Hal is a mild-mannered IRS bureaucrat who suspects that his wife is cheating with her younger, more virile coworker.

Con más de 200 entrevistas realizadas tanto a hombres como a mujeres, la autora desvela las problemáticas de la sexualidad a la que se enfrentan ambos géneros a partir de los 40 años.

Con estas palabras Lydia Cacho define el punto de partida de este libro imprescindible. #EllosHablan son testimonios de diversos hombres que hablan de su infancia y ponen en evidencia la violencia que vivieron en su entorno. Ellos nos dejan ver cómo en el ambiente hogareño y hostil, los niños normalizan aquello que más tarde detonará en relaciones verticales, violentas y discriminatorias que avalan un sistema de impunidad y paternalismo salvaje.

Menschen, die sich daran erfreuen, andere zu quälen, ihnen Schmerz oder Leid zuzufügen, nennen wir Sadisten. Aber sie sind nicht alle gleich: Die Sadisten, die ihre Neigung als erotische Spielart oder Präferenz ausleben, lassen sich klar unterscheiden von jenen, die ihre Gewalt- und Tötungsfantasien nicht kontrollieren können, bis hin zu grausamsten Straftaten an unschuldigen Opfern. Als Straftäterpsychologin und Ermittlungsberaterin bei Kriminalfällen, als Szene-Insider und Therapeutin ist Lydia Benecke an Tätern wie Opfern nah dran.

Lydia Benecke, Co-Autorin des Long- und Bestsellers "Aus der Dunkelkammer des Bösen" geht dem Ursprung des Bösen nach. Die Gefängnispsychologin, Fachfrau für besondere Vorlieben (Paraphilien) und erfahrene Ansprechpartnerin für Kriminalermittler nimmt uns mit auf einen Streifzug der Delikte, die uns alle in unserer Gegenwart so beschäftigen: U-Bahn-Schläger, rohe Gewalt, Amokläufer, Tierquälerei, Sadismus, Kannibalismus, Kindesmissbrauch und brutale Misshandlung. Was geht in so einem Täter nur vor? Und wie nah dran sind diese schrecklichen Taten an den ganz normalen Fantasien, die jeder von uns schon einmal hatte?

Frauen gelten immer noch als wehrlos, sie leiden, dulden, verzeihen. Doch wenn die Psychopathie in ihrer Seele sich Bahn bricht, töten sie ebenso grausam wie Männer - und häufig eiskalt geplant. Lydia Benecke analysiert Fallgeschichten von Täterinnen vor dem Hintergrund neuester Forschungsergebnisse und zeigt, wie skrupellos Psychopathinnen sich Rollenklischees zunutze machen. So kommt es, dass Mörderinnen länger unentdeckt bleiben und Serientäterinnen jahrelang ihr Unwesen treiben können. Denn Frauen sind nicht nur raffinierter. Sie sind auch gewalttätiger, als man denkt.

Lou, 17 ans, ne vit que pour danser. L'école, la famille, l'amour: tout s'estompe devant cette passion brûlante. C'est dans ses guêtres et ses chaussons, entre les mains d'un partenaire russe capable de la propulser en silence vers le ciel, que la jeune danseuse fera ses premières armes en tant que femme. Mais, dans cet univers de tulle et de strass, les chutes sont aussi vertigineuses que les envolées…

"Tous les matins, je viens à la boîte, avec la boule au ventre, les nerfs en ébullition et le foie qui remonte jusqu'aux amygdales, me demandant qu'est-ce qui pourrait bien me tomber dessus aujourd'hui !"

Then one day, everything changed: Lydia's mom took her to a new place - not a house but a big building with stone columns and tall tall steps. The library. In the library, Lydia found her special spot across from the sunny window at a round desk. For behind that desk was her new friend, the librarian.
