Convencida, tras haber seguido a cientos de parejas (heterosexuales, homosexuales, con o sin hijos y de todas las edades), de que no hay fatalidad en el declive del deseo amoroso, Esther Perel nos ofrece aquí un revolucionario análisis de este fenómeno.

Story16
In this brilliantly original book, Camille Paglia identifies some of the major patterns that have endured in western culture from ancient Egypt and Greece to the present. According to Paglia, one source of continuity is paganism, which, undefeated by Judeo-Christianity, continues to flourish in art, eroticism, astrology, and pop culture. Others, she says, are androgyny, sadism, and the aggressive western eye, which has created our art and cinema.

This is the better-than-ever sequel to My Secret Garden, the first time in print that American women told their most honest sexual fantasies without apology or shame. Daring, explicit, and straight from the heart, Nancy Friday got thousands of women to tell her what they'd never confided to their best friends, lovers, or husbands - every secret that women didn't know they could say out loud.

Women who feared their erotic fantasies called it scandalous. Women who recognized their own fantasies in its pages, rejoiced. Outspoken, graphic, vulnerable and shameless, My Secret Garden is a classic study of female sexuality.

Two decades ago, this book (and its companion volume, The New Bottoming Book) began teaching tens of thousands of people the joyous arts of BDSM topping and bottoming - not just "how-to," but "why-to"...the insider details of emotional support and ethical interaction during kinky play. Since then, the growing popularity of BDSM, and the blossoming of the Internet as a source of information and connection, have created a whole new universe of possibilities for players.
