Scientific American Perv
Book SynopsisAs a sex writer, Jesse Bering is fearlessand peerless. Dan SavageYou are a sexual deviant. A pervert, through and through. We may not want to admit it, but as the award-winning columnist and psychologist Jesse Bering reveals in Perv, there is a spectrum of perversion along which we all sit. Whether it''s voyeurism, exhibitionism, or your run-of-the-mill foot fetish, we all possess a suite of sexual tastes as unique as our fingerprintsand as secret as the rest of the skeletons we''ve hidden in our closets.Combining cutting-edge studies and critiques of landmark research and conclusions drawn by Sigmund Freud, Alfred Kinsey, and the DSM-5, Bering pulls the curtain back on paraphilias, arguing that sexual deviance is commonplace. He explores the countless fetishists of the world, including people who wear a respectable suit during the day and handcuff a willing sexual partner at night. But he also takes us into the lives of erotic outlier

Penguin Putnam Inc Writers Between the Covers The Scandalous
Book SynopsisWhat happened off the page was often a lot spicier than what was written on it... Why did Norman Mailer stab his second wife at a party? Who was Edith Wharton’s secret transatlantic lover? What motivated Anaïs Nin to become a bigamist? Writers Between the Covers rips the sheets off these and other real-life love stories of the literati—some with fairy tale endings and others that resulted in break-ups, breakdowns, and brawls. Among the writers laid bare are Agatha Christie, who sparked the largest-ever manhunt in England as her marriage fell apart; Arthur Miller, whose jaw-dropping pairing with Marilyn Monroe proved that opposites attract, at least initially; and T.S. Eliot, who slept in a deckchair on his disastrous honeymoon. From the best break-up letters to the stormiest love triangles to the boldest cougars and cradle-robbers, this fun and accessible volume—packed with lists, quizzes and in-dept

Johns Hopkins University Press Sexual Disorders Perspectives on Diagnosis and
Book SynopsisSexual disorders may arise from multiple causes. Their clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment must take into account the patient''s underlying biology, history, and behaviors. Using an approach pioneered at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Peter Fagan applies the four perspectives of psychiatry (disease, dimension, behavior, and life story) to the diagnosis and treatment of sexual disorders. This book offers therapists an efficient and clinically proven way to organize the range of theoretical methodologies currently available, presenting a framework that is both conceptually cohesive and readily applicable in clinical settings. After an introduction, each chapter offers a case study followed by an analysis based on one perspective methodology as well as a discussion of the clinical implications of that perspective. The book closes with a chapter integrating the approaches. This book will be of interest to mental health care professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers, who treat patients with sexual disorders.Trade ReviewThis book encourages debate and argument. I predict Sexual Disorders will become a classic. -- Paul Fedoroff, MD Canadian Journal of Psychiatry 2005 Fagan's application of the four perspectives to sexual disorders serves as an important resource for clinicians of all therapeutic disciplines, which provide insight into a challenging niche of therapeutic work that is often overlooked. -- Elizabeth Bruce Family Journal: Counseling and Therapy for Couples and Families 2006Table of ContentsForeword, by Paul R.

Beacon Press Ace What Asexuality Reveals About Desire Society
Book SynopsisAn engaging exploration of what it means to be asexual in a world that’s obsessed with sexual attraction, and what the ace perspective can teach all of us about desire and identity.What exactly is sexual attraction and what is it like to go through life not experiencing it? What does asexuality reveal about gender roles, about romance and consent, and the pressures of society? This accessible examination of asexuality shows that the issues that aces face—confusion around sexual activity, the intersection of sexuality and identity, navigating different needs in relationships—are the same conflicts that nearly all of us will experience. Through a blend of reporting, cultural criticism, and memoir, Ace addresses the misconceptions around the “A” of LGBTQIA and invites everyone to rethink pleasure and intimacy.Journalist Angela Chen creates her path to understanding her own asexuality with the perspectives of a diverse group of as

