What can psychology teach us about sex? How do different bodies and minds respond sexually? How can we prevent people from being stigmatized for their sexuality? "The Psychology of Sex" takes you through the different ways psychologists have created and validated particular concepts of sex and sexuality, taking into account the subjective nature of sex. The book explores cultural preoccupations with sexuality, pornography, and sex addiction, while drawing on research from sex communities and the applied field of sex therapy. Since so much of our relationship with sex occurs in the mind, "The Psychology of Sex" demonstrates how important it is to understand where our ideas about sex come from.
