<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>BOOK DESCRIPTION</strong></span><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong></strong></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br /></strong></span>From Adam, Eve, and the Serpent to financier Warren Buffett, Susie Buffett, and Astrid Menks, the menage a trois has long been part of he landscape of human love. Explored in literature and flirted with in films, this lovestyle is taboo for some and the private daydream of countless others. But the menage has also been the daily, loving reality of a remarkable number of people throughout history and in modern times as well.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Barbara Foster, Michael Foster, and Letha Hadady are writers and scholars who themselves are involved in an ongoing, loving partnership and are thus remarkably well suited as commentators on this unconventional lifestyle. In this book based on extensive research, they trace the menage a trois over the centuries—both in real life and as portrayed in art—and offer a deft and compelling portrait of three-fold love. In addition, hey reveal the truth about the world's best-known trios, from biblical patriarch Abraham, his wife Sarah, and he handmaiden Hagar to Henry and June Miller and Anaïs Nin and even Beat writer Jack Kerouac and Neal and Carolyn Cassady.<br /><br />The authors differentiate clearly between a love triangle and a menage a trois: the "bloody" triangle generally springs out of an affair or adultery, and one of the three is excluded. In a menage on the other hand, all three participants have equal status and input, and, most important, the relationship is entered into by mutual decision and consent.<br /><br />Fascinating reading for anyone interested in human sexuality, sexual ethics, or the future of fundamental relationships, Three in Love makes an intelligent and solid case for the menage a trois as an alternative to the standard two-person partnership ad answers he current cry for "family values" with a wide reworking of the traditional family unit.</p>Angmimikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103483426722963409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602345810781336829.post-73225294360472154252023-02-16T06:08:00.003+02:002023-02-16T06:09:37.331+02:00Options<div><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimG8GTf8UqjS3BGkLSOeL2eCP16coa1VAImowSuiXa4BD9HWWj2utjFAHJzLrbNISiL4xp2A04k_XL_fHPTEUYVipq3ZT4-pbLleKHtaeCGD-tzL4ZI1JvnitLnOFq5YiXJ7PfmXg2VbBoCR8PyBegvFKqi_9eJCMskURQLfGuc4ROd9B4CJNhP8A0/s883/PAPADIS%20Y012.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="883" data-original-width="591" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimG8GTf8UqjS3BGkLSOeL2eCP16coa1VAImowSuiXa4BD9HWWj2utjFAHJzLrbNISiL4xp2A04k_XL_fHPTEUYVipq3ZT4-pbLleKHtaeCGD-tzL4ZI1JvnitLnOFq5YiXJ7PfmXg2VbBoCR8PyBegvFKqi_9eJCMskURQLfGuc4ROd9B4CJNhP8A0/s320/PAPADIS%20Y012.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Product details and book summary please visit <a href="https://diaswingers.gr">https://diaswingers.gr</a><br /></div><div><p></p></div>Angmimikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103483426722963409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602345810781336829.post-10702045874557446562023-01-13T12:16:00.004+02:002023-01-13T12:18:24.182+02:00Understanding Non-Monogamies<div><p style="text-align: center;"><u></u></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><u><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9fr2Qxz_N7Q_SUyaG_4a3KM_7GiN3vUtmvcDwc3AFSeJZx4K4EB0Jnn-89bYpYocHf1n26iMdgkytB7DBud37FSgOmGwAtulPpZBqXJEfLMHJlXl3fwPwfaInKA1hgWSu1l2MQym7VlwCSyvYe1VsuiqNDhNnW6yx3vVVz2tmSmgiKLUfz6wy6eZG/s400/9780415652964_l.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="273" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9fr2Qxz_N7Q_SUyaG_4a3KM_7GiN3vUtmvcDwc3AFSeJZx4K4EB0Jnn-89bYpYocHf1n26iMdgkytB7DBud37FSgOmGwAtulPpZBqXJEfLMHJlXl3fwPwfaInKA1hgWSu1l2MQym7VlwCSyvYe1VsuiqNDhNnW6yx3vVVz2tmSmgiKLUfz6wy6eZG/s320/9780415652964_l.jpg" width="218" /></a></u></div><u><br /></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><span style="color: #fcff01;"><span style="background-color: black;">BOOK DESCRIPTION</span></span></u><br /></div><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Most social scientific work on intimate relationships has assumed a
monogamous structure, or has considered anything other than monogamy
only in the context of 'infidelity'.<span></span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Yet, in recent years there has been
a growing interest among researchers and the public in exploring
various patterns of intimacy that involve open non-monogamy. This volume
gathers contributions from academics, activists, and practitioners
throughout the world to explore non-monogamous relationships. Featuring
both empirical and theoretical pieces, contributors examine the history
and cultural basis of various forms of non-monogamy, experiences of
non-monogamous living, psychological understandings of relationship
patterns, language and emotion, the discursive construction of
mono-normativity as well as issues of race, class, disability, sexuality
and gender. This volume will be of interest to academics and
practitioners working in the social sciences and anyone who is seeking
greater insight into the intricacies of non-monogamous relationships. </span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Meg Barker & Darren Langdridge, editors (2/8/2012). <i>Understanding Non-Monogamies.</i> Routledge.

