Madonna's SEX Book

Fri, 11 Sep 2020 22:59:00 -0400

This week we're traveling back in time to one of the most titillating releases in Madonna's career: the SEX book. Published in 1992, with photography by Steven Meisel, SEX depicted a rarely clothed Madonna in various sexual situations alongside a who's who of guest stars -- and the book was a runaway success. Though its release did not go without controversy and backlash, to this day, SEX remains the fastest selling coffee-table book and is one of the most sought-after, out-of-print books in the country. So get your riding crop, crack open your spiral bound metal covers and take an unclothed walk down memory lane with us and, of course, Dita Parlo.
