I strongly recommend _The Secrets Of The German Sex Magicians_ by
Frater U:.D:., available from Llewelyn Books (Call 1-800-THE MOON for
ordering info). It is one of the very few books on Western Sex Magick
that is not uselessly arcane, totally sexist, or both. Louis Culling's
_Sex Magic_ is not TOO bad, although it's a bit dated.

I am part of a Sex Magickal working group that roughly is following
the structure laid out in Frater U:.D:.'s book, so if you have any
specific questions, please drop me some e-mail and I'll trey to answer
them; I recommend reading the book first in order to have a grasp of
what we're working on. But feel free to ask away in any case...
