This Thing We Call Sex — A Radically Sensible Look at Sex in America by David Steinberg

$26.95 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Sex & Sexuality

In this long-anticipated collection, columnist, photographer, critic, and sexual explorer David Steinberg has gathered the best of his essays, anecdotes, and photographs into a uniquely insightful, engaging overview of sex in America. For 25 years, Steinberg has documented the American sexual landscape from teenage sexuality to Viagra, swingers' parties to erotic spirituality, lap dancing to women's sexual liberation, fine art sexual photography to pornography, homophobia to BDSM. He calls on readers to question their sexual assumptions and fears, and to embrace sex as an opportunity for intimacy, self-understanding, and psychic adventure. Rejecting sensationalized rhetoric rooted in shame and fear, Steinberg offers an emotionally grounded understanding of a topic that is endlessly debated but rarely approached with depth and calm awareness. Whimsical, philosophical, unapologetically political, and revealingly personal, This Thing We Call Sex will take you into sexual worlds that include Marco Vassi, the Marquis de Sade, 19th-century feminist Victoria Woodhull, erotic photographer Jan Saudek, and porn producer Kink.com, exploring the spectrum of human sexuality with an unflinching eye, a compassionate heart, and a keen mind. After reading this book, you will find yourself doing the same.   ...Show more

Thrust - A History of the Codpiece in Art by Michael Glover

$19.99 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: History | Series: Ekphrasis Ser.

The codpiece was fashioned in the Middle Ages to close a revealing gap between two separate pieces of men's tights. By the sixteenth century, it had become an upscale must-have accessory. This lighthearted, illustrated examination of its history pulls in writers from Rabelais to Shakespeare and figures from Henry VIII to Alice Cooper. Glover's witty and entertaining prose reveals how male vanity turned a piece of cloth into a bulging and absurd representation of masculinity itself. The codpiece, painted again and again by masters such as Titian, Holbein, Giorgione, and Bruegel, became a symbol of royalty, debauchery, virility, and religious seriousness--all in one. Centuries of male self-importance and delusion are on display in this highly enjoyably new title. Glover's book moves from paintings to contemporary culture and back again as it charts the growing popularity of the codpiece and its eventual decline. The first history of its kind, this book is a must-read for art historians, anthropologists, fashion aficionados, and readers looking for a good, long laugh. A laugh-out-loud visual history of the strangest piece of men's clothing ever created: the codpiece. ...Show more

Turned On - Science, Sex and Robots by Kate Devlin

$29.99 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Sex & Sexuality

The idea of the seductive sex robot is the stuff of myth, legend and science fiction. From the ancient Greeks to twenty-first century movies, robots in human form have captured our imagination, our hopes and our fears. But beyond the fantasies there are real and fundamental questions about our relations hip with technology as it moves into the realm of robotics. Should we form intimate relationships with machines' Should robots be provided with a sexuality' How will it affect our everyday lives' Can we use them for therapy' Do they breach our laws on obscenity' Could they ever feel love' Sexual activity is central to our very existence; it shapes how we think, how we act and how we live. It is deeply embedded in our society. With advances in technology come machines that may one day think independently. What will happen to us when we form close relationships with these intelligent systems' What, ultimately, does it means to be human in a future of machines' Sex robots are here, and here to stay, and more are coming. This book explores how the emerging and future development of sexual companion robots might affect us, and the society in which we live. It explores the social changes arising from emerging technologies, and our relationships with the machines that may someday care for us and about us. Chapter by chapter, this book will build on the science and the philosophy surrounding our most intimate relationship with technology. The scene is set with the history of the artificial sexual companion, then goes on to explore the modern ' robot and the twentieth century sci-fi that promised us our own robot slaves. This is followed by an explanation of artificial intelligence and the urge to create sentient machines. It delves into our own psychology- how does desire affect our own behaviour, and can we become attached to an inanimate object' This then leads to a discussion of the good (robots making society a better place) and the bad (the potential for all to go wrong). ...Show more

Men are biologically programmed to want sex with lots of different women, whereas women are designed to stay true to one person, right?Wrong.In Untrue, New York Times-bestselling author Wednesday Martin reveals that we are just at the beginning of understanding women?s sexuality properly. From New York to Namibia to a conference of sex researchers in Montreal, she takes us on a journey to understand women who refuse monogamy, posing questions about why we became sexually exclusive in the first place.Martin attends all-female sex parties where married straight women fulfill their fantasies; considers contemporary societies where women take many lovers; analyses how the invention of the plough suppressed female autonomy; and presents fascinating research about why women stray (their motivations are not so different from men?s).Frank and myth busting, Untruevalidates the desires of women everywhere, including the 'silent majority? in committed relationships who struggle with staying faithful. ...Show more

What IS Sex? by Alenka Zupančič

$49.99 AUD

Category: Sex & Sexuality | Series: Short Circuits Ser.

Why sexuality is at the point of a "short circuit" between ontology and epistemology. Consider sublimation--conventionally understood as a substitute satisfaction for missing sexual satisfaction. But what if, as Lacan claims, we can get exactly the same satisfaction that we get from sex from talking (or writing, painting, praying, or other activities)? The point is not to explain the satisfaction from talking by pointing to its sexual origin, but that the satisfaction from talking is itself sexual. The satisfaction from talking contains a key to sexual satisfaction (and not the other way around)--even a key to sexuality itself and its inherent contradictions. The Lacanian perspective would make the answer to the simple-seeming question, "What is sex?" rather more complex. In this volume in the Short Circuits series, Alenka Zupancic approaches the question from just this perspective, considering sexuality a properly philosophical problem for psychoanalysis; and by psychoanalysis, she means that of Freud and Lacan, not that of the kind of clinician practitioners called by Lacan "orthopedists of the unconscious." Zupancic argues that sexuality is at the point of a "short circuit" between ontology and epistemology. Sexuality and knowledge are structured around a fundamental negativity, which unites them at the point of the unconscious. The unconscious (as linked to sexuality) is the concept of an inherent link between being and knowledge in their very negativity. of Freud and Lacan, not that of the kind of clinician practitioners called by Lacan "orthopedists of the unconscious."
