Coming Out Swinging
An insider’s Guide to the Third Sexual Revolution Volume 1
1990-2010
Jeff Booth provides detailed coverage of the sexual explorations couples were participating in right before and after the turn of the 21st century. With humor and strong storytelling, Jeff chronicles his journey from comedian and writer to sex educator and sexual adventurer. He describes his early involvement with nudism and how it led to he and his wife getting involved in swinging, BDSM, polyamory, and other non traditional forms of sexual expression. He takes you behind the scenes of the largest swing convention in the U.S., into private sex parties in mansions, and goes into detail about what really went on at Hedonism II in Jamaica. He takes you into the real world of BDSM, into private dungeons and into the very private parties with performers who practice BDSM in their private lives as well as on camera working for major adult studios. He shares what it is like to be married and share girlfriends with your wife, and his experiences living with four women. Based on his journals written at the time, this intimate and honest account provides an in depth look at the alternative sexuality scene.

An insider’s Guide to the Third Sexual Revolution Volume 2
1990-2010
Jeff Booth provides a detailed behind the scenes look into the adult industry, which saw explosive growth at the turn of the 21st century. Jeff recounts his experiences chronicling fetish, swing, porn and adult product conventions, evaluating adult products and working with the adventurous volunteers in his product testing lab, and hanging out on porn sets. He interviewed and hung out with a wide variety of people making their livings from sex (porn stars, prostitutes, sex educators, erotic writers, artists and photographers). He also got paid to have sex on camera, witnessed and experienced a number of significant censorship cases, was an advisor to one of the largest swing clubs in the country and to a sex hotel, started a surprisingly successful sex toy store with an educational bent which led to lectures and TV appearances as a sex toy expert, and launched a school for adult sex education in downtown Los Angeles. He has many funny, entertaining, and sexy stories to tell about his experiences with sex professionals and about becoming one himself.
