Farewell, bearded Joy of Sex dude

When the Joy of Sex was released 38 years ago, it featured the epitome of male sexuality: Bearded Sex Dude.

Part John Lennon, part Alan Alda, part Kris Kristofferson, Bearded Sex Dude showed a generation what it meant to be a sensitive master of the erotic arts.

Bearded Sex Dude didn't need Cialis. He knew positions -- the inversion, the croupade, the birdsong at morning.



With its 2009 update, the Joy of Sex has replaced Bearded Sex Dude with a soap opera actor.

Not even remotely the same.
