The Good Parts edited by J. H. Blair
Anne: As someone who cherishes a well-written sex scene in a work of mainstream fiction, I enjoyed this anthology of the "best bits" from the works of famous writers.

Aqua Erotica edited by Mary Anne Mohanraj
Anne: This falls in the "what will they think of next?" category. It's an erotic anthology that's printed on waterproof paper, so you can get turned on in your bath without wrinkling all your book pages. I love soaking in the tub, now I want ALL books printed on this material!

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice
Anne: This is Anne Rice doing a nasty version of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. She wrote it decades ago, under a pseudonym, but it's still really hot, and nicely written. (It's the first in a trilogy, which includes Beauty's Punishment and Beauty's Release.)

Naked Libido by Marianna Beck
Anne: One of the sexiest magazines ever published, Libido, put together this erotic photography book, with sexy shots of couples and gorgeous male and female nudes.

Jan Saudek
Anne: Saudek's highly stylized erotic portraiture is incredibly unique. His subjects are men, women and children, and his use of color on the black-and-white images evokes a very elegant and natural sensuality.

The Illustrated Kama Sutra
Anne: This version of the classic pillow book is magnificently-illustrated with full-color reproductions of Eastern art. My copy is well-thumbed!

It's Perfectly Normal by Robie Harris
Anne: This is a book for pre-teens about puberty and sexuality, but my daughter discovered it when she was 3 and it's helped us start talking about body parts, feelings, and sexuality. It's got great cartoon illustrations.

More Speaking of Sex by Meg Hickling
Anne: The best book for parents who want help talking to their kids about sex. Written by a charming Canadian sex educator, it's full of amusing anecdotes, age appropriate advice, and lots and lots of common sense.

The Erotic Mind by Jack Morin
Anne: Jack Morin's book gave me tremendous insight into the complexities of desire. It's one of those books you read and have one "aha" moment after another.

Anal Pleasure and Health by Jack Morin
Cathy: The first and still-the-best demystification of anal sexuality. Read this book and you'll be saying goodbye to the anal taboo and hello to a well-lubricated embrace of anal eroticism.

I Am My Lover
Anne: Photographs of women masturbating—I love this book as much for the sheer boldness of the subject matter, as much as for the great photos. You really feel the power of female orgasm from the images in this book.

Full Exposure by Susie Bright
Anne: Every book Susie Bright writes is worth a read—her views on sexuality and culture never fail to amuse and enlighten. Her latest, Full Exposure, explores the relationship between sexuality and creativity.

Sex for One by Betty Dodson
Cathy: Who but Betty Dodson has masturbated for science—hooked up to brain and cardiac monitors during a masturbation session—while listening to the Allman Brothers album Eat a Peach!? I love this woman, and she'll teach you to love yourself straight to ecstasy in her entertaining and profoundly radical guide to masturbation.

The Survivor's Guide to Sex by Staci Haines
Anne: This excellent book for survivors of sexual abuse helps readers reclaim a happy sex life. Finally, a guide to sexual healing that celebrates sex!

Erotic by Nature edited by David Steinberg and Nothing but the Girl: The Blatant Lesbian Image edited by Susie Bright and Jill Posener
Cathy: If I could take only one erotic photography book to a desert island, I'd refuse to go without taking two! Erotic by Nature is a gorgeous collection of black and white images distinguished by their intimacy, authenticity, and diversity. Nothing But the Girl is the single best collection of lesbian erotic photography ever compiled.

The Good Vibrations Guide to the G Spot by Cathy Winks
Cathy: A short, sweet, and thorough explanation of the G-spot and female ejaculation. Offers reassuring perspective, accurate anatomical information, an entertaining history lesson, and tips galore.

Plus, I wrote it.

Woman: An Intimate Geography by Natalie Angier
Cathy: An enlightening, empowering guide to female biology. Angier is witty and sex-positive—her debunking of the popular myth that woman are inherently less sexual and more monogamous than men should be required reading for all.
