The Coxeman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Coxeman was a series of novels in the genre of sex pionage - erotic literature. The author name Troy Conway is a collective pseudonym of Michael Avallone , Johannes L. Bouma, Gardner Fox , Charles E. Fritch and Paul J. Gilette.

Rod Damon, the hero of the series, is a professor of sociology, particularly interested in exotic and historical sexual practices, which he tirelessly researches with the help of a large number of willing female students and with personal commitment. When one of these students turns out to be a minor, Damon is forced to work in a super-secret government organization that operates under the cover name "Thaddeus X. Coxe Foundation". From now on, Damon does as "Coxeman" what he did before as a sexologist, namely having lots of sex with very beautiful women. In addition, some sinister plans are thwarted.
