Using bisexuality as a frame, Go the Way Your Blood Beats questions
the division of sexuality into straight and gay, in a timely
exploration of the complex histories and psychologies of human
desire. A challenge to the idea that sexuality can either ever be
fully known or neatly categorised, it is a meditation on desire's
unknowability. Interwoven with anonymous addresses to past loves -
the sex of whom remain obscure - the book demonstrates the
universalism of human desire. Part essay, part memoir, part love
letter, Go the Way Your Blood Beats asks us to see desire and
sexuality as analogous with art - a mysterious, creative force.
"Born This Way" shares and celebrates all kinds of growing up LBGTQ
stories through personal memories and childhood photographs. With
more than 100 profiles, "Born This Way" is a delightful celebration
of growing up gay. Based on the hugely popular (3 million views and
counting since its launch in January 2011) blog of the same name,
this hip, gifty little hardcover belongs in the homes of America
and the world. It's a book for members of the LBGTQ community, as
well as friends, family, and anyone who has followed the tragic
stories of gay teen suicides. It will tap into the same vein as Dan
Savage's "It Gets Better Project", giving people everywhere the
courage to say Yes, I'm gay. And I was born this way. I've known it
since I was very young, and this is my story.
The premise of this book is simple: When it comes to sex, dating,
and relationships, sometimes we get in so deep the only way out is
to start over again. In Part One, Ian Kerner introduces the basic
underpinnings of the Detox program. Just as a physical fast, or
change in diet, will rapidly alter your metabolism and natural body
chemistry, so too will a sex/dating detox impact your
neurochemistry, enabling you to reset, rewire and, ultimately,
rejuvenate your love life. Not only will it help readers to turn
off the noise and find peace of mind, it will help them transform
that new mindfulness into actions that reverberate throughout every
aspect of their lives.Part two is programmatic, and is divided into
sections for couples and singles. Kerner lays out a course of
action for to follow over a focused 30-day period that includes
quizzes, diagnostics, self-reflection assignments, and exercises.
Those in a relationship will learn to see themselves through their
own eyes rather than their partner's. They will come to understand
their sexual history as more than just a series of physical
encounters, but rather as connected experiences in which the whole
is so much greater than the sum of its parts.For singles, the
"Dating Detox" will give then a give a chance to step off the
dating treadmill, catch their breath, and recover inner strength
for the road ahead. In Part Three, Kerner focuses on rejuvenation
(and re-connection). Those in a relationship will experience the
'thrill of the chaste' and learn how to touch their partner with a
renewed sense of passion and possibility. Singles will recalibrate
their aspirations to connect to potential mates from a place of
strength and self-knowledge that will eventually bring long-term
compatibility.

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.

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.

exchanges will support and encourage people who have already
embarked on a sexual enquiry. And inspire others to start right
away.
