Modern Culture References
In a deleted scene from a 1993 episode (Krusty Gets Kancelled) of the animated sitcom The Simpsons, aired as part of The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular, Krusty the Clown attempts to market a book extremely similar to Sex as a means of resolving his financial woes. Krusty is seen in a suggestive pose on the front cover. Unlike Madonna, however, Krusty apparently never appeared fully nude, as he quickly claimed that he "used a stunt butt."
In the 2004 episode of South Park titled "Pre-School", the main characters use the Sex book to understand what a pair of female breasts look like.
In 2010, writer-performer Greg Scarnici released a book parody of Sex titled Sex in Drag—which was shot entirely on Fire Island, NY.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or culture:
“The shelf life of the modern hardback writer is somewhere between the milk and the yoghurt.”
—John Mortimer (b. 1923)
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
