Deliciously dirty, seductively steamy, and scientifically sexy in its nature, A Steampunk’s Guide to Sex lifts our dickies to give us a gander at true Victorian naughtiness. If the tintype images don’t turn your crank (and I bet they do), then the bawdy glossaries, essays, and how-tos will certainly steam your goggles.

—Shanna Germain, Editor of Geek Love and Bound by Lust

Prostitution, pornography, sex toys, dirty stories, BDSM, gay New York, can-can dancers, strippers, tight-laced corsets, prudery, polyamory, consent, venereal diseases, piercings, birth control, aphrodisiacs, creepers, floggers, steam-powered vibrators, sex slang—mad historian Professor Calamity and his assembled crew of steampunk authors, artists, and performers share everything you want to know, and more, about sex under the reign of Victoria and sex in our modern subculture.
