Whether we are contending with shame, healing from trauma, or experimenting in the bedroom, there is a common tendency to cast anything sexual as a problem best solved in private. Fears of judgment fuel an air of oppression around something that should be liberating. According to feminist sociologist Angela Jones, we must reject this solitary vision of desire to claim the pleasure fundamental to our freedom.

Auch Paare, die eine gute und lebendige Beziehung führen, kennen sie: die Langeweile im Bett, das schwindende Verlangen nach dem Partner. David Schnarch, Pionier der Sexualtherapie, verneint die Frage vehement und entfaltet hier seine in zahllosen Paartherapien beobachteten neuen Erkenntnisse: Sexuelles Verlangen entsteht im Kopf und hängt mit allen Verhaltensmustern in einer Beziehung zusammen. Mehr über unsere Sexualität zu wissen bedeutet, die Dinge ändern zu können: Mehr Nähe, tieferes Empfinden und eine erfüllende Sexualität sind möglich.

An elegant and erotic fully illustrated essay collection that tells a bold new history of human sexuality through 100 iconic objects, spanning from prehistoric times through today. Where there’s sex, there are objects—objects that enhance it, spice it up, record it, explain it, cover it up...

Across the developed world, birth rates are collapsing, families are shrinking, and entire societies are aging into silence. This is not a temporary crisis, nor an economic anomaly. It is something deeper, quieter, and far more unsettling. In “The Unborne World”, Isaac Volpe delivers a powerful and unflinching analysis of the demographic, cultural, and psychological forces behind the greatest transformation of our time: a civilization that is slowly choosing not to reproduce itself.

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?..

Examinando mitos e arquétipos da Deusa em diferentes sociedades, descobrimos como Sua marginalização reflete os padrões de desigualdade de gênero e opressão ao longo da história. Ao abordar uma espiritualidade que não está fundamentada na tradição patriarcal, a historiadora e teóloga Carol P. Christ, doutora em Estudos da Religião pela Universidade Yale, retorna a cosmovisão ancestral que celebra a vida, as mulheres, a criatividade e a interconexão com a natureza.

"Scheiß drauf, was die Leute denken" – klingt nach Befreiung, fühlt sich aber oft eher wie ein Sprung ins kalte Wasser an. Susanna Bouchain, bekannt als spicyladyy_, weiß genau, wie es ist, zwischen Dorfklatsch, Social-Media-Shitstorms und den eigenen Unsicherheiten zu schwimmen. Mit...

One spouse, two-point-four kids, a golden retriever and a white picket fence. That's the goal, right? For some people that sounds perfect. For others, the monogamous 'default' feels restrictive and uncomfortable, and a more flexible approach allows them to flourish. In this honest, open guide...

Something has gone wrong with desire. The most sexually liberated generation in history is having less sex than any before it. In Britain, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, the data tell the same story: more freedom, less wanting. The problem is not repression. It is something we barely have a name for.

Despite being one of the leading thinkers of the second wave feminist movement, today Shere Hite is little known, little written about, and, unsurprisingly, little read. Her groundbreaking book, The Hite Report, was the first feminist exploration of the link between sex and male power. It sold millions of copies when first published in 1976 and revolutionized the way people thought about marriage and the female orgasm. How, then, did it, and Hite, disappear from public consciousness?

Brought to you by Penguin. If online pornography is a circus, its tent has been pitched all around us. And we’re not just spectators – we’re the prancing ponies. Pornography is everywhere. Every day, tens of thousands of hours of sexual content is uploaded to the internet. In a single year...

Riotous and galvanizing, Tits Up excavates the diverse truths of mammary glands from the strip club to the operating room, from the nation’s oldest human milk bank to the fit rooms of bra designers. Thornton draws insights from plastic surgeons, lactation consultants, body-positive witches, lingerie models, and “free the nipple” activists to explore the status of breasts as emblems of femininity. She examines how women’s chests have become a billion-dollar business, as well as a stage for debates about race, class, gender, and desire.

Identity politics occupies the front line in today’s culture wars, pitting generations against each other, and progressive cities against the rural traditions of our past. Rich in data and detail, Who Are We Now? goes beyond today’s headlines to connect our current reality to a larger more-than-human story. At the heart of the book is a set of surveys conducted between 2016 and 2021, asking thousands of anonymous respondents all over the United States questions about their behavior and identity, and especially about gender and sexuality.

Was hat Scham mit Weiblichkeit zu tun? Scham zu empfinden ist vollkommen normal, ganz unabhängig vom Geschlecht. Doch Frauen schämen und entschuldigen sich besonders oft: für den eigenen Körper, weil sie als zu erfolgreich gelten, Single sind oder kinderlos bleiben. Anika Landsteiner hat ebendieses Phänomen auch bei sich festgestellt und geht der Frage nach, warum das so ist.

Through the lens of her years spent as a sex worker, Charlotte Shane offers a “rigorous and compulsively readable memoir” (New York magazine) exploring what it means to be a heterosexual woman and a feminist in a misogynistic society. “A memoir of sex work that is also a poignant love...

Who ever imagined that sexually transmitted disease would be on the rise in the 21st century? That as teen pregnancies declined, pregnancies of unmarried women would increase? That 20th century shock at a leader’s hidden sexual sin would dissolve into 21st century indifference about a leader’s public bragging? This update of Nora Fozard’s Christian classic about the secrets of sex and marriage examines the root causes of sexual sin and offers practical solutions from the Bible for women, men, and church leaders.

Bronislaw Malinowski's seminal work, Sex and Repression in Savage Society, delves into the intricate dynamics of sexuality and societal control within primitive cultures. Published in 1927, this ethnographic study challenges prevailing Victorian notions of sexuality and sheds light on the nuanced ways in which indigenous societies navigate and regulate sexual behaviors. Malinowski's immersive fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands enables him to provide a rich anthropological account, exploring the role of rituals, customs, and taboos in shaping sexual practices.

Qui écoute ce texte ne regarde plus le corps d'une femme de la même manière. Qui écoute ce texte ne pense plus au sexe de la même manière. Depuis sa parution aux États-Unis en 1998, Les Monologues du vagin ont déclenché un véritable phénomène culturel : rarement pièce de théâtre aura été jouée tant de fois, en tant de lieux différents, devant des publics si divers... Mais que sont donc ces Monologues dans lesquels toutes les femmes se reconnaissent ? Il s'agit ni plus ni moins de la célébration touchante et drôle du dernier des tabous : celui de la sexualité féminine.
