  Alex Comfort Page; anarchist, poet, sexologist from the Daily Bleed's Anarchist Encyclopedia

Professor Alex Comfort, British-born physician, novelist, anarchist, pacifist, well-known as the author of "The Joy of Sex: A Gourmet Guide to Lovemaking" and psychiatry lecturer at Stanford between 1974 and 1983 died March 26 after suffering the last in a series of strokes.

 Peace Matters
Alex Comfort, who died on 26 March, aged 80, amid much acclaim in the Press for a variety of contributions to society, in earlier days played a notable part in the radical wing of the peace movement.
Comfort dated his lifelong pacifism to his time at school, and with the coming of conscription in the Second World War he refused war service, as he put it, rather than saying he claimed exemption as a conscientious objector whilst pursuing his medical studies.
In 1990 Alex Comfort gave permission for part of his major book, Authority and Delinquency in the Modern State (1950), to be reprinted as a PPU pamphlet.

Comfort’s story was much different — he came to The Joy of Sex after an illustrious and multifarious career in literature and science.

First published in 1972 to cries of relief from the sexually inexperienced and howls of outrage from the usual suspects, the taboo-busting sex manual THE JOY OF SEX has sold over 12 million copies worldwide.
But author Dr. Alex Comfort's lively, readable prose--and his matter-of-fact attitude towards subjects ranging from armpits to the "x position"--remain.
He proposes novel uses for the big toe, and usefully explores the many avenues open to bondage fans, as well as including a set of rules for the safe performance of such practices.

The smorgasbord of sexual positions were most readers' favorite part of Alex Comfort's classic The Joy of Sex, and they also seem the least dated aspect since the original was published in 1972 (an updated version was released in 1991).
The postures it provides range from the exotic (some of which represent entire countries--"Indian style" or "Chinese style") to relatively simple ones that couples would probably happen upon themselves if they tried long enough--the point is that having plenty of options is sexy in itself.
The illustrations, by John Raynes, remain tasteful yet remarkably vivid--a Kama Sutra for the late 20th century.