Book SynopsisStep into the perfumed parlors of the Everleigh Club, the most famous brothel in American history-and the catalyst for a culture war that rocked the nation. Operating in Chicago’s notorious Levee district at the dawn of the last century, the Club’s proprietors, two aristocratic sisters named Minna and Ada Everleigh, welcomed moguls and actors, senators and athletes, foreign dignitaries and literary icons, into their stately double mansion, where thirty stunning Everleigh “butterflies” awaited their arrival. Courtesans named Doll, Suzy Poon Tang, and Brick Top devoured raw meat to the delight of Prince Henry of Prussia and recited poetry for Theodore Dreiser. Whereas lesser madams pocketed most of a harlot’s earnings and kept a “whipper” on staff to mete out discipline, the Everleighs made sure their girls dined on gourmet food, were examined by an honest physician, and even tutored in the literature of Balzac.Not everyone appreciated th

Book SynopsisHeartsick unpacks the destruction of love by following the true stories of three lives altered by a major heartbreak.I wrote this book for the person who doesn't want to be told that this too shall pass. Not yet. Who wants to sit with it. And see it for what it is. Who wants to know they're not alone. That their pain is at once unique and universal. Belonging to them and everyone.When we're thrown into the chaos of heartsickness, we focus so much on the end. The fact we are now unloved seems so much more important than the reality that we once were.This book was born in the hours I've waited for men to message me back and who never did...In the years full of almost-relationships, I thought, I cannot handle another rejection, and then found myself turned down by someone I wasn't even sure I liked.

Book SynopsisA nationally known sex therapist offers an in-depth look at low sex drive among women—with information and exercises for reviving female desire and sexual pleasure According to an often-quoted study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 43% of American women suffer from “low libido.” In The Return of Desire, respected sex therapist and researcher Gina Ogden offers a new understanding of this surprising and troubling statistic, moving beyond hormones, drugs, and other medical perspectives to address the mental, emotional, and relational dynamics that can dampen desire.

