Showing results for "Again!" in Human Sexuality

In attempting to find out why we're not having the sex we want, Sofie asks the questions: can we blame a lacking sex education? Is it all just sexual trauma? Where's the radical sexual liberation we were promised? What are we going to do about this? Should she have slept with that guy in that bush that one time? How do you overcome being a 35 year-old virgin (when it comes to queer sex, that is)? How do the socially awkward and the neurodiverse have sex?

Современная женщина находится в затруднительном положении. «Если ты хочешь получать удовольствие от секса, ты не должна стесняться обсуждать свои желания! Просто объясни партнеру, что тебе нужно! Ты имеешь на это право!»—то и дело слышит она. А если она не знает, что ей нужно и чего она хочет?.. Общество подталкивает женщину к активной демонстрации своей сексуальности и внушает ей мысль о том, что сексуальная раскрепощенность—это и есть эмансипация. Но разве не это же общество возлагает на нее ответственность за предотвращение сексуального насилия?..

Written by a psychologist and based on the Gottman Method for couples therapy, this book outlines a trauma-informed approach to help you and your partner heal. You'll find skills to help you cultivate a deeper bond—one that builds on friendship and shared experiences. You'll learn to set healthy boundaries and manage difficult emotions.

In this book, Katherine Angel surveys medical and psychoanalytic understandings of female desire, from Freud to Kinsey to present-day science; MeToo-era debates over consent, assault, and feminism; and popular culture, TV, and film to challenge our assumptions about female desire. Why, she asks, do we expect desire to be easily understood? In contrast to the endless exhortation to know what we want, Angel proposes that sex can be a conversation, requiring insight, interaction, and mutual vulnerability.
