ABOUT THE SERIES

Steve Victor is a man who studies sex.

He studies it from all angles as well as upside-down and right-side-up. He not only studies it, he loves it and that makes his research even more fun. He is also the one-man organization known as O.R.G.Y.

O.R.G.Y. stands for, according to Victor, the Organization for the Rational Guidance of Youth. He named it that because having a name that correctly indicated the true purpose of studying sex would likely get too many doors shut in his face and to Victor, the open doors meant more chances for money and the real meaning of Obtaining Research Grants for Yours truly.

While Victor freely admits that he is working hard for grant money to continue his amazing life style, grants are not his only source of income for as he travels about the world, he also does odd jobs here and there for a 'most secret of American spy organizations'. This unnamed agency, which is definitely not the CIA, might send him to various action spots in the world but it is his lust that makes the spots get active.

At the height of the Bond craze, with Goldfinger having just been released and Thunderball in production, Lancer books began publishing a series of semi-spoofs of the Bond genre with an emphasis on the sex. The character would not just be a secret agent who loved sex, however, he would be an expert at love making who happened to be at times a secret agent.

The wildness of the sex and the unabashed audacity of the plots clicked with randy readers and the sub-genre of spy sex romps began. Even as the lasciviousness of the series was being decried from many directions, the concept was being rapidly copied by many others, most notably the Coxeman, and the Man From T.O.M.C.A.T.. Less well-known but still on the scene were the Lady from L.U.S.T., the Miss from S.I.S., the Man from S.A.D.I.S.T.O., the Man from P.A.N.S.Y., and the Girl from H.A.R.D. None enjoyed the success of the original, however.

MY COMMENTS

I can take a parody for a short while and a 'sex romp' as this series has been described more than once, for a bit as well. But the trouble with adventures like these is that that is all there is. Plot is gone. Story is forgotten. Character is absent. Just more and more of the same.

Still, of all the series out there from the 60's, Ted Mark was the best, the granddaddy of them all and he is worth a read or two. And it is important to remember that the mid 60's were considerably different from the mid 00's and a young man in his late teens would have had a totally different attitude than an old fart in his 50's.

There were two additional Man From O.R.G.Y. books published in 1982: A Stroke of Genius and A Stroke of Lightning. These are both by Ted Mark and while they're rare, I have both of them.

Enjoyed what I read of these. The author had a knack for situation comedy if nothing else.
