Sex Press: The Sexual Revolution in the Underground Press, 1963–1979 dives into the unruly world of underground publishing during one of the most sexually and politically charged periods of the 20th century.

Compiled by Vincent Bernière and Mariel Primois and published by Abrams in 2012, it brings together provocative material from publications including Screw, Suck, The Body, Other Scenes, Yellow Dog, and Actuel. Beyond sex, these publications tackled everything from war and politics to feminism, human rights, and gay and lesbian liberation, often with little concern for what was considered socially acceptable at the time.

Packed with full-page facsimiles, Sex Press captures the raw, experimental energy of the underground press, tracing the shift from the liberated, anything-goes spirit of the 1960s into the increasingly explicit and commercialised pornography of the late ’70s. A fascinating snapshot of an era when sex, politics, and print collided.
