Item description from seller

Beacon B725X. Erotic novel. Wife-swapping, polyamory themes. Gentle rubbing and reading-wear. Previous owner's name written on inside cover. Cover copy: FOUR WANTING WANTONS.each waiting for a fifth to play bedroom bridge. Roz wanted her husband. Elly wanted anybody's husband. Nan wanted an encore to seduction. Maggie wanted taboo caresses. Quietville, it might have been called. A place for kids to grow up on sunlit lawns and backyard swimming pools. Anybody's Eden. But no place for a woman-any woman with a warm need for love, that is.Yet this suburban paradise was a whole community of such women. For each morning every eligible man left for the city-leaving loneliness, frustration and unfulfilled hungers in his wake. It was inevitable that the wives left behind would get themselves into trouble. Roz Barclay, for instance, held out for a while by a peculiar method. until the flames trapped within her erupted like a volcano. Elly Carr sweetened her lot with a deliveryman. Nan Haskell arranged to be ravished. And Maggie Whitcomb waited patiently for neighboring housewives to give up their men - and share the unnatural desires her own husband rejected! A novel of the women marooned in modern suburbia - stewing in their own desires, and starving amid plenty. First paragraph(s): THE alarm clock rang at precisely fourteen minutes to seven. It was an electric clock that had been painfully acquired at the cost of several months' worth of trading stamps accumulated from a gas station, a supermarket and a dry-cleaner. Since Howard Haskell invariably forgot to wind alarm clocks, this electric clock was a blessing of sorts. Power failures, not uncommon in Cheshire Point, tended to negate its value, having once conspired to deliver Howard at the offices of MacNaughton and Byrnes at 12:15 in the afternoon. But this morning there was no power failure. The alarm clock once again proved a blessing, exploding into noise at, as has been noted, precisely fourteen minutes before seven o'clock. 3rd Printing. Size: 4.25" x 7". 155 pages. Text unmarked. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Some age-toning to page edges. Slight reading-wear and bumping to corners. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 Pounds. Category: Vintage Paperbacks::Sleaze 1960s; Inventory No: 035750.…
