In 1860s London, two loosely overlapping groups of bohemians - the Cannibal Club and the Aesthetes - challenged the buttoned-up Victorian propriety to promote erotic freedom and expression.

In Orgasms for Two: The Joy of Partnersex, Dr. Dodson debunks the myths that keep us from having satisfying - and mutually satisfying - sex lives.

She writes often from her own experiences, because she feels people learn best through example, and she writes from the knowledge acquired through years of working with women and men, teaching workshops, and doing research.

Notorious Frank Harris in his own lifetime at the beginning of the 20th century was an editor, journalist, and publisher - a well known personality both professionally and personally as his aggression and bravado made him larger than life.

Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939) hielt die fünf Vorlesungen im September 1905 anlässlich der 20-jährigen Gründungsfeier der Clark University in Worcester Mass, Massachusetts, USA. Als Begründer der Psychoanalyse wurde Freud weltweit bekannt. Er gilt zudem als einer der einflussreichsten Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Bis heute nimmt Freuds Lehre Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der psychotherapeutischen Behandlung und der psychosomatischen Auffassung von Krankheitsbildern. Der Mittelpunkt seiner psychotherapeutischen Arbeit bildete die Behandlung der Patienten anhand der "freien Assoziationstechnik".

Philosophe allemand, Arthur Schopenhauer expose sa philosophie, très tôt élaborée, dans son ouvrage majeur "Le Monde comme volonté et comme représentation" (1819) où il énonce que : "La volonté singulière d'un individu n'a qu'une existence illusoire, elle est de toutes parts immergée dans le jeu infini et absurde d'une réalité qui la dépasse et finit par la détruire".