among swingers, none has taken a holistic approach to investigating the
formation of sexual scripts within the swinging community. The purpose
of this ethnographic study was to analyze the communicative techniques
being used to initiate conversation about engaging in sexual
interactions with those outside of a primary romantic relationship.
During a four-day swingers’ convention held in the United States, field
notes were taken and cultural artifacts were reviewed. In addition, 32
formal interviews were conducted with married spouses who participated
in this lifestyle after the convention concluded. An aggregation of the
observed social behaviors and resulting communicative scripts has been
organized into three chronological themes: introductions, noting of
interest, and invitation to engage in sexual relations.</span></span></span></span></div>Angmimikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103483426722963409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602345810781336829.post-51767161811577396522023-01-07T06:38:00.002+02:002023-01-07T06:38:35.609+02:00The Pleasure Gap<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy2QBpoY-wr4da7Cj1MAVzqf3NgOVz81jSlqId9USZoVQRCBr7WOU9hrbC8D-oiSt5dwOe3jstTbwb6y9ksxNqx9kyG81mbG2z7sdzoRj_5iCPaAQodeNC97WZ2vpE9NfeMas3wE3bJkaeBi5uPDXQFO4aXE0_QTTP5WQX4Pis6hFcq4jttH_-tgQ7/s1000/71pwGWZEL7L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="662" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy2QBpoY-wr4da7Cj1MAVzqf3NgOVz81jSlqId9USZoVQRCBr7WOU9hrbC8D-oiSt5dwOe3jstTbwb6y9ksxNqx9kyG81mbG2z7sdzoRj_5iCPaAQodeNC97WZ2vpE9NfeMas3wE3bJkaeBi5uPDXQFO4aXE0_QTTP5WQX4Pis6hFcq4jttH_-tgQ7/s320/71pwGWZEL7L.jpg" width="212" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div aria-expanded="true" class="a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded" style="padding-bottom: 20px; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span class="a-text-italic"><span style="color: #fcff01;"><u>BOOK DESCRIPTION</u></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><div aria-expanded="true" class="a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded" style="padding-bottom: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span class="a-text-italic"><br /><i>It's time to take inequality in the bedroom as seriously as we take it in the boardroom. <span><a name='more'></a></span></i></span><span><br /><br />Tens

Katherine Rowland, a public health researcher and journalist explores
our culture's troubled relationship with women's sexuality and the many
complex factors that have thrust us into an epidemic of low desire,
guilt, and experiencing sex as a form of labor rather than an act of
lust.<br /><br />Drawing on interviews with more than 120 women and dozens
of sexual health professionals, Rowland considers how factors like
education, bias in scientific research, social messaging, long-term
monogamy, and sexual and gendered violence contribute to women's sexual
malaise. She finds no silver bullet to close the pleasure gap, but her
wide-ranging foray into women's sexuality makes it very clear that the
epidemic of sexual dissatisfaction is about more than a few missing
orgasms. It's about the complex interaction between culture, biology,
capitalism, history, and our shifting ideas about what is right and good

