SEX CARNIVAL

A whimsical, eye-opening record of one mans travels into the bold new world of porn. A guide for the uninitiated and the bewildered, a hands-on intro for anyone who wonders why the porno biz has become so mainstream in just the last few years. Brownsteins global travels take him from watching Tristan and other sex superstars accept their trophies at the annual porn awards ceremony in Las Vegas to witnessing the weekend shopping sprees of Dutch families as the kids push their grocery carts through the biggest sex supermarkets on earth. He takes us from dungeons and dragons pleasure chambers in New York to a different kind of pleasurethe rough trade in Hamburg. And along the way, he stops off to catch some lap-dancing in Montreal and all kinds of unexpected action at the sex bars of Paris. A lively account of our obsession with the business of sex, an odyssey of one mans encounters with a universe of titillation that is fresh, original, naughty, and very bizarre.
