Thy Neighbor's Wife is a non-fiction book by Gay Talese, published in 1981 and updated in 2009. [1] [2]

The book is an exploration of sexuality in America from after World War II through the 1970s, with discussion of the free love subculture. It provides a snapshot of liberated pre-AIDS sexual morality.

In preparation for writing the book, Talese resided for several months at Sandstone Retreat, a clothing-optional, open sexuality resort for swingers, in California. [3]

In 1979, prior to the book's publication, United Artists purchased the film rights to Thy Neighbor's Wife for $2.5 million, which at the time was the largest amount ever paid for film rights to any book. [4] At the time, UA contemplated making as many as three films based on the book, [4] and in 1980, William Friedkin agreed to write and direct the first film, which he contemplated would receive an X rating. [5] [6]