families were intact, religion was a salient motive in people's lives,
juvenile delinquency seemed the worst sort of crime and alcohol was the
drug of choice.<span></span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><!--more--><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> All the national statistics seemed to bolster this
impression - a high birth rate, declining divorce and a marriage
proportion that made the single adult the odd person out and potentially
disruptive. Of course, there was the ominous shadow cast by the Cold
War, but if anything, that just intensified the local focus and
inwardness of life.THE KEY PARTY is a comic-serious satire set in this
suffocating world, amid the doubly claustrophobic routine of golf
matches, weekly bridge games and Saturday night cocktail parties. Four
couples, living along a street adjacent to a golf course, have
intertwined relationships based upon their proximity and their similar
interests. From the outside, their marriages seem placid and happy, but
in fact, a better depiction would be monotony and predictability with an
undercurrent of anger and dissatisfaction.One evening, at a cocktail
party celebrating the wedding anniversary of one of the couples, this
simmering discontent boils over, and the group makes a collective
decision - out of boredom and the urges of alcohol - that has
extraordinary and unexpected consequences for all of its members and for
the small town in which they reside.

In this first collection on the history of the body in Canada, an interdisciplinary group of scholars explores the multiple ways the body has served as a site of contestation in Canadian history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.</span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

The contributors reflect on the intersections of bodies with the concept of nationhood, as well as how understandings of the body are historically contingent. The volume is capped off with a critical introductory chapter by the editors on the history of bodies and the development of the body as a category of analysis.</span></span></span></span></p>Angmimikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103483426722963409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602345810781336829.post-86579277814301351912022-12-18T09:36:00.009+02:002022-12-18T09:50:18.008+02:00All the F*cking Mistakes<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacsbyS5SSK0FzzsFKGFO3DaNQVgp-h1nLVUsao-ImkypNnRYLBBLWXEpKiu8hC9JvMae1jVCX9_Y7TrfTgiL_ADqU9AoTTkc9lALpAwxWNPBevSGk9eLGKwafaHa636nfXB9kfrcSnmsF3q5rw3hOwjkttBl0ymfcYFGwdhx105O0CUuoeExvvD0z/s554/30626791246.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="554" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacsbyS5SSK0FzzsFKGFO3DaNQVgp-h1nLVUsao-ImkypNnRYLBBLWXEpKiu8hC9JvMae1jVCX9_Y7TrfTgiL_ADqU9AoTTkc9lALpAwxWNPBevSGk9eLGKwafaHa636nfXB9kfrcSnmsF3q5rw3hOwjkttBl0ymfcYFGwdhx105O0CUuoeExvvD0z/s320/30626791246.jpg" width="231" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #ffa400;"><span><u><b><span style="font-size: medium;">BOOK DESCRIPTION</span></b></u></span></span></span><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Come As You Are</i> meets <i>How to Date Men When You Hate Men</i>

tous les traits du libertinage : l'incrédulité arrogante des grands, la
passion érudite pour les sciences et la spéculation, enfin une très
grande liberté de moeurs. Tous les libertins n'eurent cependant pas
loisir de vivre pleinement cette liberté d'âme et de corps. Ainsi
Théophile de Viau, Ninon de Lenclos ou Sade firent au cours de leur vie

book analyzes eight "battlegrounds" in which <i>America's War on Sex</i> is
being fought and examines how each one is the focus of an unrelenting
struggle to regulate sexuality in direct contradiction to our
Constitutional guarantees, scientific fact, and the needs of average
Americans. Klein places these various attacks on our rights in
historical context, explains how the money and political power are
coordinated from the same sources, and shows how the Religious Right
inflames Americans' anxiety about sexuality even as it proposes
repressive schemes to reduce that anxiety. This book tackles a sensitive
and volatile topic head-on, addressing how the political, social,
historical, religious, and emotional issues surrounding public policy
interfaces with sexuality as no other work has before.</span><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span></span><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">Marty Klein (2012). <i>America's War On Sex: The Continuing Attack on Law, Lust, and Liberty</i>.