Trine Day Angels Over Moscow: Life, Death and Human
Book SynopsisAngels Over Moscow is an inspirational, first-person account of the life of American physician, Dr. Juliette Engel, who founded the non-profit MiraMed Institute to devote her energy and resources to helping reform maternal and infant healthcare in Russia. During a mission to improve medical care for children in orphanages, she discovered a link between the State institutions and an international network that trafficked young Russian girls to Scandinavia for prostitution. She followed their trail north into Norway, where she ran headlong into the international slave trade of the 20th Century—human trafficking. From that point forward, there was no turning back for the determined doctor, as she traveled throughout the former USSR, often at great personal peril, building a network of villagers, educators, police, media, and government officials called the Angel Coalition who committed their talents and resources to fighting human trafficking, and bringing thousands of Russian trafficking victims safely home. As a result of her work, she became eyewitness to the collapse of an empire as the USSR broke apart, and the Russian people struggled to find their identity without losing their humanity. Her strength and personal commitment saved thousands of lives and has helped heal the wounds of a broken nation. In Angels Over Moscow, Dr. Engel describes her journey as the “gift of an unexpected life.” More than that, it is a tribute to American ideals, and to idealists like Dr. Engel, who put her life and freedom on the line to fight the good fight for all of us. Every human being encounters crossroads on the path of life that require fate-altering decisions with unknowable outcomes. Selling my medical practice to live and work in Russia wasn’t among my life plans when I first set out to explore what lay beyond the boundaries of my familiar world. How could I anticipate that I’d be drawn down the harder, darker, unexplored road into the tumultuous disorder of Russia? I look back and wonder if I might have been more cautious had I known the magnitude of the winds that were gathering outside my door, waiting for me to step beyond the limits of safety. I did not know. Instead, I engaged the opportunity for exploring new cultures without hesitation. It was 1990 when I first flew to Moscow. The Berlin Wall had just been torn down as the Evil Empire capitulated to the forces of greater good. The ideals of democracy and freedom could now be realized for all people. Like many Americans, I saw only optimism for the future, and it was in that heady atmosphere of the Age of Aquarius that I set out to explore the world behind the Iron Curtain. Do I regret it? No. My path became a difficult, frustrating and often tragic one but I was gifted with a rarified view into other dimensions and joined by a cast of characters that enriched my life even if they didn’t have a kopek between them. The takeaway for readers of Angels Over Moscow? You cannot anticipate the unexpected. Instead, open your arms. Embrace all that life has to offer. Drink it in. Celebrate every moment. Do not be afraid of tears.Trade Review" Angels over Moscow is a riveting account of one woman's compassion that drove her past her fears to rescue stolen and forsaken lives. Filled with twists and turns, the pages read like a spy novel set in post-cold war Russia, except her experiences are real! One thing is certain, she reveals that Love and compassion overcomes fear and hardship. May these pages capture the hearts of many more like her to set out on rescue missions for the trafficked souls waiting for someone to give them hope and a hand." Randy DeMain, Christian minister and author of Nephilim Resurgence, the Rise of the 4th Kingdom and Endtime, Spiritual Warriors"Like her previous memoir Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick , Angels over Moscow is an extraordinary work, written in a fast-paced prose that is once again more thriller than memoir. This is a tragic and triumphant read with tension ranging from awkward suspense and humor to outright terror on every page." Richard W. Marek, Editor, Richard Marek Books, at Putnam Publishing Group, author of Works of Genius and editor of The Bourne Identity"In her inspiring memoir, Dr. Engel describes the formation of a nationwide rescue operation based in Moscow called The Angel Coalition. Russian Angels struggle to save trafficking victims from a tragic fate. It is an exciting story, told with humor, and set against a vibrant backdrop of ordinary Russian life, replete with details of food, weather, landscape, and politics. The author writes from a deep understanding of Russia as well as from a love for this vast country and its people." Solveig Eggerz, author of Seal Woman, Sigga of Reykjavik and Mandatory Dancing"More than a memoir, Angels Over Moscow is a riveting view of human trafficking involving world leaders from the Russian mafia to US Government actors who talk a good game on claiming to want to stop human trafficking but when shown alternatives that work, they deliberately block grassroots actions that might end the highly lucrative industry. Most fascinating is how the U.S. State Department quashed information from the Angel Coalition proving that the United States was the leading destination for trafficking victims from the former USSR." Carey Gave, Court Advocate for Victims of Sexual Abuse, State of Illinois"Juliette's personal story of triumph over evil in action in the forbidden Former Soviet Union is chilling and transformative. There are human rights activists who swarm with rhetoric over this modern slavery but Juliette was a pioneer in solving the scope of the problems by engaging the victims and perpetrators face to face. She set up systems for rescue, restoration and reform that have been a resource for others on the globe who must confront crimes of humanity that damage the very soul of the culture. I know because I watched her challenge authorities there in Russia which rippled back to the conscience of the American public stance on modern slavery to establish an office at the US State Department which in turn began to honestly address our own problems at home. This is a story of overcoming evil, exposing it, and commanding results from the very top players on the globe. It is inspiring and terrifying and a really good read. Take a lesson in grit mixed with intelligence and watch her own soul grow by the actions she undertook." Claudia Barlow, chairman of MiraMed, strategist and consultant to governments and non-profit global groups that threaten freedom Reviews for previous work Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick (rated all 5-star reviews on Amazon)"From Seattle in 1953 to the Mexican border in 1959 to Moscow in 1990, Juliette Engel has lived a life straight out of a Jason Bourne novel. As she retells her adventures, I am right at her side, breathing hard." Frank S. Joseph, former editor for Washington Post, Author of To Love Mercy

