Westerners believe that love makes life worth living; that sex is a
natural desire different in kind from love; and that only cynics
reduce our love life to a calculation of economic or genetic
factors. In this volume, essays explore these and other assumptions
about the relationship between romantic love and sex. This
represents the first interdisciplinary social science study of love
and sex. Contributors ask and answer questions such as: Is love
just sex idealized, or is it a transcendent and divine emotion? Is
love a cultural construct that is shared by members of the same
culture, or is it a matter of personal taste? What keeps
promiscuous people from using condoms even when they know they are
at risk? Are black professional men so "rare" that their
conceptions of love and sex differ from those of white professional
men? Are brutal sexual fantasies an exclusively male domain, and
are they always excluded from love fantasies among "normal"
adolescents? Is divorce a culturally induced response to
evolutionary reproductive strategies that compel individuals to
maximize their genetic legacy? Are marriages or relationships less
satisfying or stable when an actual mate falls short of the fantasy
of the ideal mate? Is there a universal core to love and sex that
is camouflaged by other cultural norms such as modesty and sexual
segregation? Is rape perceived as more "acceptable" when the rapist
says he was motivated by "love"? What do cult movements and
romantic love have in common? As they attempt to answer these and
other questions, the authors extend our understanding of the
variety of ways that love and sex are conceptualized, connected, or
separated.
How do you enjoy erection-free sex? How do you navigate consent? Is there a way of sending safe nudes? How do you have the hard conversations about sex? Sex can be scary but it doesn’t have to be.
In bite-size pieces of information, this guide will look all things sex and sexuality, busting myths and looking to upgrade the knowledge that you already have. It is the ultimate tool to help elevate your sex life.

Winner of the 2021 SSTAR Consumer Book Award! What makes sex
magnificent? What are the qualities of extraordinary erotic
intimacy and what are the elements that help to bring it about? Is
great sex the stuff that people remember nostalgically from the
"honeymoon" phase of their relationships, or can sex improve over
time? Magnificent Sex is based on the largest, in-depth interview
study ever conducted with people who are having extraordinary sex.
It gathers the nuggets for remarkable sex from the "experts",
distilling them into an attainable blueprint for ordinary lovers
who want to make erotic intimacy grow over the course of a
lifetime. Looking at factors including individual and relational
qualities, empathic communication and the myths and realities of
magnificent sex, this book offers accessible and evidence-based
guidance for lovers and therapists alike. It is replete with frank
and often humorous interviews with straight and LGBTQ individuals
and couples, those who are "vanilla" and "kinky", monogamous and
consensually non-monogamous and healthy and chronically ill. This
illuminating book explores the implications of the findings to
develop a model that effectively tackles the common problems of low
desire and frequency. The "cure" for low desire is to create
desirable sex!

Romantic relationships and health are fundamental for society, but
what happens to a person's well-being when he or she chooses the
"wrong" partner? Interracial Romance and Health: Bridging
Generations, Race Relations, and Well-Being tackles this growing
public health issue, which impacts millions of people in
interracial relationships, especially young adults. With a
particular focus on a group of young adults whom he calls the
Bridge Kids, Byron Miller provides a critical examination of how
racial identity, socialization, and the partner selection process
influence whether a person becomes interracially involved. For
those that do cross racial lines for romance, Miller reveals that
the race of one's partner can have a significant impact on their
lived experiences and health outcomes. Opposing the idea that
interracial relationships are bad for society and an individual's
health, Miller argues that interracial romance has health benefits
for some, is generally good for society, and that what is truly
detrimental is the unnecessary stress people in interracial
relationships feel due to their experiences with stigma, racism,
and discrimination. Miller concludes that as the prevalence of
interracial romance grows, so does the urgency to address these
issues to protect the well-being of the Bridge Kids and others in
interracial romantic partnerships.

addresses biphobia in our society In today's sexual world, both
straight and gay and lesbian communities still often refuse to

affirmation for bisexuality and polyamory. The nearly three dozen
essays in Bi Men: Coming Out Every Which Way are told in the honest
words of bisexuals, confirming the validity of their place in the
world while illustrating that there are more bi men than anyone
ever realized. These diverse and pioneering men's stories reveal a
long-disguised and unconventional truththat bisexuality is a valid
lifestyle that does not threaten either sexual camp. Each
contributor to this collection affirms the innate fluidity of self,
sexuality, family, and community, and proclaims that sexuality is
truly diverse in its predispositions and creativity. Bi Men: Coming
Out Every Which Way separates its essays into four parts: coming
out and personal realization of bisexual nature bisexuality's
effects on family and marriage an examination of the shifting
viewpoints of bisexuality within gay communities ways in which
