When Sex Was Dirty

By Josh Alan Friedman

5 1/4 x 8 1/2 in, 133 pages, B&W photo insert, ISBN 1-932595-07-4, $12.95

“Now follow along with veteran sex reporter Josh Alan Friedman as he revisits 1980s New York City ‘when porn was filth and sex was still dirty.’ His book When Sex Was Dirty chronicles the freaks of 42nd Street and all the starlets, studs, strippers, and ‘strike-out artists’ who made the era of getting screwed, screwed over, and screwed up, fascinating. So dirty you’ll want to shower afterwards, but so compelling, you’ll keep coming back for more.”
— Playgirl

“…(B)rings readers vividly back to the oversexed Manhattan nightclubs of the mid-’80s… ‘The Rise and Fall of Al Goldstein’—the collection’s most memorable entry—traces with empathy and amazement the arc of the infamous pornographer, for whom Friedman once worked. The book… will interest Friedman’s (and the old Times Square’s) admirers.”
— Publishers Weekly

Welcome to the twilight days of debauchery, when porn was filth and sex was still dirty.

Josh Alan Friedman, author of Tales of Times Square (Feral House), provides face-to-face reporting from licentious New York City of the 1980s–a compelling assortment of pimp laureates, porn starlets, evangelical strippers, bizarre 42nd Street inhabitants, Screw magazine staffers, “the strikeout king,” and his stud-like counterpart, “God’s Gift to Women.”

Josh Alan Friedman is also the co-author (with Drew Friedman) of Warts and All, co-editor (with Nile Southern) of Now Dig This: The Unspeakable Writings of Terry Southern, 1950-1995 (Grove Press), and contributor to It’s a Man’s World: Men’s Adventure Magazines, the Postwar Pulps (Feral House).
