Technology and sex don't seem like natural bedfellows, so to speak, but a quick glance at the bedroom proves otherwise. HIGH TECH SEX settles in for a revealing look at the long, often surprising and inevitably racy history of the border between sex and technology.

It's important to get in the mood, so a study of aphrodisiacs--from Spanish flies to Viagra--is a natural place to start. Adam Glickman, the president of Condomania, is among the many experts who help present the controversial history of contraception, which includes a surprising appearance by Lysol: it turns out the household cleaner has more uses than anyone would suspect today! Of course, technology has long played a role in stimulation.
