LIFE CAN BE RICH AND FULL--AT ANY AGE

You may be getting older but love and sex are still a vital part of your life. Here is the book that speaks to your concerns about sex beyond the middle years. Two leading experts have completely updated and revised the classic guide on the subject to address the needs of our changing world in the new millennium. Inside you'll find:

- The truth about aging and how it affects sexual desire and lovemaking

How Can We Talk About That? is a down-to-earth resource that can help you overcome your hang-ups so you can talk to your kids openly and honestly about sex. Author Jane DiVita Woody's new approach will inspire you to examine your sexual history so you will be better able to give your children both accurate sex education and meaningful moral guidance. Throughout the book she offers parents practical ideas for making changes and gaining the information and communication skills they need to guide the next generation toward sexual health.

With a rare directness and clarity about sex and reproduction, sexual values, and cultural influences on sexuality, Deborah Roffman challenges and teaches readers how to develop a blueprint for opening the lines of communication with children of all ages. Sex and Sensibility introduces the five core parenting skills that parents need to confidently interpret and comfortably respond to virtually any question a child might pose or any situation that arises. Powerfully instructive and thought provoking, it should be required reading for parents; it will inspire honest talk about sex and sexuality, helping all of us be better parents for the effort.

While your woman is breast-feeding your child with one of her breasts, why don't you, at the same time, let her feed you with the other. It's a "family affair," so why eat elsewhere.

SEXUALITY / ANCIENT EGYPT"Utilizing material sequestered away in museum and university archives and rarely seen, evidently because of its explicit sexuality, Ruth Schumann Antelme reveals an aspect of Egypt that many have suspected but no one to date has demonstrated: an intense and joyous eroticism that plays out in the human sphere but is intimately tied to a profound metaphysical and cosmological Egyptian understanding--sex as a sacrament."John Anthony West, author of The Traveler's Key to Ancient EgyptSacred Sexuality in Ancient Egypt is the first book to fully explore the sexual philosophy and practices of the ancient Egyptians. Until recently the papyri, whose explicit illustrations of Egyptian sexual practices were judged too shocking, were off-limits to all but a few scholars. Now Egyptologist Ruth Schumann Antelme provides us with a new view of the provocative sexual life of the ancient Egyptians, revealing the intimate details of a society in which sexuality was a dynamic principle of the divine world.Richly illustrated with more than 160 black-and-white reproductions and 23 color plates, Sacred Sexuality in Ancient Egypt explains the symbolism of the erotic images found on the inner walls of temples and tombs, as well as those carved into pieces of limestone and sketched on papyri. They reveal the Egyptians attitude toward love, as well as specific common and uncommon sexual practices. Schumann Antelme and Rossini also examine in great detail the astonishingly erotic scenes illustrated in the Turin Papyrus, images that have long been kept from public view. The authors show us the connection of sacred sexuality to Egyptian cosmic symbolism as well as demonstrate that everylevel of Egyptian society was imbued with sexual power.RUTH SCHUMANN ANTELME is an Egyptologist, an eneritus researcher of the CNRS in France, and a former professor at the Ecole du Louvre. She is author of Becoming Osiris and and is a resident of Paris. STEPHANE ROSSINI illustrated Becoming Osiris and Reading and Writing Hieroglyphics. He lives in Paris.

Welcome to the Very Lonely Planet: the kingdom of single guydom, a place for men to discuss women problems?the problem being, there aren't any women. It's a place where doggy-style sex means drooling and begging and not much else. It's a halfway house for teenage boys, weepy twentysomething indie-rock sad sacks; the divorced, the widowed, the wretched, and everything in between. The Very Lonely Planet is neither heaven nor hell, but a place that gets warmer, stickier, and more uncomfortable with each passing day, a kind of Gilligan's Island, populated by unlucky single guys whose attempts to escape the island's confines are elaborate, humorous, and rarely successful. "A Very Lonely Planet" traces the history and psychology of the single guy. It is one single guy's guide to navigating the search for love, companionship, and presumed eternal happiness. Divided into five sections?Denial, Anger, Fear, Bargaining, Acceptance?learn about the history of the Very Lonely Planet, its formation (Bronze Age, Stone Age, Machine Age, Alone Age) and institutions (self-government; i.e., "Every man for himself"). Also included is a look at the four magic words?"We Have To Talk"? that commences one's free flight to the enchanted forest of the Very Lonely Planet. Your host at the Very Lonely Planet is Ryan Bigge, who's been single for a very long time, and has himself tried to escape. From a failed week-long blind date in New York to an enjoyable, but fruitless, appearance on Cooking For Love (The Dating Game meets The Iron Chef), Bigge presents a male confessional that is ?to his dismay?somewhat lacking in the "kiss and tell." Funny and bittersweet, "A Very Lonely Planet" is filled with pearls of single-guy wisdom, a book that will make a guy's search for love a little less painful. Amid the plethora of relationship books and magazines aimed at women comes this long-overdue guide for single guys looking to get off the Very Lonely Planet. It's the perfect antidote for those sick of the New Age earnestness of Mars and Venus.

