Sex, Tourism and the Postcolonial Encounter: Landscapes of Longing in Egypt (New Directions in Tourism Analysis)
by Jessica JacobsIllustrated by revealing interviews with women and men in the tourist resorts in the Sinai, Egypt, this book is ostensibly about western women who sleep with 'native' men while on holiday. Broadening the scope of issues involved, it examines the link between these holiday romances and a much wider romanticism of place and people - of the landscapes of paradise, deserts and the lure of the Bedouin sheikh - that are used to sell these destinations. It argues that the romantic stereotyping and deliberate positioning of 'Third World' resorts as places that somehow exist outside of the modernities the women come from is inextricably bound up in the relationships. Similarly, for the local man the tourist resort is perceived as a place other than his own cultural space and time and represents a modernity that is otherwise only found in the 'West'. The relationships that ensue can therefore only occur because the tourist resort acts as an intermediate space. In analyzing the interaction of these men and women within the context of modernity, the book provides insights into gender issues to do with globalization, travel and sexuality, as well as opening up the debate on sex tourism and showing this to be a lot more ambiguous and complicated than it might at first appear.

Sex Versus Survival: The Life and Ideas of Sabina Spielrein
by John LaunerThe first full and accessible account of one of the most significant and overlooked figures in the field of sexual psychology Who was Sabina Spielrein? She is probably best known for her notorious affair with Carl Jung, which was dramatized in the film A Dangerous Method, starring Keira Knightley. Yet her life story is much more compelling than just one famous relationship. Spielrein overcame family and psychological abuse to become a profoundly original thinker in her own right. Sex Versus Survival is the first biography to put her life and ideas at the center of the story and examine Spielrein's key role in the development of psychoanalysis. Drawing on fresh research into Spielrein's diaries, papers, and correspondence, John Launer shows how Spielrein's overlooked ideas--rejected by Freud and Jung but substan-tially vindicated by later developments in psychol-ogy and evolutionary biology--may represent the last and most important stage in the rediscovery of an extraordinary life.