Do you feel safer now?<span></span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Council says that government has a right to protect public
morals, and that having sex in front of (consenting) others is by
definition immoral. They don’t need proof that nude dancing leads to
harm, they said; it’s enough that the majority of its citizens allegedly
“knows” it’s wrong. They also claim that sex clubs spread “disease,”
although no legislator, public safety officer, or public health
professional could produce any evidence to support this.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is exactly the problem with the government giving itself the
right to protect our “morals.” It’s simply an exercise in the arbitrary
use of power to tell people how to live. Our Founders not only rebelled
against a king wielding such power, they also worked hard to protect
each of us from our neighbors, acting as a majority, wielding it.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If morality is the capacity to make decisions that respect others,
the Council itself has shown just the opposite in this judgment. Will
the Council next prohibit wrestling on TV? What about interracial
marriage? Saying that government should make us better people sounds
nice. But as long as there is less than 100% agreement on what “better
people” means, any attempt to do so will destroy the rights of those who
disagree. And that undermines the unique social contract that makes
this country special: you will not be bullied by other, more powerful
people just because they don’t like what you do or think.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Council scoffed at the idea that adults over 18 should have the
right to decide what to pay to do or see in private–that is, to run
their own lives. No, said the Council, watching other consenting adults
making love is not like eating too many cupcakes, which only hurts the
consumer; Mary and John watching Sue and Tom have sex on the west side
of town creates danger on the east side of town.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At least the Council understands that sex is pretty powerful stuff.
But the Council is apparently too impressed with the power of eroticism
to allow citizens to enjoy it for simple entertainment. Rather, the
Council sees something beyond the wholesomeness of human eroticism–its
sees something evil and destructive.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Council’s idea that sexuality per se is dangerous is frightening. Government enforcement of that belief is immoral.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Phoenix City Council says it believes that sex club patrons are
getting ideas or feeling emotions that are bad for the community. This
says much more about Councilmembers than it does about sex.
Nevertheless, the Council should recall that the Constitution
specifically protects the expression of ideas and emotions, particularly
in private. And it doesn’t just protect the ideas that a community
likes; it specifically protects the ideas that people in power dislike
or fear.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Council says it doesn’t just want to suppress eroticism, but also
public nuisances and disease. Since the rate of both STDs and violence
among swingers is far lower than the general public’s, what exactly is
the Council attempting to control? Not problems–non-standard erotic
behavior. If this isn’t true, the Council should describe exactly what
it is trying to accomplish.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And once the Council establishes the level of eroticism it feels
local citizens can handle, will that exclude wet T-shirt contests? Next
year, will it exclude string bikinis (which are already banned in one of
America’s best known resorts)? Why not? For once the Council decides
there’s good eroticism and bad eroticism, they surely have the
right–nay, the obligation–to decide what to put in each category.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Eight years ago, Supreme Court Justice Souter wrote that nude dancing
should be banned–not because it is immoral, but because it creates
undesirable behavior. This is a common belief–without any evidence to
support it. Germany, Sweden, and Holland, for example, report very
different experiences with activities that are criminalized in most of
the U.S. But if we want to discourage all activities associated with,
say, gambling, drug use, prostitution, and staying out late, the City
Council should consider going after Arizona Cardinal football games,
Arizona State University fraternity parties, and sales conventions in
downtown Phoenix hotels. The police admit that, unlike sex clubs, all of
them are associated with these behaviors.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The only logical reason for the Council singling out the consenting
adult behavior of sex clubs is its discomfort with sexuality. That’s
what upsets some people–patrons go there, deliberately getting turned on
and turning on others. They value sexual arousal and satisfaction so
much, they’re paying for it, making it a conscious part of their
lives–in many cases, a part of their marriage. While I sympathize with
some people’s discomfort with sexuality, <strong>those feelings must not be the basis for public policy decisions</strong>.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In 1991, the Supreme Court acknowledged that when behavior is banned,
other rights are sometimes sacrificed. And it suggested that protecting
sexually explicit expression “may be of lesser societal importance than
the protection of other forms of expression.”</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In a society half-crazed with fear about child molestation and rape,
isn’t it crucial to nurture comfort with sexuality rather than
repressing it? <strong>That</strong> would be socially valuable.
Besides, who set up this hierarchy that makes our rights of consenting
sexual expression less important than other rights? Obviously, those to
whom eroticism is either unimportant or, worse, frightening. We who
value our sexuality must reject this public policy hierarchy.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">People like columnist Cal Thomas trivialize the issue of eroticism
and sexual self-expression, taking sex seriously only when it leads to
problems. “The Constitution will survive,” he assures us snidely. This
country’s Constitution is designed to protect people when they’re not
actually harming others. The Constitution may be surviving, but it’s
doing so in a crippled condition.</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The right to watch or be watched by another naked couple is
admittedly something that most people do not wish to take advantage of.
But the Council’s decision is about far more than this, which is why it
should concern everyone. This recent political decision is about our
rights as erotic adults–rights as critical and fundamental as any other.
And it’s about our right to be safe from others’ definition of
“morality.”</span></span></span></p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I’m religious about sexuality, too: God protect me from people who
want to save me from myself. God help those who are so repressed,
frightened, or angry that they believe a naked vulva is dangerous. And
God save a country that thinks it needs to control how people get turned
on in order to protect itself from immorality.</span></span></span></p>Angmimikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103483426722963409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602345810781336829.post-28676818013912683662022-12-13T19:09:00.003+02:002022-12-13T19:09:40.282+02:00AMERICAN ECSTACY<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ffa400;"><u><b></b></u></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZaVuHxx5CuN8LA7hVRqWEc3QAHTW5onsV_Ec_WCyc_Lnl36ExT1YDfBn23kU47kFIazY54ZJsLwj-ZvExA00sWtvz03eA0JIKdb21mE_rU_M1IInhXq7mjd55mYoNjaQBrOkXCYTLOCmZq3icQpKBvdGPMBVChca_DEjZMiLa7BKkbUL8BPGPbgQ8/s1000/61WwBwJ1AAL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="819" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZaVuHxx5CuN8LA7hVRqWEc3QAHTW5onsV_Ec_WCyc_Lnl36ExT1YDfBn23kU47kFIazY54ZJsLwj-ZvExA00sWtvz03eA0JIKdb21mE_rU_M1IInhXq7mjd55mYoNjaQBrOkXCYTLOCmZq3icQpKBvdGPMBVChca_DEjZMiLa7BKkbUL8BPGPbgQ8/s320/61WwBwJ1AAL.jpg" width="262" /></a></b></u></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></b></u></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ffa400;"><u><b><span style="background-color: black;">BOOK DESCRIPTION</span><br /></b></u></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">AMERICAN ECSTASY is a memoir in pictures and words of the twelve years
photographer Barbara Nitke spent shooting stills on porn movie sets in
New York City. <span></span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: medium;">The book takes place in the 1980's at the end of the
Golden Age of Porn, as the industry transitioned from high budget,
scripted film productions to smaller and ever cheaper video shoots.
Nitke's images reveal the contradictions inherent in the business -
great beauty, tinged with sadness, punctuated by surreal silliness. As
she chronicles the sights and sounds of life on the sets, her stories
also reveal her own struggle to come to terms with the end of her
marriage and her fascination with the sexual outlaws of the porn world.
Among the porn stars featured are Ron Jeremy, Vanessa del Rio, Nina
Hartley, Sharon Mitchell, Sharon Kane, Siobhan Hunter, Jeanna Fine,
Damian Cashmere, Tasha Voux, and many more. Directors include Henri
Pachard, Candida Royalle, Lasse Braun and others.</span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />Barbara Nitke (2012). <i>American Ecstasy</i>.

