Product Information

Jumping straight in at the deep end, as soon as you open the book, you’re greeted by a snap of Madge sitting on a stool wearing a skimpy bondage outfit. The initial print run for the first edition was one million copies in five continents and in five languages. Written by Madonna, photographed by Steven Meisel , designed by Fabien Baron, and edited by Glenn O'Brien, SEX was influenced by punk rock and fashion figures including Guy Bourdin, Helmut Newton and Robert Mapplethorpe. Sealed in a condom-like Mylar sheath, and appropriately titled SEX, the spiral-bound book dropped on October 21 to accompany Madonna’s fifth studio album, Erotica.

One photo showed a nude Madonna wearing a rabbit's tail, shaving the pubic hair of a naked man, and cavorting outdoors with a dog, suggesting bestiality. I was interested in pushing buttons and being rebellious and being mischievous and trying to bend the rules.

She felt women were coming out about their sexuality and the book's handling of the taboo issue was "a legacy, our contribution to the show", stressing "[t]he lesbian sub-cultural references borrowed by Madonna aren't our only possessions. Previous folding to outer mylar bag due to storage, some rubbing marks with light scratches to metallic boards, with minimal handling and usage, spirals showing a little wear in places but very secure.I’m talking fashion legends like Naomi Campbell and Isabella Rossellini, as well as music industry stars Big Daddy Kane and Vanilla Ice (who was dating Madonna at the time).
