The 128-page book features graphic photographs of the singer simulating a wide range of sexual acts, including masturbation, group sex and sadomasochism.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell, rapper Vanilla Ice, actress Isabella Rossellini and porn star Joey Stefano all appear alongside Madonna in the book.
Madonna describes Sex as an accompaniment to her new studio album Erotica, which went on sale yesterday. An exclusive remix of her current single, also called 'Erotica', comes free with the book.
The first printing of Sex runs to 835,000 copies, a figure that Nicholas Callaway, the book's publisher, describes as "the largest initial release of any illustrated book in publishing history".
However, Sex was so expensive to produce that it will need to sell at least 350,000 copies to make a profit.