Masturbation: The History of a Great Terror is a funny and frightening look at the attitudes towards masturbation throughout history and how they have affected the sex lives of anyone living and breathing today. The French biologist, Tissot, was the original spoil-sport who turned masturbation into the scourge of young men everywhere. Saying that a little self-induced pleasure caused wasting, insanity, and finally death, Tissot put the clamps (literally, in some cases) on the greatest relaxation inducer known to humankind. From Tissot's work to the punitive postures of the German courts to the surgical preventatives of continental Europe and England to the handbook of the Boy Scouts of America, spanking/wanking, yanking/choking, and other assorted diddling became the big no-no. Stengers and Van Neck give us the whole story and it isn't pretty, but it will fascinate everyone who agrees with Woody Allen when he said "Hey, don't knock masturbation! It's sex with someone I love."

The sexual healing methods developed more than five thousand years ago by Chinese sexologists, and practised by emperors and peasants alike to prolong life (and pleasure) have only recently been discovered in the West. The ancient Chinese believed that the harmonious union of yin (female energy) and yang (male energy) was instrumental to the soundness of mind and body. Now, modern sex experts commonly cite the dynamic connection between good health and good sex as a major factor in happiness and long life.

In this book, cultural anthropologist Zaihong Shen guides lovers through a comprehensive exploration of the venerable Yin and Yang Method - a wide range of techniques designed to extend the arousal period and increase pleasure and wellbeing, from breathing and preparatory exercises to detailed instructions for a multitude of sexual positions. For modern lovers wishing to reach heightened levels of health, enjoyment and awareness Sexual Healing through Yin and Yang reveals exciting new erotic vistas to experience and enjoy together.

• Correct breathing for sexual health
• How to enhance stamina and thus intensify pleasure
• Elegant photographs and detailed descriptions of healing positions for lovers
• Using naturally aphrodisiac foods to stimulate sexual appetite

Tools for healing the trauma of sexual shame. This book will provide pastors and congregational leadership the tools to identify the assumptions, behaviors, and structures that promote, while masking, sexual shame and to begin healing sexual shame both individually and corporately.

The 30 "female sexual revolutionaries" who contributed to this collection come from a wide variety of backgrounds, locales, and professions. Doctors, journalists, entrepreneurs, prostitutes, and porn stars offer their hard-won insights on subjects ranging from how to have better orgasms, exhibitionism, and bringing sex toys to the bedroom, to performance art, S/M, fetishism, and gender bending.

Sex Tips and Tales from Women Who Dare is a practical and personal look at sexual diversity that covers such topics as spiritual sexuality, stripping, drag, physical disabilities, masturbation, and same-sex relationships. The book is aimed at women, men, and couples who want to spice up their sex life or transcend inhibitions. The message is simple but powerful: Sexuality is a lifelong adventure, one that can be fun and dynamic at any age and in any circumstance.

Ex-mistress Claudia Varrin celebrates the delightful and unexpected romance and sensuality of D&S (dominance and submission) and offers suggestions on how to add this delicious spice to a bland sexual relationship. From its light-hearted "party games" to its detailed anatomy lesson (imperative for anyone who plans to wield a whip), The Art of Sensual Female Dominance explores many D&S practices in a direct but sensitive way. Varrin communicates how these practices not only are sexually fulfilling but also can bring couples closer emotionally and spiritually.

