Rules about sexuality, written and unwritten, have existed in every culture as have disagreements over what is and isn't acceptable. Must morally permissible sex have only one function? Must it be heterosexual? Must it occur within the confines of the institution of marriage? Must it be accompanied by requisite emotions such as love and intimacy?
Mindfulness will make sex better, more exciting, and more fulfilling. Good Sex shows you how. Jessica Graham is passionate about two things: sex and meditation. In Good Sex: Getting Off Without Checking Out, she shares explicit and frank personal stories, non-"woo-woo" spiritual teachings, and simple secular mindfulness practices that will make sex better, more exciting, and more fulfilling. If you don't yet have a meditation practice, Good Sex will give you a highly accessible tool kit to get one started. You'll also learn to easily apply the mindfulness techniques to your sex life, whether you are single, polyamorous, in a long term monogamous partnership, or in any other kind of sexual relationship. Jessica's confessional biographical style of writing allows the reader to get a taste of how much meditation changed not just her sex life, but her whole life. Good Sex is also an invitation to go down the rabbit hole of spiritual awakening via sexuality. Good Sex is fun, dirty, gentle, transcendent, simple, exciting, and transformative. It comes from a down-to-earth and inclusive perspective, borrowing from Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity, but is easily accessible to the secular community and those with no spiritual or meditation background. Good Sex invites you to be fully present for every single sweet drop of pleasure. Good Sex is an adventure. No matter what sexual challenges you are facing, Good Sex can help you grow, heal, and awaken.

What if it's not your fault that sex is bad in your marriage? Based on a groundbreaking in-depth survey of 22,000 Christian women, The Great Sex Rescue unlocks the secrets to what makes some marriages red hot while others fizzle out. Generations of women have grown up with messages about sex that make them feel dirty, used, or invisible, while men have been sold such a cheapened version of sex, they don't know what they're missing. The Great Sex Rescue hopes to turn all of that around, developing a truly biblical view of sex where mutuality, intimacy, and passion reign. The Great Sex Rescue pulls back the curtain on what is happening in Christian bedrooms and exposes the problematic teachings that wreck sex for so many couples--and the good teachings that leave others breathless. In the #metoo and #churchtoo era, not only is this book a long overdue corrective to church culture, it is poised to free thousands of couples from repressive and dissatisfying sex lives so that they can experience the kind of intimacy and wholeness God intended.
A sex therapist and neuroscientist describes anhedonia, the inability to feel a satisfactory amount of pleasure--and provides the pathway back to fully enjoying sex, food, time with family and friends, and other pastimes, while also staving off depression, anxiety, and addiction.
This title offers a scathing view of sex manuals for children and society's hypocrisy of over sex that argues for the rights of children to their own bodies and their own sexuality. Written in the wake of May 1968 and Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus, Tony Duvert's Good Sex Illustrated (Le bon sexe illustre) was part of the miraculous moment when sexuality could turn the world upside down and reveal social hypocrisy for what it was. Bitterly funny and unabashedly anarchistic, Good Sex Illustrated openly declares war on mothers, family, psychoanalysis, morality, and the entire social construct, through a close reading of sex manuals for children. Published in 1973, one year after Duvert won the prestigious Prix Medicis, it proved that accolades had not tempered his scathing wit or his approach to such taboo topics as pedophilia. This translation, by award-winning author Bruce Benderson, will belatedly introduce English-speaking audiences to the most infamous gay writer from France since Jean Genet first hit the scene in the 1940s.
