Insanely readable! I loved it Slavoj iekA delightfully thoughtprovoking study of why we have sex, from awardwinning psychoanalyst Darian LeaderIt was just sexIts a familiar claim. But its also an impossibility, as Darian Leader shows in this delightfully thoughtprovoking study.Our bodies arent just sticks that make fire when you rub them together, and our minds dont simply stand by as we can see from the pain, heartache and regret that so often accompany the highs of sexual excitement.As acclaimed psychoanalyst Darian Leader argues, with his trademark clarity, energy and wit, sex is always about so much more than itself its about phantasy, anxiety, guilt, revenge, violence, love. Drawing on his long analytic experience, historical research and case studies to explore their importance to every aspect of our sexual lives, Leader brilliantly reveals what we are really thinking about when we think about sex and what we are really doing when we do it.A thoroughly engaging and everilluminating read iNewsOne of our most important contemporary thinkers GuardianLeader is as much a philosopher as a psychoanalyst and his ideas are engrossing and enlightening Metro
