Movie stars do it better, or so it seems. Sex on the silver screen unfolds in such a perfect way and we get sucked in. Whether we want to admit it or not, much of our sexual behavior has been learned from the movies. From Joe Bob Briggs comes Profoundly Erotic, a collection of essays on sex in film. This guide explores the most seminal films―from cult classics to Hollywood blockbusters―that both shaped and reflected America’s changing mores and codes about sex. Briggs, who has been called the Leonard Maltin of cult movies, makes good on his reputation as an off-kilter and daring movie guru in this revealing look at filmed fornication. Profoundly Erotic follows Joe Bob’s popular Profoundly Disturbing. Now Joe Bob takes on the key films that turn us on. Illustrated with lurid stills and posters, the book strips down the hottest screen moments in history with the bodies we adore, from Rudolf Valentino and Mae West to Brigitte Bardot and Sharon Stone. In addition to the ten main movies, the book features a hundred more capsule reviews in “For Further Frisson” sidebars. |

Publishers Weekly said "a rather wryly amusing, informative study of productions that some publicly disparage and privately relish. . . . The book merits attention from fans tired of high-minded essays about classics ...and explains why crass, tasteless pictures often make more impact than those released with the stamp of respectability." Reason magazine said "Briggs shows how such movies have actually thrived on disapproval and heavily influenced mainstream cinema." Jane magazine said "Super-funny behind-the-scenes histories of the 15 most influential gross-out flicks". Videoscope says" Briggs looks at each film in his usual, let's-not-take-this-too-seriously manner, while still offering quite a bit of interesting information on the impacts these films had on their times.... This isn't just a catalogue of films, but thoughtful appreciations." Vanity Fair says "Renegade movie reviewer Joe Bob Briggs brings you an all-you-can-stomach shlockaganza of underground cult flicks in Profoundly Disturbing" Some folks have expressed an interest in obtaining the titles Joe Bob features in this book.
