If you’re like me and searching for a push in the right direction… you’ve found it.” — Shawn Mendes "In a world drowning in harmful ideas about masculinity, Man Enough is the life raft we desperately need. Wise, vulnerable, trustworthy, and hilarious, this book will liberate lives, redeem relationships, and help carry us all to higher ground." — Glennon Doyle, New York Times bestselling author of Untamed, Founder of Together Rising “Man Enough takes us on an intensely personal yet universal journey as Justin Baldoni explores how the messages of masculinity have shaped him individually and us collectively. His brave reflections invite us into our own stories with more empathy, compassion, and freedom for ourselves and for the men in our lives. This book shines a needed light on our inherent self-worth and what it truly means to be man enough.” — Jay Shetty, New York Times bestselling author of Think Like A Monk “This is the most important addition to the conversation around masculinity in a decade because it is solution based and allows everyone access to this conversation in a safe way. Justin is masterful in encouraging and guiding men in consciously examining their own masculinity and how it's affecting their lives and the world around them by being transparent and vulnerable about his own growth.” — Karamo Brown, TV Host & star of Netflix’s Queer Eye "Rather than “redefining” masculinity, which merely sets new limits and expectations, Baldoni’s approach of “undefining” creates more space for men (and everyone else) to fully be themselves." — Donald Collins, Healthline

Vintage Publishing Why Women Have Sex
Book SynopsisWhy do women have sex? Is it purely for pleasure or the desire to reproduce? In their ground-breaking book, clinical psychologist Cindy Meston and evolutionary psychologist David Buss investigate the underlying sexual desires of women and identify 237 distinct motivations for sex. Drawing on more than a thousand intensive interviews conducted solely for the book, as well as their pioneering research on physiological response and evolutionary emotions, Meston and Buss give us a remarkably complex and nuanced portrait of female sexuality. They explore the use of sex as a defensive tactic against a man''s infidelity (protection), as a ploy to boost self-confidence (status), as a barter for gifts (resource acquisition), or even as a cure for a headache (medication).Why Women Have Sex explores the deep-seated psychology and biology of female sexuality, and promises to inform every woman''s - and her partner''s - awareness of her relationship to sex aTrade ReviewThe most thorough taxonomy of sexual motivation ever compiled -- John Tierney * New York Times *A fascinating and often extraordinary exploration of the psychology and biology of sexual behaviour * Daily Express *A readable, brutal analysis of how your brain chooses partners for you * Evening Standard *Why Women Have Sex is a fascinating tour of what psychology and biology can tell us about women's sexual motivation.

Oxford University Press Inc The Case for Gay Reparations
Book SynopsisThis book makes the case for why the United States should embrace "gay reparations," or policies intended to make amends for a history of discrimination, stigmatization, and violence against the LGBT community. It contends that gay reparations are a moral imperative for bringing dignity to those whose human rights have been violated because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, for closing painful histories of state-sponsored victimization of LGBTpeople, and for reminding future generations of past struggles for LGBT equality. To make its case, the book examines how other Western democracies notorious for their oppression of homosexuals have implemented gay reparationsspecifically Spain, Britain, and Germany. Their collective experience showsthat although there is no universal approach to gay reparations, it is never too late for countries to seek to right past wrongs.Table of ContentsChapter 1: The Stonewall Apology Chapter 2: Debating Gay Reparation Chapter 3: America's "Dark" LGBT History Chapter 4: Rehabilitation and Redemption in Spain Chapter 5: Atonement and Contrition in Great Britain Chapter 6: Compensation and Remembrance in Germany Chapter 7: The Politics of Gay Reparation

The University of Chicago Press The Sexual Organization of the City
Book SynopsisDrawing on extensive surveys and interviews with Chicago adults, the editor and his colleagues show that the city is a place where sexual choices and options are constrained. They observe that the social and institutional networks that city dwellers occupy limit their sexual options.Trade Review"The Sexual Organization of the City is billed as a sort of academic 'Sex in the City' - though one that examines a more diverse slice of metropolitan life. Over three years, sociologist Edward O. Laumann and his colleagues questioned 2,114 people in four Chicago neighborhoods on everything from how many partners they'd had in their lives and where they met them to whether they were cheating.... The result is yet another glimpse of American sexual paradoxes." - Christopher Shea, Boston Globe "You don't have to be David Mamet to know that the typical Chicagoan's intense interest in real estate borders on the sexual. And now comes University of Chicago sociologist Edward O. Laumann to tell us that the reverse is also true: Neighborhoods play a critical role in how we choose partners for brief sexual encounters and long-term engagements." - Stephanie B. Goldberg, Chicago"