Sexed Up: How Society Sexualizes Us, and How We Can Fight Back
by Julia SeranoThe author of landmark manifesto Whipping Girl exposes the violent ways we are all sexualized–then offers a bold path for resistance Feminists have long challenged the ways in which men tend to sexualize women. But pioneering activist, biologist, and trans woman Julia Serano argues that sexualization is a far more pervasive problem, as it&’s something that we all do to other people, often without being aware of it. Why do we perceive men as sexual predators and women as sexual objects? Why are LGBTQ+ people stereotyped as being sexually indiscriminate and deceptive? Why are people of color still being hypersexualized? These stereotypes push minorities farther into the margins, and even the privileged are policed from transgressing, lest they also become targets. Many view sexualization as a mere component of sexism, racism, or queerphobia, but Serano argues that liberation from sexual violence comes through collectively confronting sexualization itself.
Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality
by Anne Fausto-SterlingWhy do some people prefer heterosexual love while others fancy the same sex? Is sexual identity biologically determined or a product of convention? In this brilliant and provocative book, the acclaimed author of Myths of Gender argues that even the most fundamental knowledge about sex is shaped by the culture in which scientific knowledge is produced. Drawing on astonishing real-life cases and a probing analysis of centuries of scientific research, Fausto-Sterling demonstrates how scientists have historically politicized the body. In lively and impassioned prose, she breaks down three key dualisms - sex/gender, nature/nurture, and real/constructed - and asserts that individuals born as mixtures of male and female exist as one of five natural human variants and, as such, should not be forced to compromise their differences to fit a flawed societal definition of normality.
Sexistence
by Jean-Luc NancySex, more than just a part of our experience, troubles our conceptions of existence. Drawing on a fascinating array of sources, ancient and modern, philosophical and literary, Jean-Luc Nancy explores and upholds the form-giving thrust of the drive. Nancy reminds us that we are more comfortable with the drama of prohibitions, ideals, repression, transgression, and destruction, which often hamper thinking about sex and gender, than with the affirmation of an originary trouble at the limits of language that divides being and opens the world.Sexistence develops a new philosophical account of sexuality that resonates with contemporary research on gender and biopolitics. Without attempting to be comprehensive, the book ranges from the ancient world through psychoanalysis to discover the turbulence of the drive at the heart of existence.
Sexografías
by Gabriela WienerEdición ampliada de las crónicas sexuales de Gabriela Wiener, un recorrido temerario y trepidante por el lado más salvaje del periodismo narrativo, con prólogo de Camila Sosa Villada. «Gabriela Wiener es una fuerza de la naturaleza y así escribe: un terremoto sobre nuestros tabúes y prejuicios. Este es un libro inteligente y delicioso».María Fernanda Ampuero «Gracias a Belcebú por la mano atrevida de Gabriela Wiener y por su libro, que desorienta a cualquiera que cree sabérselas todas sobre sexo. [...] Este libro es una criatura con sus propios caprichos, que conoce bien el camino al éxtasis, que entristece y desboca como cualquiera de nosotros. Una Wiener que se queda sobre nuestro pecho derramando preguntas mortales como un veneno. La incógnita sobre el sexo, sobre su estrategia para sobrevivir, renovarse y asegurar su perpetuidad. Cuán lejos podemos llegar para sentir algo, qué tan abajo, qué tan arriba y dónde se refugia nuestro placer. A pesar de haber sido escrito durante las últimas dos décadas, Sexografías me hizo pensar en lo necesario que es el sexo para nuestra cultura. Lo tengamos o no, lo deseemos o no. [...] ¿Que si me calenté al leer Sexografías? Sí. ¿Leyendo crónicas periodísticas? Sí. [...] Este libro no pide piedad, pero exige que no mezquinemos cuerpo como lectores. Si la escritora vende así su alma al diablo por la palabra, por qué nosotros no responder con la misma entrega».Del prólogo de Camila Sosa Villada Reseñas:«Gabriela Wiener es un fenómeno de la naturaleza que es un fenómeno de la literatura que es un fenómeno en sentido lato. Una vez, siendo jefa de redacción de un diario español, leí Sexografías y la llamé por teléfono. La llamé un minuto después de cerrar el libro, urgentemente. Cuando la tuve delante, reconocí a la jefa de la tribu. Otra vez leí Sexografías y abandoné el periodismo durante mucho tiempo. Hoy leo Sexografías y confirmo aquellas sospechas: es posible anudar creación, periodismo, compromiso y humor. Ella lo hace aquí. Gabriela Wiener existe».Cristina Fallarás «Gabriela Wiener se pasea por los mundos del sexo como una antropóloga curiosa que visita un planeta de alienígenas: observadora, detallista, divertida, aguda y atinada traductora del disparate de la vida».Rosa Montero «Este libro me cambió la vida y me la vuelve a cambiar cada vez que lo releo. En Sexografías, el sexo es un camino sutil que Wiener toma para armar una voz y dibujar una teoría implícita y profunda sobre el mundo y el sentido de experimentarlo, vivirlo y conquistarlo».Tamara Tenenbaum «Tan deliciosamente escrito como excitante y riguroso: libro de culto para el cuerpo, el deseo, el goce y el fin de los traumas. Leer Sexografías es disfrutar de una escritora exquisita yferoz».Cristian Alarcón «La nueva edición de este clásico contemporáneo multiplica su interés original gracias a la calidad y el jugo de sus renovaciones. Sexografías se nos presenta más ágil y valeroso que nunca».Elisa Victoria

Sexploitation: Helping Kids Develop Healthy Sexuality in a Porn-Driven World
by Cindy PierceAs surprising as it may be to parents, young people today are immersed in porn culture everywhere they look. Through Internet porn, gaming, social media, and advertising, kids today have a much broader view of social and sexual possibilities, which makes it difficult for them to establish appropriate expectations or to feel adequate in their own sexuality. Parents tend to convince themselves that their children are immune to cultural influences, wait until it comes up, or hope schools and pediatricians will address the issues. Educators and doctors may be able to start the conversation but it is fundamentally a parent's job to provide information about sex and relationships early and often to help young people find their way through their social and sexual lives. Delaying the necessary but awkward conversations with their kids leaves them vulnerable. The media, marketers, and porn and gaming industries are eager to step in anywhere parents choose to hold back. Sexploitation exposes the truth to parents, kids, educators, and the medical profession about the seen and unseen influences affecting children, inspiring parents to take the role as the primary sexuality educator. With more information, parents will gain conviction to discuss and develop values, expectations, boundaries, and rules with their kids. Kids who enter their teens with accurate information and truths stand a better chance of developing an "inner compass" when it comes to sex and relationships, which sets them up for a healthy adulthood. In her comic and straightforward style, Pierce brings together the latest research with anecdotal stories shared with her by high school and college students in the thick of it. Above all else, her goal is to get people to develop more comfort around those difficult conversations so that kids gain more confidence and courage about drawing boundaries based on their own values not those put upon them.