The book suggests ways in which a woman can introduce D&S into a relationship, gives advice on how to set up one's first D&S scene, and explores the emotions each partner experiences before, during, and after "playtime".

There is instruction on the specifics of bondage, foot worship, and discipline, to name just a few of the fabulous fetish and fantasy chapters.

"Good Sex is a pioneering effort to create an interreligious dialogue specifically on sexuality. . . . It] is the realization of efforts by concerned feminists to talk across national and religious borders in the name of social justice."-VOLUNTUS, International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations "This collection of essays is a useful addition to contemporary post-colonial, post-Beijing women's studies courses that seek to integrate a plurality of cultural and religious perspectives into the discourse on women's sexuality. . . . The volume is very helpful in communicating a sense of the history or feminist discourse and the effects of globalization on that discourse. . . . And everyone smiles when they hear the title of the book."-Journal of Contemporary Religion "This groundbreaking collection of 11 articles by women from eight countries and seven religious traditions challenges male-defined ideas of sexuality that have constricted women by denying them pleasure and autonomous agency and threatening their well-being and, sometimes, lives. . . . While the contributors do not always agree, they do recognize the importance of global and interdisciplinary perspectives and affirm the tension women experience when they work for change from within a repressive tradition. Recommended." -Library Journal "The collection as a whole makes both an explicit and implicit case for culture, and not religion, being the primary source of undertandings of sex as solely for reproduction, and illustrates religions that have always recognized other purposes (Judaism, Islam) as well as religions which have come to recognize other purposes (Christianity). . . . A very useful collection in terms of both the data is provides and its methodological reflection."-Conscience "At this most timely moment in history, Good Sex] presents diverse and supremely intelligent perspectives on the systematic terrorizing of women through sexual slavery, marital rape, domestic violence, and rules of behavior designed to numb mind, body, and spirit. . . . At the same time, the major message of the book is one of optimism. It offers eloquent language for redefining sexual pleasure beyond immediate, goal-oriented gratification and for discussing ethical principles that locate sex at the center of public policy, not only in the bedroom or the family law courts. . . . Good Sex] contains insightful arguments for sexual justice, inviting us to rethink and expand our stock definitions of what constitutes good sex, or even sex itself, and to reevaluate the contexts in which such redefined sex can be enjoyed. This collection of essays deserves to be on the shelf of every library on the planet as well as standard issue in women's study courses and all courses dealing with sexuality, spirituality, and religion."-The Journal of Sex Research "Good Sex is a rare gem. It opens doors of inquiry into feminism, religion, and sexuality-exploring terrain that is vital to the human rights of women and men. It invites passionate debate and will no doubt become a classic."-Charlotte Bunch, executive director, Center for Women's Global Leadership, Rutgers University What is "good sex" in the globalized world of the twenty-first century? This volume brings together essays by feminist scholars from different religions and cultures to consider how women are redefining sexuality for the common good. The essays explore sexual and social restrictions on women; religiously and socially acceptable avenues of sexual expression; constructions of sexual identities; and attitudes toward women's sexual desires. How is sexual desire constructed within specific cultural and religious contexts? What sacrifices must women make (and how do they make them) simply to have sexual lives? What options and strategies are available to women to dissolve the many restrictions imposed on their sexuality? These are some of the questions being explored.

Get ready to enjoy a lively, funny, sometimes shocking, and always fascinating treatment of a subject you were just thinking about anyway!

Great Moments in Sex is an entertaining romp through the history of sex--from ancient times to the era of Viagra and Monica Lewinsky -- complete with the gadgets, people, literature, songs, advertisements, movies, and events associated with all things sexual.

At any given moment, any given person is more likely to be thinking about sex than about anything else. It makes us who we are and it determines what we do. It's the bane, the pain, the pleasure of our existence. If history has proved anything, it's that there's just no rational way to deal with sex--and this book is a fun and fascinating review of the absurd, amazing, bewildering, frightening, and altogether irrational ways we have dealt with it throughout time.

Great Moments in Sex chronicles the whole libidinous, lascivious, and just plain loony story: the tools we've used, the laws we've made, the so-called expert advice from Aristotle to The Joy of Sex, the attempts to repress sex, and the infinitely varied ways it has popped up anyway.
