Love, sex and desire . . . how do we experience them? How do we relate them to the opposite sex? In 24 short chapters Alina Reyes writes in a range of styles: she can be erotic, poetic, humorous and candid. She describes her fantasies and her relationship with her own body. Alina Reyes also examines the social pressures, which lead to the premature deaths of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, and which contribute to widespread attitudes of machismo and/or shame. A serious examination of the nature of desire and how it fits in with the strictures of society.

Alina Reyes, one of the first female authors of erotica, has written several novels including the bestseller "The Butcher" (1988), which sold 500,000 copies in her native France.
