The Politics of Lust

By John Ince

Book Overview

Sex is one of the great joys of life - satisfying to the body, sublime to the soul. But when we examine our sexual psychology with a careful eye, we will find a reservoir of fear toward sexual expression. From nudity to public sex, masturbation to homosexuality, monogamy to group sex, pornography to prostitution, eroticism secretly disturbs us. Yet the existence of this pervasive sexual anxiety is not widely recognized.The Politics of Lust exposes our hidden sexual anxiety and the disturbing social system that breeds it in the minds of millions of people. The challenging ideas set out in this book will give you a radical new perspective on your sexuality and your society.

concise study

i found this book to be very educational. usually we don't tend to note our reactions to situations or ideas unless we are paying attention to it, and i have never really looked at the erotiphobia in our society. its kind of funny because we live a more liberal lifestyle here than people do in other places in the world, but we seem almost afraid of our sexuality. of course i'm a novice in the subject, but this seemed to be a pretty good study on the sexuality in our society and more importantly, on our (almost) rejection of it. its worth checking out in any case.
