Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex*But Were Afraid to Ask

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex*But Were Afraid to Ask was a best-selling sex manual written by Dr. David Reuben and published in 1969. The book was widely influential and loosely inspired the Woody Allen comedy of the same name (which took a less clinical approach). The title also spawned many jokes along the "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About [Blank]" lines.