a one-volume history that chapter after chapter overturns popular
shibboleths, while dramatically narrating the epic story of how sex came
to be legislated in America.</span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Beginning his volume in
the ancient and medieval worlds, Geoffrey R. Stone demonstrates how the
Founding Fathers, deeply influenced by their philosophical forebears,
saw traditional Christianity as an impediment to the pursuit of
happiness and to the quest for human progress. Acutely aware of the need
to separate politics from the divisive forces of religion, the Founding
Fathers crafted a constitution that expressed the fundamental values of
the Enlightenment.</span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Although the Second Great
Awakening later came to define America through the lens of evangelical
Christianity, nineteenth-century Americans continued to view sex as a
matter of private concern, so much so that sexual expression and
information about contraception circulated freely, abortions before
“quickening” remained legal, and prosecutions for sodomy were almost
nonexistent.</span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries reversed such tolerance, however, as charismatic spiritual
leaders and barnstorming politicians rejected the values of our nation’s
founders. Spurred on by Anthony Comstock, America’s most feared
enforcer of morality, new laws were enacted banning pornography,
contraception, and abortion, with Comstock proposing that the word
“unclean” be branded on the foreheads of homosexuals. Women increasingly
lost control of their bodies, and birth control advocates, like
Margaret Sanger, were imprisoned for advocating their beliefs. In this
new world, abortions were for the first time relegated to dank and
dangerous back rooms.</span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The twentieth century gradually
saw the emergence of bitter divisions over issues of sexual “morality”
and sexual freedom. Fiercely determined organizations and individuals on
both the right and the left wrestled in the domains of politics,
religion, public opinion, and the courts to win over the soul of the
nation. With its stirring portrayals of Supreme Court justices, </span><span class="a-text-italic">Sex and the Constitution</span><span> reads like a dramatic gazette of the critical cases they decided, ranging from </span><span class="a-text-italic">Griswold v. Connecticut</span><span> (contraception), to </span><span class="a-text-italic">Roe v. Wade</span><span> (abortion), to </span><span class="a-text-italic">Obergefell v. Hodges</span><span> (gay marriage), with Stone providing vivid historical context to the decisions that have come to define who we are as a nation.</span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Now,
though, after the 2016 presidential election, we seem to have taken a
huge step backward, with the progress of the last half century suddenly
imperiled. No one can predict the extent to which constitutional
decisions safeguarding our personal freedoms might soon be eroded, but </span><span class="a-text-italic">Sex and the Constitution</span></span><span><span style="font-size: medium;"> is more vital now than ever before.</span><br /></span></span></span></p><p><span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /><span></span></span></span></span></p><!--more-->Geoffrey R.