Sextuplets: Study of a Sibling Group
by Linda Root Fortini'This unique and fascinating book carefully traces aspects of the personality of sextuplets which persist from birth onwards. The way in which the personal characteristics of both the mother and her children influence the quality of maternal care and relationships with peers is also carefully compared and delineated.

Sexual Abuse and the Culture of Catholicism: How Priests and Nuns Become Perpetrators
by Myra L HidalgoAn inside look at the reasons Catholic priests and nuns commit sexual abuseSexual Abuse and the Culture of Catholicism digs beneath the public scandals to explore the underlying causes of sexual abuse by priests and nuns from the unique perspective of an abuse victim/survivor who is an experienced mental health practitioner and social science researcher. This powerful book includes the author’s personal account of sexual abuse by a nun and her years of struggle to recover. Passionate but scholarly and objective, the book advocates the need for healing dialogue, empirical research, and informed prevention strategies to bring a meaningful resolution to the crisis of sexual abuse in the church.Popular explanations for the reasons behind the crisis have included issues related to celibacy, homosexuality, the power structure of the church, and poor seminary screening practices. But none of these theories are supported by research nor can they explain why Catholic priests and nuns may be more likely to abuse children that other adults in positions of trust. Sexual Abuse and the Culture of Catholicism uses a complex, systemic approach to draw parallels between the church as a human system and a family that has experienced incest, presenting a model for a sexual trauma cycle in the church based on systemic sexual shame passed down through the beliefs and practices of Catholicism. Sexual Abuse and the Culture of Catholicism examines: the prevalence and characteristics of sexual abuse by Catholic priests and nuns compared to sex offenders in the general population celibacy, homosexuality, and the power structure of the church as contributing factors in the sexual abuse crisis an analogy of the church as a family in which incest occurs the effects and causes of sexual offending from one generation to the next how current research on sexual offending applies to sexual abuse by priests and nuns healing and empowerment for those affected by religious-based sexual trauma reform and renewal within the Catholic Church and much moreSexual Abuse and the Culture of Catholicism is a unique and important resource for clergy, religious order, and lay leaders in the Catholic Church and other Christian denominations; social science researchers; social workers and mental health professionals; lay and religious members of the Catholic Church; and anyone recovering from religious-based sexual trauma.
Sexual Abuse and the Sexual Offender: Common Man or Monster? (The Forensic Psychotherapy Monograph Series)
by Barry MaletzkySexual Abuse and the Sexual Offender examines the myths perpetuated by the media and widely held by the public, by providing actual data, with case examples, to demonstrate how sexual offending occurs, who commits these acts, what might cause such crimes, how sexual offenders are assessed, supervised and treated, and how to prevent such offending from occurring to the reader or to members of her or his own family. This book is not a textbook on how to assess or treat sexual offenders for a clinical audience. Rather, it aims to educate the general public about how experts in this field diagnose, analyze, assess and treat such offenders and what steps they may take to prevent such abuse in the future. It describes, with actual case examples, how we recognize a variety of offenders, how to separate them and assess their risk, and how to avoid becoming prey to them.

Sexual Abuse in the Lives of Women Diagnosed withSerious Mental Illness (New Directions In Therapeutic Intervention Ser.)
by Maxine Harris Christine L. LandisAlthough a substantial amount of media and professional attention has been devoted to the incidence of sexual abuse in the population at large, the plight of those who have suffered abuse and are seriously mentally ill has largely been ignored. Adding to the existing literature on trauma, this book exposes the prevalence of physical and emotional abuse among severely mentally ill patients, and includes case studies that reveal its tragic and devastating impact. Offering chapters on theory and assessment of abused women, this book explores services that are available to them, discusses treatment (including inpatient and cognitive-behavioral approaches), and addresses recommendations for the improvement of both policy and research.
