"Everything You Didn't Want to Know about Sex" provides a
compelling glimpse into Internet dating and matchmaking sites and
into the human sexual expressions of those who use these dating
tools to find a mate.
For over two years, Reynaldo Olivia toured and joined several
matchmaking sites of various styles and through his research and
interaction with other site visitors; he collected the stories for
this book. Posing as a male in every case, he was as young as
twenty-seven and as old as sixty-five. After acting straight,
bisexual and gay and leading over a thousand conversations, Olivia
shares the results of his unscientific study, revealing surprising
revelations that include fetishes, fantasies, and everything in
between. From the obese woman who was over three hundred pounds and
hungry for sex to the middle-aged woman with a shaved head who
wished for slaves she could punish to satisfy her sadistic desires,
Olivia shares the unique wants of those who frequent these sites to
find others who share the same sexual cravings.
This fascinating look into cyberspace and the world of Internet
dating proves that visitors have a vested interest in expanding
their sex lives, and desire the freedom to express their needs
while protecting their personal identity.
Experts address key issues-from attitudes and behaviors to
harassment and homophobia-related to sexuality among college
students. With essays by a wide range of knowledgeable
contributors, Sex in College: The Things They Don't Write Home
About draws on recent research to examine just about every aspect
of its intriguing subject. The book begins with general chapters
that offer historical, cross-cultural, and theoretical perspectives
on college students' sexual attitudes and behaviors. One chapter
offers a framework for understanding the unique developmental
perspective of young adults. Another chapter explores the research
methods used to study college students' sexual practices.
Subsequent chapters cover: dating and intimacy on campus, the
perspective of young adults about love, sexuality education and
classes, and sexual orientation. The darker side of college
sexuality is also examined in chapters centering on such topics as
infidelity in college dating relationships, homophobia and sexual
harassment on campus, sexual risk-taking and sexually transmitted
infections, sexual problems and dysfunction among young adults, and
sexual assault among college students. Contributions from a
cross-disciplinary list of distinguished scholars and practitioners
An overview of the research methods used to study sexuality among
college students and their limitations
This book presents a timely analysis of the psychological
influences, underpinnings, and predictors of non-consensual
image-based sexual offending (NCIBSO), such as revenge pornography,
cyber-flashing, deepfake media production and upskirting. In this
rapidly expanding field, this book offers a novel perspective that
encompasses both a forensic psychoanalytic analysis of offending
behaviours and an examination of the influence of our use of online
environments and digital platforms on these behaviours. The authors
begin by outlining the historical and legal context before moving
on to a critique of previously posited motivating factors. Rather
than conceptualising NCIBSO in purely gendered terms, they
demonstrate the potential for a psychological framework to
facilitate a better understanding of how and why people engage in a
range of non-consensual sexual image offences. In doing so it will
provide fresh insights for policymakers and clinicians, in addition
to scholars from across the fields of psychology, sociology,
criminology, law, media and gender studies.
"The best work by anyone on prostitution ever, Rachel Moran's Paid
For fuses the memoirist's lived poignancy with the philosopher's
conceptual sophistication. The result is riveting, compelling,
incontestable. Impossible to put down. This book provides all
anyone needs to know about the reality of prostitution in moving,
insightful prose that engages and disposes of every argument ever
raised in its favor." -Catharine A. MacKinnon, law professor,
University of Michigan and Harvard University Born into a troubled
family, Rachel Moran left home at the age of fourteen. Being
homeless, she was driven into prostitution to survive. With
intelligence and empathy, she describes the exploitation she and
others endured on the streets and in the brothels. Moran also
speaks to the psychological damage inherent to prostitution and the
inevitable estrangement from one's body. At twenty-two, Moran
escaped the sex trade. She has since become a writer and an
abolitionist activist.

Is prostitution immoral? In this book, Rob Lovering argues that it
is not. Offering a careful and thorough critique of the
many-twenty, to be exact-arguments for prostitution's immorality,
Lovering leaves no claim unchallenged. Drawing on the relevant
literature along with his own creative thinking, Lovering offers a
clear and reasoned moral defense of the world's oldest profession.
Lovering demonstrates convincingly, on both consequentialist and
nonconsequentialist grounds, that there is nothing immoral about
prostitution between consenting adults. The legal implications of
this view are also brought to bear on the current discourse
surrounding this controversial topic.
This book draws on interviews with women who left relationships
with women to begin relationships with men, and uncovers how the
women make sense of who they are. The women who leave female
partners to begin relationships with male partners have the
capacity to redefine their sexual identity. They can essentially
call themselves whatever they want. However, their capacity for
such a creative process is limited. In the process of framing their
decision in a way that renders their claim to a stable identity
legitimate, the women communicate their understandings of notions
of identity, community, and belonging. The women also show a
nuanced regard for sexual categories. They stretch the boundaries
of some categories, while preserving and even policing the
boundaries of other categories. This book is in no way an ex-gay
narrative. It is entirely the voices of feminist, queer women who
find themselves viewed by society as heterosexual, but who
themselves, with two exceptions, do not identify as such. This book
is a rich collection of wonderfully human stories about what it
means to be "true" to oneself.

