Thom Yorke, Radiohead Frontman, On The Cover Of Iranian Sex Manual

Thom Yorke, Radiohead’s esteemed singer and songwriter, is featured on the cover of an Iranian sex manual – and nobody knows why.

Thom Yorke On Sex Manual

The Iranian sex manual titled Marital and Sexual Problems in Men made Yorke its cover man. Yorke, however, was not the only American on the cover. The late writer John Updike is also featured, as is another man who has yet to be identified.

Iranian journalist Sobhan Hassanvand shared the image of the sex manual’s cover on Twitter earlier this week, writing, “A pic of @radiohead’s vocalist @thomyorke on a book about sex problems between couples published in Iran.”

Hassanvand had apparently first come across the image a few years ago.

Yorke – whose likeness was used previously on a sign promoting a product designed to help fight insomnia, skin problems and headaches in Russia – has yet to comment on the sex manual.