The University of Chicago Press Courtly Love the Love of Courtliness and the
Book SynopsisOne of the great achievements of the Middle Ages, Europe's courtly culture gave the world the tournament, the knighting ceremony, and also courtly love. But courtly love has been ignored by historians of sexuality. This work aims to correct this oversight with an analysis of key courtly texts of the medieval German literary tradition.Trade Review"This is the most important study of courtly love to appear in the last twenty years. Drawing on the rich medieval German literary tradition, this book argues that what moderns think of as sex is, in fact, a historical construct. Showing in detail how the great medieval German texts understood the category of sex, James Schultz adds a considerable chapter to the history of sex, the history of gender, and medieval studies." - Ann Marie Rasmussen, Duke University"

The University of Chicago Press The Sexual Politics of JeanJacques Rousseau
Book SynopsisJoel Schwartz presents the first systematic treatment of Rousseau's understanding of the political importance of women, sexuality, and the family. Using both Rousseau's lesser-known literary works and such major writings as Emile, Julie, and The Second Discourse, he offers an original and provocative presentation of Rousseau's argument. To read Rousseau, Schwartz believes, is to enter into a profound discourse about the meaning of sexual equality and the opportunities, pitfalls, costs, and benefits that sexual relationships bestow and impose on us all. His own thoughtful reading of Rousseau opens up fresh perspectives on political philosophy and the history of sexual, masculine, and feminine psychology.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Epstein-Levi has written the first book in Jewish ethics that neither condescends nor preaches to its reader. This is nothing short of liberation. There are very few academic books that are such a joy to read."—Martin Kavka, Florida State University"Rebecca Epstein-Levi's When We Collide brings rabbinic texts to life, literally. Epstein-Levi looks at how rabbinic texts match up against life, how they illuminate, and are illuminated by, lived sexual experience in the 21st century. Epstein-Levi is not content to stay in the comfortable realm of scholarly theory, though she does that too. She gets into the nuts and bolts of sex – how people actually behave, not how they like to say they behave, or how think they should behave, but how they actually do – to find insights from canonical Jewish traditions that can serve as guidance. Those insights do not come from the usual rabbinic-text suspects, however, but from texts that on the face of it are entirely unrelated to sex – texts on purity, texts with stories about rabbis interacting with other rabbis, texts that issue laws of capital punishment. Epstein-Levi finds in these far-flung and faraway ancient texts the resources – or as Epstein-Levi calls it, the dialogue partners – for a fresh sexual ethics today. She is able to make these connections because she starts with the presumption that sex is social, not separate and private, and that it is bound up with who we are in the fullest sense – in all our sexual, physical, and neuro diversity – and with how our communities operate. As we face a never-ending pandemic and a climate crisis that keeps getting worse, Epstein-Levi's reflections on risk as it relates to social life, sex, and the human experience feel all too timely and utterly pressing. When We Collide helps us to read rabbinic texts and to navigate sexual and social relationships, and it does by bringing the two fields together – rabbinics and sexual ethics – in a totally new way."—Beth Berkowitz, Ingeborg Rennert Chair of Jewish Studies and Professor of Religion, Barnard College.Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionPart I: Groundings1.

Profile Books Ltd Function of the Orgasm
Book SynopsisOver twenty years Wilhelm Reich, a psychologist and doctor of medicine, studied the relationship between the emotional, physiological and physical functions of biological energy. He saw the orgasm as the key to the body's energy metabolism, discovering that the biological emotions governing the psychic processes are themselves the immediate expression of strictly physical energy - which he named the cosmic orgone.Initially derided, Reich's theories are now seen as crucial to our understanding of ourselves and our fellow men. In appreciating why the orgasm brings a feeling of physical and emotional well-being, we can also gain insight into the physical and emotional ills that result from a thwarting of this bioenergetic function. Many researches into psychic energy believe that the aura recorded by Kirlian photography is nothing less than the manifestation of Reich's orgone energy.

Hachette Books Pussypedia
Book SynopsisIf the clitoris and penis are the same size on average, why is the word small in the definition of clitoris but strangely missing from the definition of penis? Sex probably doesn''t cause yeast infections? But racism probably does cause BV? Why is masturbating so awesome? How hairy are butt cracks . . . generally? Why is labiaplasty on a global astronomical rise? Does egg freezing really work? Should I stick an egg-shaped rock up there or nah?There is still a shocking lack of accurate, accessible information about pussies and many esteemed medical sources seem to contradict each other. Pussypedia solves that with extensive reviews of peer-reviewed science that address old myths, confusing inconsistencies, and the influence of gender narratives on scientific research--always in simple, joyful language. Through over 30 chapters, Pussypedia not only gives the reader information, but teaches them how to read science, how to consider information in its context, and how to accept what we don''t know rather than search for conclusions. It also weaves in personal anecdotes from the authors and their friends--sometimes funny, sometimes sad, often cringe-worthy, and always extremely personal--to do away with shame and encourage curiosity, exploration, and agency.A gift for your shy niece, your angsty teenager, your confused boyfriend, or yourself. Our generation''s Our Bodies, Ourselves, with a healthy dose of fun.