Pitchstone Publishing Behind the Mormon Curtain: Selling Sex in
Book Synopsis“I MAKE A LOT OF MONEY AS A CALL GIRL” wasn’t the answer author Steve Cuno expected when he asked a new acquaintance how she planned to capitalize her start-up business. Wait, hold on, he thought. In Salt Lake City? Home to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormon Church, where all it takes to become the object of steamy gossip is for a neighbor to see you take a sip of coffee? In a religion where nonmarital sex is second in seriousness to murder? “You’ve no idea the people I could get in trouble,” she told him. She’d entertained politicians, police officers, judges, defense lawyers, prosecutors, doctors—all of them married, almost all of them practicing Mormons. Many were highly visible, highly regarded leaders in the faith. So began Cuno’s behind-the-scenes investigation into Salt Lake City’s prostitution industry. Over the course of three years, he interviewed prostitutes, johns, police officers, social workers, and massage-parlor owners—and uncovered a surprising underside to the Mormon Church’s carefully cultivated image of wholesomeness and family values. He found that Salt Lake’s prostitutes—“sex workers” or “providers,” as they prefer to be known—don’t live in the illusory experience they create for their clients. Many are multilingual and hold college degrees. They fix meals, drive kids to school, help with homework, handle household chores, socialize with others in the community, have love lives of their own—and, yes, go to church, sometimes with the very people who sneak out to meet them. With wit and sensitivity, Behind the Mormon Curtain takes a deep dive into the quintessential American religion and the world’s oldest profession, as Cuno tells the story of what he discovered, how he discovered it, and what it reveals not just about Mormons, but about us all.Trade Review"With a style calling to mind the whimsy of Dave Barry and the bonhomie of Bill Bryson, author Steve Cuno takes us on a rollicking tour of sex-for-pay in Salt Lake City -- Mormon Mecca -- as seen through the eyes of its sex workers. Even Mormons, it seems, can find themselves at odds with their own principles. Who knew?" -- Tyler Measom, award-winning producer-director of Murder Among the Mormons, Biography: I Want My MTV, An Honest Liar and Sons of Perdition"Steve Cuno peers behind the curtain, and under the covers, to provide a fascinating glimpse of the sex industry in the land of the Latter-day Saints. His interviews and in-depth research reveal the struggles of these workers, the abuses they endure, and the corruption and hypocrisy of the community they serve. This story is at once insightful, humorous, and disturbing." -- Karen Stollznow, PhD, linguist, academic researcher, and author of On the Offensive, God Bless America and Haunting America"The book is fantastic. Grim as hell in places but that's a feature not a bug." -- Ophelia Benson, columnist for The Philosophers' Magazine"In Behind the Mormon Curtain you'll learn how -- and why -- the randy latter-day sinners in and around Salt Lake City are as human as any of us. Maybe more so. Cuno's no prophet, but with this explosive book his credentials as a seer and revelator are secure." -- Tom Flynn, editor of Free Inquiry and author of The Messiah Trilogy"Steve Cuno has written a book which can upend the general public's view of sex workers. He has delved into the motivations and current status of women and men who have chosen this career. As well as being a good read, the book is well written with some psychological underpinnings. As a trained clinical social worker, I enjoyed the interviews and the writer's sense of mischief." -- Sheryl Ginsberg, licensed clinical social worker

Rutgers University Press Intimate Inequalities: Millennials' Romantic
Book SynopsisWhen it comes to the topic of romantic and sexual intimacy, social observers are often quick to throw criticisms at millennials. However, we know little about millennials’ own hopes, fears, struggles, and triumphs in their relationships from the perspectives of millennials themselves. Intimate Inequalities uses millennials’ own stories to explore how they navigate gender, race, social class, sexuality, and age identities and expectations in their relationships. Situating millennials’ lives within contemporary social and cultural conditions in the United States, Intimate Inequalities takes an intersectional approach to examining how millennials challenge—or rather, uphold—social inequalities in their lives as they come into their own as full adults. Intimate Inequalities provides an in-depth look into the intimate lives of one group of millennials living in the United States, demystifying what actually goes on behind closed doors, and arguing that millennials’ private lives can reveal much about their ability to navigate inequalities in their lives more broadly.
