We're wondering why a respected, supremely talented hardcore erotic photographer like Michael Rosen would put together a hyooge .PDF e-book of artsy-nasty images and then just give it away for free. But we're not complaining, mind you: "Vanilla Sex", Rosen's newest body of work after four paper-published tomes, is a collection of photos that run the gamut of what he considers plain-flavored sex and features 53 photographs with an introduction by preeminent photography critic A.D. Coleman. Sayeth Rosen, "So, some photographs are of acts generally considered normal and standard (missionary position sex, for example), while others are of acts considered normal and standard only within the radical sex community." We consider ourselves warned in all the right ways ... and for screen-licking porn-lovin' cheapskates like us, the price is so right.
