Publisher's Synopsis
Hot on the stilettos of Patently Ridiculous comes Patently Erotic, Richard Ross' foray into the nexus of American capitalism, inventiveness-and sex. In this latest collection of actual patent applications, the author delves once again into the archives of the U.S. Patent Office to take a look at contraptions designed to titillate and facilitate.
Accompanied by commentary from the author, and illustrated by the inventors's own diagrams, inventions such as force-sensitive, sound-playing condoms and lap dance liners provide a revealing look at our issues with intimacy.
