Between 1921 and 1933, Berlin developed a reputation for debauchery unrivaled by any city before or since. Unlike other European capitals where brothel districts were extensive but discreet, in Berlin sexual tourism was a primary industry. On any given evening, over 600 establishments, from massage parlors to sex clubs to cabarets to private torture dungeons, promised unique sights and pleasures. Using tourist guidebooks, historical memoirs, and more than 400 specialized journals and books, Mel Gordon has put together a controversial exploration of Berlin's erotic demiworld and its relationship to the rise of Nazism. Extensively illustrated with tons of photos and artwork (b&w). Big, softbound. This is the expanded edition. "The sexiest -- and strangest -- book of the season." -Talk Magazine. "A phenomenal, guiltily absorbing and beautiful coffee-table-sized masterpiece. A must for every perv who wishes they were living back in the good old days, when sex and porn still had the good taste to be as elegant as they weer nasty." -Shout Magazine.