This timely anthology brings into sharp relief the extent of
violence against women. Its range is global and far reaching in
terms of the number of victims. There are deeply entrenched values
that need to be rooted out and laid bare. This text offers a
philosophical analysis of the problem, with important insights from
the various contributors. Topics range from sexual assault to media
violence, prostitution and pornography, domestic violence, and
sexual harassment. Each of the four parts include essays which
tackle these issues and provide us with tools for bringing about
change. The philosophical approaches to the topic give readers
insight into the harms of interpersonal violence and its impact on
the lives of its victims. Analyzing Violence Against Women calls us
to examine public policies and work for systemic change. In the
process, we are reminded that the concerns of the discipline of
Philosophy encompasses issues with a wider scope. Students will
especially benefit from seeing how the various authors grapple with
this pressing issue and clarify why we need to bring about change.

La sexualidad humana inicia con la fecundacion y termina mas alla
de la muerte del ser humano. Los hombres tenemos la posibilidad de
recibir permanentemente estimulos tanto externos- por medio de
nuestros sentidos- como internos a traves de fantasias, suenos o
pensamientos, que nos generan lo que se llama la RESPUESTA SEXUAL
MASCULINA, que es el sentir el deseo o impulso de vivir un
encuentro sexual ya sea con nosotros mismos o con alguna (as)
otra(s) persona (s). Esta respuesta sexual se manifiesta por
cambios en los signos vitales, en nuestros genitales y areas extra
genitales, es decir, en todo nuestro cuerpo fisico, emocional,
afectivo y espiritual. En este libro se mencionan los cambios
mencionados en las etapas del hombre y se describen las
disfunciones sexuales masculinas: trastornos del deseo sexual, la
disfuncion erectil y la fisiopatologia de las disfunciones
eyaculatorias, enfatizando en la eyaculacion precoz, rapida o
ultimamente llamada involuntaria. Incluye las causas tanto
organicas como psicologicas de estos padecimientos y lo mas
importante, la manera de solucionarlos.
Thanks for the Memories destroys the historical myth that young men
and women went about the business of war and stayed on the straight
and narrow path. Rather, World War II provided new opportunities
for sexual experimentation, for hasty marriages, for flourishing
prostitution-and for love connections that have stood the test of
time. Young men in the military, far away from family and home, did
things they might never have done. Young women, many of whom went
to work for the first time, experienced a freedom and independence
most women had never known. Because of the war, courtships were cut
short, couples married more quickly than normal, and husbands and
wives were often separated for several years. Despite attempts to
get back to normal after the war and the apparent togetherness of
the 1950s, World War II had set change in motion, heralding the
second wave of the women's liberation movement. The collective
consciousness of World War II revolved around the virtues of
bravery, sacrifice, and commitment. Members of The Greatest
Generation toed political and social lines in hopes of winning the
war. They fell into lockstep, asking very few questions, and
breaking few social and sexual mores. Or did they? In fact, World
War II was-like all wars-a time of sexual experimentation and a
general loosening of morals. It was a time of conflicting emotions
and conflicting messages, a time of great sacrifice, and a time of
discovery, when some groups, especially woman, experienced a
relaxing of bonds that had kept them in check. Thanks For The
Memories: Love, Sex, and World War II the true story of how the
World War II generation responded to the passions of war, and how
those passions changed their lives-and the relationships between
the sexes-forever. But this book is more than that. As Jane Mersky
Leder writes, Thanks for the Memories opens the hearts and memories
of a generation that is dying, by one estimate, at the rate of more
than 1,000 a day. It exposes the sexual and romantic escapades of
The Greatest Generation and underscores how those four war years
revolutionized relationships (including those between gays), and
how it helped set the stage for the second wave of the women's
liberation movement. Many who never thought their stories mattered,
Leder writes, now feel the pull of limited time, and the importance
of leaving an accurate account for their children and grandchildren
of what it was like to be a young man or young woman during World
War II. This is their collective story.
