I must have read Bell Jar three times and do not recall sex, but would guess that she mentions it. and it sucks. I never did find a great sex book through the academic route. I soon turned to Anais Nin and Henry Miller, and that was not so hot either. That is also when I read Portnoy's Complaint. I suppose I discovered Judith Krantz not long after. Supermarket Lit is where its at when you are 16

I started reading my mother's stash of bodice rippers when I was seven (with my mother's permission) so I didn't have to look to actual literature to find out about sex. I also had HBO and Showtime in my bedroom on my tv starting when I was about 8. I think having all this early knowledge about sex is what caused me to hang onto my virginity until my mid-20s.
