Book description
When did your sexual experiences start?
Are you having more virtual sex than real sex?
Can you have too much or not enough sex?
What exactly is 'normal'?
Bestselling author and leading sex therapist, Pamela
Stephenson-Connolly takes us on an eye-opening journey to explode the
myths and answer the embarrassing questions we've always wanted to ask
about sex and our insatiable appetite for it.
Drawing on hundreds of intimate interviews with ordinary people of
all ages, appetites and backgrounds, Stephenson-Connolly reveals how
the ever-present sexual force in each of us evolves throughout our
lives, from our first months in the womb up right until our nineties
and beyond. She also shows that there is no such thing as 'normal' and
that anything goes when it comes to sex as long as it is safe, sane
and consensual. The result is an intimate portrait of our sexual
selves that dispels the myths, guilt and mystery surrounding sex and
our sexual urges.
Hugely informative, always entertaining and at times shocking, this
is arguably one of the most enlightening books on sex ever published.
