Why has an indefinable state of being commanded the attention and fascination of the human race since the dawn of time? In Virgin, Hanne Blank brings us a revolutionary, rich and entertaining survey of an astonishing untouched history. From the simple task of determining what constitutes its loss to why it matters to us in the first place, Blank gets to the heart of why we even care about it in the first place.

Susie Bright celebrates the first amendment, lesbianism, single motherhood, and fantasizes an eventful night with Dan Quayle in this uninhibited and quirky collection of essays, articles, and book reviews written over the past few years. Offbeat and sexy, Bright defends Madonna, attacks Dr. Ruth, and is snubbed by Camille Paglia herself in this rather amazing and outspoken collection.

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.

The journey from sexual curiosity to finally coming out can be confusing without proper guidance and empowering role models. In Same Sex in the City, Lauren Levin and Lauren Blitzer provide women - gay, straight, and bi-curious alike - with firsthand insight into the advantages and challenges of being a lesbian. In prose that is at once honest and uplifting, the Laurens relate their own experiences and those of the women they interview, as well as offer serious advice, titillating anecdotes, and a positive attitude for girls who know they're gay - and for those who are wondering about their sexuality but are not yet sure whether their Prince Charming is really a Cinderella.

Twenty-six-year-old Mara Altman wanted to know what all the screaming was about. She'd lost her virginity at seventeen; grown up in southern California with sexually free parents; had lovers in India, Burma, and Peru; and spent a year in Bangkok observing all manner of depravity. And yet she was an attractive, successful, single woman in New York who'd never had an orgasm. And so she embarked on a wildly funny, emotionally resonant odyssey - a journey both inside and outside herself - only to discover that, for Mara, orgasm was connected to a part of her that no vibrator could reach.

If we are, in part, a product of our genes, can free will exist? Incisive and engaging, this indispensable tour of evolutionary biology runs the gamut of contemporary debates, from science and religion to our place in the universe.

When Deirdre Fishel and Diana Holtzberg began work on their documentary Still Doing It, they knew they were catching a wave. The women of the baby-boom generation who had been so outspoken about sexuality and freedom were about to turn sixty, yet no one was talking about the revolution in aging. Nor was anyone letting on about the big dark secret that women born before the boomers, even way before, were a hell of a lot more vital than the images we were getting, and many were still having sex-and loving it!

Intersex (For Lack of a Better Word) chronicles one person’s search for self in a world obsessed with normal. What is "intersex"? According to the Intersex Society of North America, the word describes someone born with sex chromosomes, genitalia, or an internal reproductive system that are neither clearly male nor clearly female. In first-person prose as intimate as a diary, Thea Hillman redefines memoir in a series of compelling stories that take a no-holds-barred look at sex, gender, family, and community.

Dentro al porno ci siamo tutti. Gaudenti e bacchettoni, adolescenti e attempati, single e fidanzati. È il video hot che teniamo in sottofondo mentre scriviamo una mail al capo. È il messaggio sexy che ci compare sullo schermo del telefono alla fine di un appuntamento noioso. È il brivido che ci attraversa in metropolitana immaginandoci avvinghiati allo sconosciuto seduto davanti a noi.

Confessions of a Failed Slut blends personal reflections - "How the Love Boat Ruined My Life" - with contrarian takes on porn (online and off), dating (ditto), "slut shaming," sex toys, "robot hookers of the near future," dinosaur erotica, the multiplication of genders and orientations, and what she calls "the epidemic of beta male faggotry" plaguing the land.

Impossible Motherhood is a heartrending and ultimately triumphant testimonial told by a writer looking back on her history of addiction. Abortion has never offered any honest person easy answers. Vilar's dark journey through self-inflicted wounds, compulsive patterns, and historical hauntings is a powerful story of loss and mourning that bravely delves into selfhood, national identity, reproductive freedom, family responsibility, and finally motherhood itself - today, Vilar is the mother of two beautiful children.

Applications de rencontre, objets connectés, pornographie… même dans nos vies amoureuses et sexuelles, les algorithmes font la loi ! Les algorithmes s’invitent dans nos vies amoureuses et sexuelles. Des applications de rencontre aux objets connectés, en passant par la pornographie à la demande, ils influencent désormais, et bien plus que nous le soupçonnons, nos perceptions, nos comportements et notre quête de l’amour. Dans son nouvel essai, Aurélie Jean explore les bouleversements induits par cette "algorithmisation" des sentiments et de la sexualité.

Las necesidades eróticas de la mujer actual van mucho más allá de superar las disfunciones o patologías sexuales. Tienen que ver con la libertad sexual. Una libertad llena de trampas. Porque, aunque ya nadie duda de la capacidad de la mujer de desear y de sentir placer —los movimientos generados por la famosa saga Cincuenta sombras de Grey y el famoso succionador de clítoris así lo demuestran—, su libertad es constantemente vigilada y juzgada.

El concepto de mindfulness se ha puesto en boga las últimas décadas en el ámbito de la investigación médica y psicológica, gracias a su contrastada efectividad para mejorar el equilibrio emocional, el sistema inmunológico y la salud neurológica y aun corporal de quienes lo practican. Hace referencia a una forma de afrontar nuestra cotidianidad basada en el cultivo de la atención plena, con el propósito de vivir realmente el momento, a menudo soslayado por las obligaciones, el ritmo acelerado de la vida moderna, el estrés o la tendencia de nuestra mente a proyectarse hacia el pasado o hacia el futuro.

Syndrome prémenstruel : informer, reconnaître et déculpabiliser « QU'EST-CE QUI NE VA PAS CHEZ MOI ? », « EST-CE QUE JE DEVIENS FOLLE ? » Vous êtes-vous déjà posé ces questions quelques jours avant vos règles ? Si oui, la réponse est SPM, ou syndrome prémenstruel, cet ensemble de symptômes physiques (douleurs aux seins ou au ventre, migraines, acné, fringales, nausées, etc.) ou psychologiques (nervosité, anxiété, agressivité, émotivité, voire dépression).

C’est avec son cerveau qu’on aime le mieux. Aujourd’hui, les coachings et méthodes de développement personnel fleurissent sur Internet en matière d’amour et de sexualité. Mais ils contiennent beaucoup de clichés et d’erreurs scientifiques. Par exemple, sachez que le concept de mâle alpha vient d'un emballement médiatique et que pour faire remonter sa libido, il vaut mieux dormir. Aurore Malet-Karas s’appuie sur la biologie, en repartant de la théorie de la sélection sexuelle de Darwin.

Ellen Matzdorf kann von sich behaupten, die erste Hebamme in Deutschland zu sein, die zugleich Bestatterin ist. Beruflich ist sie dem Start ins Leben genauso nah wie dem Ende. Am Anfang dieser ungewöhnlichen Verbindung stand, dass Ellen als Hebamme das Sterben eines Neugeborenen erlebte und sah, wie wenig Unterstützung trauernde Eltern in dieser Extremsituation bekommen. Sie beschloss, das zu ändern. Beiden Berufen widmet Ellen ihre beeindruckende Wärme, Menschlichkeit und Ernsthaftigkeit. Ihr Credo: Die Menschen sollen selbst bestimmen dürfen.
