We live under a cheerful delusion that sex might nowadays be easy because we have been ‘liberated’ from the hang-ups and taboos of days gone by. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Despite a veneer of openness, sex remains an extraordinarily complicated business, hard to discuss and surrounded by shame and unspoken desires. This book provides relief from the loneliness and confusion. It demonstrates that, far from thinking about sex too much, we haven’t begun to think about it as deeply as we should. Chapters include: Liberation and Non-Liberation Kissing Blushing Degradation Uniforms The Gaze of Strangers Infidelity What We Really Want Through Sex. *Contains adult content
