aerdenhout: Arboris, 1984.Provocative Dutch adult comic of corrupted scripture, horror, and explicit sex. Arguably the most controversial of Matena’s works, the artist reflecting in the magazine ‘Vooys’: “It was ridiculed, and it sank my entire international career. It caused me an enormous amount of trouble, and I absolutely did not enjoy that, but on the other hand I really did unsettle people with it, which is also a definition of art.”

Queens of Lesbia
AU$100 Read MoreAdd to cartMarya Lane
Los Angeles: Classic Publications, 1970.“The passion of some women for their own sex exceeds man’s passion for man, and even man’s lust for women! Here, in shocking clarity is the look of a woman’s erotic desire for her own kind–and the frenzy of her unbridled drives!” (from rear cover) EP 601. Lesbian pulp novel from the paperback original boom of the 1950s to the 1970s. Typically formulaic, issued in recognisable series with suggestive covers and titillating titles, most were written by men under female pseudonyms and marketed to men. A smaller number of authors, some of them lesbian or bisexual women (often also writing under pseudonyms), brought narrative sincerity and psychological depth to the same commercial format, and the books found a substantial lesbian readership at a time when few other depictions of lesbian life were in print.