of the most revolutionary challenge ever to confront marriage ethics.</span></span></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span face=""Franklin Gothic Medium Cond","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: medium; line-height: 115%;">

<span><a name='more'></a></span>Married couples, divorcees, and other “singles,” including teenagers, not only
reveal graphically what they <i>do</i> at “swinger”
gatherings, but how they <i>feel</i> about
Groupsex; how they separate sex from love; how it affects their marriages,
their emotions, and the non-sexual (“straight”) phases of their lives.<br />
<br />
The reader gets a ringside seat at the unfolding of a new subculture:
housewives tell what it's like to engage in sexual activities with literally
dozens of men in one weekend; adolescent children tell how they feel about
their parents' swinging habits; veteran swingers list the do's and don'ts of
Groupsex etiquette, their favorite swinging techniques, and their methods of
prolonging sexual pleasure.<br />
<br />
Citing the research of every scientific authority who has studied Groupsex, the
authors conclude that the phenomenon is growing and certain to affect sexual
mores generally. They estimate that 2½ million Americans swing. The 628
swingers whom they interviewed lived all across the country, and 93 percent
were upper-middle-class whites, the very group that sets national trends.<br />
<br />
Among the 98 swingers whom the authors selected for depth interviews that
averaged 3½ hours are: a young Los Angeles attorney (an Ivy League Law
School) and his wife; a Midwestern psychiatrist who teaches at a medical school
and has been swinging with his wife for ten years; and a surgeon who is a
widower and seeks a new wife among his female swinging companions.<br />
<br />
In his foreword, Martin E. Grotjahn, M.D., clinical professor of psychoanalysis
at the University of Southern California and author of numerous scientific
books and articles, says: “This is an important book and a significant,
original contribution to man's knowledge of sex... Some of the taped interviews
will, I think, become classics.”</span></span></span></div>

diversity and social conformity, and a battle between the two rages in
the media, in social institutions, and in our daily lives. As a sex
therapist, Michael Aaron witnesses this struggle each and every day as
it plays out on his therapy couch. Modern Sexuality: The Truth about Sex
and Relationships examines how biology and society collide head-on in
the realm of human sexuality. Here, Aaron carefully and convincingly
debunks some of the most commonly held beliefs about sexuality – that it
is learned and can be changed; that “abnormal” sexual behavior is
pathological; that healthy sexuality involves intimacy; that intimacy is
the same to everyone; and that sexuality must have a clearly defined
purpose. </span><br /><span></span><br /><span><span style="font-size: medium;">Using groundbreaking brain-imaging studies and cutting-
edge psychological insights, Modern Sexuality presents the overwhelming
case for sexual diversity including orientation, non-traditional
relationships, and even specific fantasies and kinks. In a world where
sexual “outsiders” battle for acceptance, this work helps to explore the
variety of sexual expressions from a normative standpoint, helping
readers to understand that their own desires and those of others can

the 1970s a group of pioneering feminist entrepreneurs launched a
movement that ultimately changed the way sex was talked about, had, and
enjoyed. Boldly reimagining who sex shops were for and the kinds of
spaces they could be, these entrepreneurs opened sex-toy stores like
Eve’s Garden, Good Vibrations, and Babeland not just as commercial
enterprises, but to provide educational and community resources as well.

