What is love? It's more scientific than you think. Through 10 lectures, Dr. Wind Goodfriend surveys the biology of interpersonal attraction, sexual preference and desire, and conflict resolution. You'll look at a variety of romantic notions, common myths, and love stereotypes through the lens of science in order to break them down and better set expectations when it comes to keeping a long-term relationship happy and healthy. You'll apply biology, psychology, and anthropology to that "spark" we feel when we are attracted to someone, to better understand what that feeling is.

Patpong, in the heart of Bangkok, teems with bars and sex shows, catering mainly to farangs - foreigners. Cleo Odzer, a young anthropologist, spent three years studying the area. Gaining the confidence of the bar girls and bar boys, she interviewed them at length, lived among them, accompanied several back to their families in remote villages. She also got to know their customers, those in for a night or in forever (many fell in love and stayed on in Patpong). From Odzer's account emerges a far different picture from the cliched image of the prostitute.

Witty, snarky, and (deep down) sincere, Elizabeth Paulson offers advice and encouragement for 20- and 30-somethings on their quest to find love - or at least requited lust.

Researchers of human behavior have identified an "orgasm gap": Men usually orgasm during intercourse, whereas women often do not. This book addresses this mystery. The two leading explanations are either that women are "psychologically broken"—Freud's theory—or badly designed—the "by-product theory." However, there is a much more compelling third explanation. Evolutionary biology, anatomy, physiology, and direct sex research suggest women have evolved under their own selection pressures and orgasm is a fitness-increasing consequence of such selective factors.

When two humans come together as lovers, they mirror the divine union—the most sacred act of creation—and connect directly with the energy of all life. Thus, the energy of your sexuality is the source of the greatest “magic” of all, namely the creation of life itself. On The Art of...

Das Hörbuch enthält die Essenz der Lebenserfahrung und über 40-jährigen Arbeit der beiden Autoren an einer neuen menschlichen Grundlage für eine Kultur des Friedens. Die beiden Autoren zielen nicht darauf ab, ein brüchiges System zu reparieren. Sie entflechten den Bereich von Liebe und Sexualität aus dem kapitalistischen Denksystem, in dem alles auf einen Warenwert reduziert und zu einem Bedürfnis erniedrigt worden ist, das ab jetzt befriedigt werden muss.

The figures are shocking: 40% of American women and nearly a quarter of American men have been sexually assaulted. While #MeToo stories and the survivors who shared them have helped combat sexual harassment in the workplace, improved police interventions, and resulted in high-profile convictions, the public has only just begun to reckon with the impact sexual assault has on survivors. The ongoing silence points to the still-taboo intersection of two subjects: sexual assault and sexuality. Sex After Sexual Assault explores this crossroads through the lens of survivors' own stories.

A tense, provocative and nuanced novel about a rape accusation in an idyllic commune. 

Posvátná prostitutka ztělesňuje jak sexuální, tak duchovní stránku ženy. Je symbolem fyzické rozkoše a duchovní extáze, zároveň však zůstává panenská. Její panenství nemá nic společného s fyzickým stavem - je vyjádřením jejího vnitřního postoje. Nespokojuje se s rolí pouhého odrazu muže, ať už jde o otce, bratra, milence, manžela nebo syna. Je vnitřně sjednocená sama se sebou, dělá to, co dělá, nikoli z touhy, aby se líbila, získala nad druhými moc nebo si vydobyla lásku.

With two out of every three Americans overweight or obese, scientists are studying how excess fat changes physical and mental health, demographers are calculating how it's shortening life spans, and economists are debating the impact it has on America's productivity and global competitiveness. But how weight affects intimacy and sexuality is barely discussed. Yet, it's a question of high importance for the tens of millions of Americans who are overweight or obese and having difficulty sexually and romantically.
