Customer Reviews

Safe sex
This is definitely one of the best books on sex and on psychology in generaly. The author is a psychoanalyst who does not tow the Freudian line and sees sexual fantasies as ways of reaching a position of safety. I felt very assured reading the book. Highly recommended.

Insightful
I thought this book was brilliant and very insightful. It felt it was very easy to read. I read it in three or four days and I would have read it all in one sitting only that it all too often gave me so much to think about that I just had to take a break. It has been one of the best books (not just in it's catorgory) I've read in the last 5 years. I very highly recommend it.
