Summary:
"Perversions are more common than we think. Psychologist Jesse Bering argues that we are all sexual deviants on one level or another. A woman who falls madly in love with the Eiffel Tower, a young man addicted to seductive sneezes, and a pair of deeply affectionate identical twins. The author challenges us to move beyond our judgments and attitudes toward "deviant" sex and consider the alternative: What would happen if we rise above our fears and revulsions and accepted our true natures? The history of perversions, the biological reasons behind our distaste for unusual sexual proclivities, and the latest research on desire. Armed with reason, science, and an insatiable appetite for knowledge, Bering humanizes deviants while asking some very provocative questions about the nature of hypocrisy, prejudice, and when sexual desire can lead to harm. Our complex relationship with our carnal urges and the ways in which we disguise, deny, and shame the sexual deviant in all of us"--Provided by publisher.
