The Book of Weird Sex 

Everything you ever wanted to know about sexual oddities from around the world – and through history – can be found in this witty and engaging volume. Read about the antics of the Egyptian Pharoah who was a serial castrator (his collection totaling over 13, 000); about the ancient Syrian queen who created 'a multitude of eunuchs' through her jealousy; about the paramedic who regularly fattened her dog up with hearty meals of adolescents' testicles; and about the scissor-happy wife who cut off her husband's prize asset and threw it out of the window, only to have a duck pick it up in its bill and waddle off with it – Did you know? In medieval times one of the few grounds for divorce was sexual incompetence, which had to be demonstrated before a court. In Romania men can be refused entry into the Orthodox priesthood if their members 'don't reach the minimum length set down in the rules'. Dr John Harvey Kellogg proclaimed his first breakfast cereal product as an antidote to masturbation.
