BOOK DESCRIPTION
Human sexuality today stands at the crossroads between biological
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.
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
happily exist on the same continuum.
