Sex and sexuality: advice, topics and issues Books

Book Synopsis“If you want to be a better lover and have an amazing relationship (now or in the future), Cupid''s Poisoned Arrow is a must-read.” —real reader review Eyes met, sparks flew—all fireworks and passion. In the beginning, it felt like magic…but somewhere along the way, the flame burnt out. That cute quirk you used to love doesn’t seem so cute anymore. The connection and fire that brought you together are lost—and you may feel hurt, unsure, or disconnected. You might be trying in vain to change your partner. You may even resign yourself to a passionless fate.Ancient sages recognized the lull in intimacy, passion, and connection that happens in even the most solid relationships—and hinted at the ways we can overcome it. With an entertaining blend of personal experiences, neuroscientific research, and amorous insights from around the world, Cupid’s Poisoned Arrow shows that we can use lovemaking to balance one another—and let harmony arise naturally.Here, you’ll discover the twenty-one Exchanges, a series of intimacy-building activities that can help you and your partner connect on a deeper level. These exchanges speak directly to the part of your brain that can fall in love—and stay in love—and are based on touch, eye contact, and attentiveness.By focusing on generous pampering rather than self-stimulation, you can create a nourishing cocoon of comfort and safety…and deepen your connection through bonding-based intimacy. Incorporating the principles of yin and yang, the Exchanges offer a balanced approach that emphasizes giving and receiving to spark a fulfilling sexual connection between you and your partner.Discover why real readers are saying “It works!” and “I wish I had read this book 10 years ago.” You’ll never look back.

Book SynopsisTHE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Men are responsible for all unwanted pregnancies. Why? Ovulation is involuntary. Ejaculation is not. It is also true that...- Men are 50 times more fertile than women- Birth control is hard to access, use, and comes with numerous side effects- Vasectomies are less risky than tubal litigationsYet, it''s women who are expected to do the work of pregnancy prevention.

Book SynopsisDream Psychology is a seminal work by Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, that explores the nature and significance of dreams. In Dream Psychology, Freud examines a range of dream-related topics, including the function of dreams, the interpretation of dreams, and the relationship between dreams and mental illness. The author also explores the role of childhood experiences, sexual desires, and repressed emotions in shaping dreams. The book is written in Freud's characteristic style, which can be challenging for some readers. However, it is an important work in the history of psychology, and its influence can be seen in many modern theories of dream analysis and psychotherapy. Overall, Dream Psychology is an insightful book that provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the human mind. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of psychology, the interpretation of dreams, or the role of the unconscious in human behavior.

Maybe we don’t know where to start, or we think we should know it all by now. Perhaps some aspects of sex feel tricky, or there is simply not enough time to get around to talking about it. This pack of cards is designed to spark the best kind of pillow talk: the sort where we explore sex with intimacy, playfulness and intellectual curiosity. Here are sixty questions to provoke some of the best conversations possible, guaranteed to leave us with a new sense of liberation and closeness

Book SynopsisBronze Winner for the 2017 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the category of Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Trans Non-FictionForegrounding the voices of transgender and non-binary people, this honest and insightful book is a compilation of the voices of those who have decided to undergo transition - both male-to-female and female-to-male. Drawing on over one hundred interviews with individuals, the book details the diverse experiences and challenges faced by those who transition, exploring a range of topics such as hormone treatments; reassignment surgeries; coming out; sex and sexuality; physical, emotional and mental health; transphobia; discrimination; and hate crime, as well as highlighting the lives of non-binary individuals and those who cross-dress to form a wider understanding of the varied ways in which people experience gender.This powerful book is an ideal introduction to those keen to understand more about contemporary trans issues as well as those questioning their own gender identity.Trade ReviewThis book gives an important, valuable platform to many diverse trans voices. We must listen and learn from their experiences and concerns; and act in solidarity with their human rights struggle. -- Peter Tatchell, Director, Peter Tatchell FoundationWe congratulate Declan Henry on developing this perceptive account of trans experiences, richly illustrated with a wide array of authentic personal narratives. It is a timely reminder of the diversity of trans individuals and the many barriers to equal treatment they still face. We commend the book to everyone who is in a position to improve their lives. -- Bernard Reed OBE, Trustee, Gender and Identity Research and Education Society (GIRES)Declan Henry starts the book with a refreshingly honest confession that at one point he knew very little about the T in LGBT. With complete earnestness he sets out to give an overview of the transgender community in simple and very readable sections. He has packed this small book full of information, snippets of enlightening interviews and his thoughts about transgender equality and equality in its widest sense. A must read for anyone wishing to be an ally who realises that only with knowledge and understanding can you change hearts and minds. -- Juno Roche, Writer, campaigner and Patron of cliniQDeclan Henry's 'Trans Voices' captures the diversity of the breadth of the transgender experience through personal stories that make the topic accessible and understandable for any reader and give the book heart that many other books on the subject lack. -- Charlie Craggs, Founder of Nail TransphobiaWhat comes across well, and is refreshing to read, is the range and variety of experiences: that there isn't one way to be trans or to experience gender variance. Any counsellor working (or likely to work) with trans and gender-variant clients would do well to read it. It may also be useful for clients who are family and friends, and are looking for information and understanding. -- Alex Sanderson-Shortt MA, MBACP, relationship and LGBTQ+ specialist counsellor in private practice * Therapy Today *Whether you're just coming out, have been out for years or whether you just know someone who's trans, this book is a great read. It highlights the breadth of differences within the trans community and relays the authentic experiences of those interviewed.