Comella tells the fascinating history of how these stores raised sexual
consciousness, redefined the adult industry, and changed women's lives.
Comella describes a world where sex-positive retailers double as social
activists, where products are framed as tools of liberation, and where
consumers are willing to pay for the promise of better living—one
conversation, vibrator, and orgasm at a time.<br /></span></span></span></div><div aria-expanded="false" class="a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content"><span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span><a name='more'></a></span>Lynn Comella (2017). <i>Vibrator Nation: How Feminist Sex-Toy Store Change the Business of Pleasure. </i>Durham and London: Duke University Press.

few days after I woke up blind from a brain tumor pressing on my left
eye, made only more intense because I was a soldier deployed to
Afghanistan, my commander said to me, "Write it all down. Find the
thread in the story of your life."<br /> Until then, I hadn't
thought of myself as a writer, only a voracious reader. After a life of
being trafficked and abused throughout Asia and Latin America as a
child born into the third generation of the religious sex cult, the
Children of God, everything I knew about the outside world was through
select Disney movies and surreptitious reading. I longed for the life of
the typical American teenager, but when I got excommunicated and
enrolled myself in a Houston high school, I felt like I was from another
planet. Books saved my life then, and I read my way into college, into
an honors degree in literature, into learning how to approach the world
with a mind open to diverse viewpoints, rather than the extremist
perspectives under which I'd been raised.<br /> <span><a name='more'></a></span> As a kid
who'd been denied books, I wanted to read—everything. As a kid who'd
been beaten for asking questions, I wanted to analyze arguments,
understand the phrases chosen, and question—everything. And when I
commissioned into the Army, in a time of war, it was to do just that. To
study the world and groups of people in it, analyze the intelligence,
and attempt to help predict what the bad guys would do next.<br />
But a woman in the Army is never the good guy no matter how hard we
play the game, and I carried my experience as a cult survivor along with
the heavy duffel bag I hoisted toward the sky for hours while the drill
sergeants yelled. I noticed the similarities to my earlier life from
the first moment I boarded the Army bus that would take me to my new
life.<br /><span class="a-text-italic"> I just joined another cult</span></span></span><span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">.<br />
What I came to understand, through writing, is that the military and
the cult had a lot more in common than I ever wanted to admit—more than
any of us strong, proud Americans would like to admit. And in both of
those worlds, trying to fit myself into the mold of what was expected of
women nearly killed me. <br /> But I survived. <br />
UNCULTURED is a memoir; the almost-unbelievable story of my life in
closed-off groups operating in secrecy throughout the world. But I hope
UNCULTURED is more than that, and gives you a new perspective from which
to examine the groups you love and see how you might be contorting and
defining yourself by the group's rules, ones that aren't your own.<br /> Groups can be a prison, but they can also be a place for our liberation. The difference is freedom. <br /> UNCULTURED tells the story of my life in groups, and of my attempt to find that thread...toward freedom.<br />Sincerely, Daniella Mestyanek Young<br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span><!--more--></span>Daniella Mestyanek Young (2022) <i>Uncultured: A Memoir</i>.

