When OUR BODIES, OURSELVES was first published in 1970, it was the
first book to give women truthful, complete information about their
sexual and reproductive health. Today, our understanding of
sexuality and health are radically different--yet there's no
similar book that synthesises a progressive understanding of
gender, ability, identity and size. Until now. EVERY BODY is the
first radically inclusive compendium of stories, essays,
interviews, and art about sex. These deeply personal
stories--covering topics as varied as first times, being in an open
relationship, learning to accept hairy butts and extra nipples,
accidental pregnancies, sex toys, pleasure, fears, traumas, and
more--take the stigmatised topics and questions we've all had but
have always been afraid to ask, and turn them into words of
guidance, confidence, and community. And in between, there are
interviews with and essays by experts--a counsellor at Planned
Parenthood, a high school health teacher, a clerk at a sex-positive
sex shop, a urologist, a disability activist, and many, many more.
The result is a deeply informative and inclusive user's guide to
your body, no matter its shape, size, or preferences. With an
exuberant, diverse group of voices and gorgeous illustrations that
bring each story to life, EVERY BODY is destined to be a treasured
resource and trusted companion for generations to come.
For many years the focus of fear and disgust, the anus is actually
one of the human body's most wondrous creations-elegant, efficient,
and richly supplied with pleasure nerves. However, stress and
ignorance can turn the anus and its functions from a source of
delight into a painful disability. What's needed is an owner's
manual-and here it is Join therapist and sexologist Jack Morin,
Ph.D., on this tour of the anus, complete with information and
exercises to open the door to new sources of comfort and
gratification. You'll unlearn habits that can cause everything from
hemorrhoids to chronic pelvic pain- and, if you choose, learn new
ways of achieving solo and partnered pleasures through this
humblest of portals.
"A highly personal, richly informed and culturally wide-ranging
meditation on the loss of meaning in our times and on pathways to
rediscovering it." -Gabor Mate, MD, author of In The Realm of
Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction A
neuroanthropologist maps out a revolutionary new practice-Hedonic
Engineering-that combines the best of neuroscience and optimal
psychology. It's an intensive program of breathing, movement, and
sexuality that mends trauma, heightens inspiration and tightens
connections-helping us wake up, grow up, and show up for a world
that needs us all. This is a book about a big idea. And the idea is
this: Slowly over the past few decades, and now suddenly, all at
once, we're suffering from a collapse in Meaning. Fundamentalism
and nihilism are filling that vacuum, with consequences that affect
us all. In a world that needs us at our best, diseases of despair,
tribalism, and disaster fatigue are leaving us at our worst. It's
vital that we regain control of the stories we're telling because
they are shaping the future we're creating. To do that, we have to
remember our deepest inspiration, heal our pain and apathy, and
connect to each other like never before. If we can do that, we've
got a shot at solving the big problems we face. And if we can't?
Well, the dustbin of history has swallowed civilizations older and
fancier than ours. This book is divided into three parts. The
first, Choose Your Own Apocalypse, takes a look at our current
Meaning Crisis--where we are today, why it's so hard to make sense
of the world, what might be coming next, and what to do about it.
It also makes a case that many of our efforts to cope, whether
anxiety and denial, or tribalism and identity politics, are likely
making things worse. The middle section, The Alchemist Cookbook,
applies the creative firm IDEO's design thinking to the Meaning
Crisis. This is where the book gets hands on--taking a look at the
strongest evolutionary drivers that can bring about inspiration,
healing, and connection. From breathing, to movement, sexuality,
music, and substances--these are the everyday tools to help us wake
up, grow up, and show up. AKA--how to blow yourself sky high with
household materials. And the best part? They're accessible, by
anyone anywhere, no middleman required. Transcendence democratized.
The final third of the book, Ethical Cult Building, focuses on the
tricky nature of putting these kinds of experiences into gear and
into culture-because, anytime in the past when we've figured out
combinations of peak states and deep healing, we've almost always
ended up with problematic culty communities. Playing with fire has
left a lot of people burned. This section lays out a roadmap for
sparking a thousand fires around the world--each one unique and
tailored to the needs and values of its participants. Think of it
as an open-source toolkit for building ethical culture. In
Recapture the Rapture, we're taking radical research out of the
extremes and applying it to the mainstream--to the broader social
problem of healing, believing, and belonging. It's providing
answers to the questions we face: how to replace blind faith with
direct experience, how to move from broken to whole, and how to
cure isolation with connection. Said even more plainly, it shows us
how to revitalize our bodies, boost our creativity, rekindle our
relationships, and answer once and for all the questions of why we
are here and what do we do now? In a world that needs the best of
us from the rest of us, this is a book that shows us how to get it
done.

