Pavement Princesses by Kathy Woods

Pavement Princesses
by Kathy Woods 
1977, Fawcett Gold Medal

A thin veneer of investigative journalism over Penthouse Forum style smut vignettes of the pavement princesses, also known as lot lizards, sex workers who frequent truck stops. A few accounts make some attempt at realism, but a lot of the narrative depends on the notion that truckers are incredibly desirable and women get on the game for the amazing sex. Too sleazy for a sociological text, a bit restrained for 70s smut, though some interest as a time capsule.

Encyclopedia of Abnormal Sex by Roger Blake

Encyclopedia of Abnormal Sex
by Roger Blake
1965, Brandon House

One of a flood of fake sexology texts that came in the wake of the Kinsey Report, the fake scholarship used as a cover for hard core vignettes.

Highlights include a family straight out of the Aristocrats, a bike seat sniffing high school janitor, and a man who would gather up a crowd of homeless people to watch him be buggered by his chauffer, which I think was a line in Soft Cell's Sex Dwarf.

The only move new to me was 69 bagpiping, and the claim that Europeans and gay Americans are way more into armpits than American straights are.

An interesting aspect is how much is invested in the male/sadist/dominant and female/masochist/submissive binary.

Along Came a Swapper

Along Came a Swapper
by Richard B. Long
1970, Adult Books

Two couples swap partners, eventually leading to a swingers party. I guess Long thought a subplot was needed - one of the husbands talks to his boss every few dozen pages about how it would suck to be industrial espionaged. After the swingers party turns out the entire set up was to blackmail him in an industrial espionage scheme. The wife worries about her reputation so she divorces him and moves in with the blackmailers, while the husband tells his boss, who doesn't care.

Carnival of Death by Day Keene

On the day they gave the money away . . . the shopping center was a scene of confusion. A carnival had been set up nearby, and now a clown was throwing coins and bills to the eager crowd.

Suddenly the gay scene changed to nightmare. A man clutched his stomach and dropped to the ground. A clown was shot; a young mother was killed by a stray bullet. The merrymakers were no longer the audience, but unwilling pawns in a dangerous game - with life or death as the stakes.
