Sex is often discussed either from the viewpoint of biology or from the viewpoint of culture. Here is an attempt to combine both approaches and write a guide to human sexuality—explaining how, atop powerful natural instincts, a wide variety of psychological nuances, cultural codes, and taboos accumulate.
In search of an answer to why the same basic natural mechanisms produce the most bizarre expressions of sexual activity, the authors consider a broad range of topics—from the neurobiology of libido and debates over the G-spot to the reasons behind the interest that middle-aged housewives show in gay porn.
If you want to find out how your sexuality is arranged, this book will give you plenty of answers, teach you to ask the right questions, and will surely help you understand both other people and yourself better.
