The birds, the bees, and the makeup brush: you've never read a manual as warm, friendly, liberating, thorough (846 pages), and potentially sex-life-changing as the Guide to Getting It On! Neither had anyone in our office--which may be why our copies keep disappearing. Liz Brody has a frank conversation with author Paul Joannides.(Inhibited?)(Interview)

O: What do you say when you're at a cocktail party and someone asks, "So what do you do?"

PAUL: I usually say I'm a publisher or an author--"psychoanalyst" tends to make people just as uncomfortable as telling them you're a sex book writer. If anyone pries, I'm very adept at changing the subject.

O: And your wife--how does she take being married to Mr. Sex Guide?

PAUL: Toni is a criminal defense attorney, and she helps me with the editing. We've been married--oh, God, don't you dare say I don't know--I think nine years. When people ask her about the guide, she'll say, "It's just what Paul wishes sex could be."

O: Best home-tested technique in the book?

PAUL: I would be a dead man if I went there.

O: What's new in sex research?