Birds do it, bees do it. And guess what--cookies do it, too. In
fact, never have a pair of gingerbread cookies looked so pleased.
Yes, the Kama Sutra meets the Joy of Cooking. Featuring an
unabashed gingerbread couple, who are photographed in unflinching
full color, the Cookie Sutra is a recipe for pleasure.
There is The First Posture, where two are yoked as one (yet the
calorie count remains unchanged). The Pair of Tongs, allowing the
woman to be open, free, sweet and crunchy. Pounding the Spot,
requiring the suppleness of freshly rolled dough. There is
Scissors, Autumn Dog, Tripod, The Wheelbarrow, The Snake Trap. And,
for the advanced and adventurous, The Suspended Congress--great
care must be taken lest the cookies crumble.
Diana Richardson is an expert on sex and affairs of the heart.
Thirty years ago while living in India she began a tantric enquiry
into the deeper nature of sex and love. These innocent steps turned
out to be life-changing and the result is that today she is an
authority on human sexuality, and the author of the bestselling
Heart of Tantric Sex. Her basic insight is that 'how' you have sex
has a direct impact on the quality of your life. Sex 'with
awareness' is an empowering force that brings self assurance and
clarity, balances mood swings, enhances creativity, and
significantly elevates the vibration of love within and around you.
Tantric Love Letters is a unique, interesting, insightful and
informative collection of correspondence. These authentic letter
exchanges will support and encourage people who have already
embarked on a sexual enquiry. And inspire others to start right
away.
What is the Kama Sutra? Is it a spiritual text written by a
visionary man of wisdom in India almost two millennia ago? Or is it
the world's first mucky book? Well, it's the former - it's a
spiritual text written by a visionary man of wisdom in India almost
two millennia ago. Though shocking for its time, the Kama Sutra has
gone on to become the world's most respected guide book on all
matters sexual, and is now on top of the wardrobes or under the
beds of over sixty percent of the world's teenage boys. It is a
common and misconceived belief among the younger generations that
sex is something not only void in the minds of our senior citizens,
but is most likely physically impossible for those who are at or
beyond retirement age. The glorious truth may come as a bit of a
shock to the youth of today - it may even conjure up images in
their minds best left 'till after lunch! The world's oldies are
sexually active. New and exciting research has uncovered startling
new evidence that oldies are still 'at it', and still 'do it'
whenever they don't have a bad back. Can it be true? Are our most
senior citizens getting their wrinkly legs over? If you are an
older person, take heart - there's a lot of dusty action out there.
Sex in the twilight years, though similar in mechanics to the
couplings of youth, is in fact vastly different. This book exposes
the secret world of grey love and covers every aspect of senior
congress - from geriatric anatomy and attraction, through to mating
rituals, sex positions, post-sex heart condition medication and
proper service and care of pace makers.
A step-by-step guide to raising kundalini and embodying the
dynamic, sexual force, that is the Power of Sekhem. Sex is the most
potent force in the universe. A primal power. And sacred sexuality
is a gateway to the divine. Something that the ancient Egyptians
recognised instinctively. In The Magical Sexual Practices of
Ancient Egypt, bestselling author, Judy Hall, offers the reader
powerful sexual magic for the present day. It reveals sexual
secrets hidden for millennia. This jealously guarded secret
doctrine is now available to everyone. The system activates your
creative erotic potential. Kindling the inner and outer mystic
marriages, it is a joining of souls with the divine. Through a
cosmic orgasm that is literally mind-blowing, the process generates
the power to manifest and integrate expanded consciousness into the
everyday world. The system can be used to attract a twin-flame or
make a sacred marriage with an existing partner. The practice can
also be worked alone to invoke an integration with your highest
Self. Crystals support the practice throughout. Accompaniment to
Judy Hall's new novel, The Alchemy of the Night.
The provocative classic work newly updated
An intimate personal odyssey across America's changing sexual
landscape
When first published, Gay Talese's 1981 groundbreaking work,
"Thy Neighbor's Wife," shocked a nation with its powerful,
eye-opening revelations about the sexual activities and
proclivities of the American public in the era before AIDS. A
marvel of journalistic courage and craft, the book opened a window
into a new world built on a new moral foundation, carrying the
reader on a remarkable journey from the Playboy Mansion to the
Supreme Court, to the backyards and bedrooms of suburbia--through
the development of the porn industry, the rise of the "swinger"
culture, the legal fight to define obscenity, and the daily sex
lives of "ordinary" people. It is the book that forever changed the
way Americans look at themselves and one another.
