This is exactly the kind of book I was expecting (hoping?) to find as I was looking for an adult novel geared for a heterosexual male.
Dr. Whitman was a university professor exploring sex and human sexuality, using some of his more, ah, advanced students for his study (male and female). But the reports of wild sex acts going on in his labs (all true, of course) didn't sit well with the conservative administration, and Whitman was immediately let go. But when one door closes ...
A powerful, secret organization had been following Whitman's work and has offered him full access to their laboratory and a healthy salary to continue his work for them. It's a dream come true and Whitman's chemical results ... KSLA-14 ... has proven to be an incredible aphrodisiac. A shot or whiff of the secret formula will turn even the most frigid female into a lust-mad, insatiable, sex maniac.
The opportunity to bed any (and every) woman a man desires is a formula that would be in much demand for males everywhere, but Whitman and company learn that there is a drawback ... the women are truly insatiable and can possibly drive a man to death through pure sexual exhaustion.
I want to briefly mention that this book, and many like it during the 1960's, is classified as 'sleaze.' This is understandable, especially given that in the 1960's this was downright porn. But the term 'sleaze' brings to mind really nasty, sordid fiction. Some books I've read for this era really do fit this description, but the better works are more like this - sexually motivated characters, graphic descriptions of sex and body parts, but surrounded by a plotted story.
I've read modern 'erotica' that was much more pornographic and sleazier than this! In fact most 'erotica' that is self-published in today's market has less of a plot and more graphic descriptions than this.
This was fun and funny and arousing (from a man's point of view) and really a fun read. I'm glad I spent two bucks to read this. It's definitely a product of its time and the 1960's mores and attitudes is obvious throughout.
