Don't be mislead by the title. The Armed Robbery Orgasm is a serious piece of sexological research, which delivers an important message. In order to cure a sexological disorder, you must first expose it. Mr.Keyes' book is a candid account of how an untreated sexologic disorder can be damaging to one's self and sometimes others.

As a therapist, I hand this book to patients that had hinted of any sexologic problems that were reluctant to say too much. After reading The Armed Robbery Orgasm, they arrive at their next session primed to discuss openly their sexologic concerns.

The authors'willingness to be completely open about behavior, thought, and feeling, especially relative to material which causes most people extreme embarrassment has paved the way for others to expose their secret lives in order to be helped.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has a sexological question, as well as, to professionals to treat sexologic impairments. This book gives individuals permission to be honest with themselves and others, especially about taboo topics.

Ronald W. Keyes & John Money
The Armed Robbery Orgasm:
A Lovemap Autobiography of Masochism

(Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Books, 1993) 164 pages

This book is an excellent inside account of a set of unusual sex-scripts
--perhaps the first book-length exploration of paraphilias
written by the person who has that imprinting.
Keyes traces his masochistic sex-scripts
(which call for spanking and domination by a woman) to childhood abuse.
His money-tinged attachment to his dominatrix
led him on a spree of armed robberies,
which put him in prison for 10 years,
where he researched sexology with the help of John Money
and produced this autobiography.
He also did informal research into the sex-scripts of his fellow prisoners.
If this book is widely read, it could profoundly change
our understanding and treatment
of behavior stimulated by imprinted paraphilias.