replica women and girls produced for men’s sexual use, sex dolls and
robots represent the literal objectification of women. They are marketed
as companions, the means for men to create their ‘ideal’ woman, and as
the “perfect girlfriend” that can be stored away after its use.
Advocates claim the development of sex dolls and robots should be
actively encouraged and will have many benefits—but for who? <i><span class="a-text-italic">Sex Dolls, Robots and Woman Hating</span></i></span></span><span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><i>
</i> exposes the inherent misogyny in the trade in sex dolls and robots
modelled on the bodies of women and girls for men’s unlimited sexual
use. From doll owners enacting violence and torture on their dolls, men
choosing their dolls over their wives, dolls made in the likeness of
specific women and the production of child sex abuse dolls, sex dolls
and robots pose a serious threat to the status of women and girls.<span></span></span></span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Caitlin Roper (2022). <i>Sex Dolls, Robots and Women Hating: The Case for Resistance</i>.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The Age of Sexual Repression has given way to the Age of Sexual Enlightenment.
Television, radio, movies, newspapers and magazines now find sex an acceptable
and provocative topic of discussion. Issues such as contraception, abortion,
premarital sex, homosexuality, normality, and adultery are openly discussed,
not just by sexologists, counselors, and physicians, but by parents and their children,
teachers, clergymen, and politicians as well. This new emphasis on sex has been
termed the Sex Revolution.<br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Frontiers of Sex Research</i> reports
on the progress of the Sex Revolution and discusses the most recent discoveries
in the field of human sexuality. The articles are written by leading
sexologists, sociologists, and psychologists, and other researchers in the sex
field. Each author is a specialist in an important area of research. For
example, John Money, a psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins University and Hospital,
has an article on eroticism and sexual hang-ups. There is a section on sex
therapy written by Hartmann and Fithian, one of the pioneering sex therapy
teams. The section on the physiology of sex and its implications is written by
a physician specializing in sexual problems and his wife who is a psychiatric
social worker. A surgeon who has done transsexual surgery describes what is
happening in that field. Elizabeth Canfield discusses sexual normality, Lester
Kirkendall discusses the aims and objectives in sexual research, and Vern
Bullough focuses on psychiatry and the history of prostitution. Additionally,
there are lively, personal accounts of transvestism and transsexuality. The
essays are engaging as well as informative.<br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Frontiers of Sex Research</i> derives
its value from the diversity of its authors’ views and should prove stimulating
for anyone interested in exploring the realms of human sexuality</span></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">.</span></span></span></div>Angmimikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103483426722963409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602345810781336829.post-49508436680390944412022-12-09T04:35:00.000+02:002022-12-09T04:35:03.948+02:00PASSION LOST<p> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><span face=""Franklin Gothic Medium Cond","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"><br /><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeOelWThePpPH3CxVdMvRi2zeL-ATfg5vDkbierrQnbJAKqMCM0fSHiA-klJYGd9bwl1bDqjYo9xJHbGmaPAO1HgzmOT8D3TjQRPkq02AyxIrCeFQMmEUIH-J2CBfYtDsKgNCF0avJVT5rgMVXUqEbPBTEFQCV2Nf0F4Gxbw0E9UPYY5jMO4sZscWP/s266/51GgwrnqsdL._SY264_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_ML2_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="266" data-original-width="180" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeOelWThePpPH3CxVdMvRi2zeL-ATfg5vDkbierrQnbJAKqMCM0fSHiA-klJYGd9bwl1bDqjYo9xJHbGmaPAO1HgzmOT8D3TjQRPkq02AyxIrCeFQMmEUIH-J2CBfYtDsKgNCF0avJVT5rgMVXUqEbPBTEFQCV2Nf0F4Gxbw0E9UPYY5jMO4sZscWP/w217-h320/51GgwrnqsdL._SY264_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_ML2_.jpg" width="217" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span face=""Franklin Gothic Medium Cond","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">ISBN-13: 978-0-919028-41-8<br />

sex has been historically a private matter, in the twentieth century it
became a public obsession. Beginning in the early 1900s, people widely
felt that increased openness about sex was the key to personal
fulfillment and happy relations. Yet this emphasis on the physical has
eroded our understanding of the emotional and spiritual dimensions of
intimacy. Today, sex has saturated contemporary life through television,
movies, books, magazines, videos, tabloids, advertising and the
Internet. Meanwhile, desensitization and sexual dysfunction, obsession
with body image, short-lived commitments, and high divorce rates are
signs that our deepest private desires remain unfulfilled.</span></span></span></span></span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span face=""Franklin Gothic Medium Cond","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">We
yearn for true connection with the romantic other, and our growing
malaise has given rise to nostalgic myths of golden times that never
really existed.

from the burgeoning sexual concerns of the twentieth century's early
years, the changing morality of the 1920s and 1930s, the liberties of
wartime, and the 1950s'veneer of rectitude, to the freedoms of the
following decades</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span face=""Franklin Gothic Medium Cond","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span><span><span><span><span face=""Franklin Gothic Medium Cond","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">–
examines those myths and paints a compelling new portrait that
illustrates how deeply the present is rooted in the past, and how our
quest for intimacy has been hijacked by our public obsession with sex. By
guiding us through the landscape of emotional and sexual development in
the twentieth century, Patricia Anderson gives fresh meaning to the
role of passion in our culture and new hope for the future of
relationships.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span face=""Franklin Gothic Medium Cond","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></div>Angmimikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12103483426722963409noreply@blogger.com0
