A portrait of sex and sexuality in today’s society and culture. While discussing all things sexual, from orgasms and fantasies to pornography and prostitution, Sallie Tisdale outlines her personal philosophy of the role sex plays in human life. Drawing on the author’s interviews with prostitutes and transsexuals, research into the British Library’s pornography collection, trips to peep shows and sex shops Sallie Tisdale grounds her academic research with her personal experiences and feelings.
