BOOK DESCRIPTION
This is the first factual, detailed account of today's American Groupsex practices as reported live on tape, by the participants themselves in their own uninhibited words. Here, insiders tell the real story of the most revolutionary challenge ever to confront marriage ethics.
Married couples, divorcees, and other “singles,” including teenagers, not only reveal graphically what they do at “swinger” gatherings, but how they feel about Groupsex; how they separate sex from love; how it affects their marriages, their emotions, and the non-sexual (“straight”) phases of their lives.The reader gets a ringside seat at the unfolding of a new subculture: housewives tell what it's like to engage in sexual activities with literally dozens of men in one weekend; adolescent children tell how they feel about their parents' swinging habits; veteran swingers list the do's and don'ts of Groupsex etiquette, their favorite swinging techniques, and their methods of prolonging sexual pleasure.Citing the research of every scientific authority who has studied Groupsex, the authors conclude that the phenomenon is growing and certain to affect sexual mores generally. They estimate that 2½ million Americans swing. The 628 swingers whom they interviewed lived all across the country, and 93 percent were upper-middle-class whites, the very group that sets national trends.Among the 98 swingers whom the authors selected for depth interviews that averaged 3½ hours are: a young Los Angeles attorney (an Ivy League Law School) and his wife; a Midwestern psychiatrist who teaches at a medical school and has been swinging with his wife for ten years; and a surgeon who is a widower and seeks a new wife among his female swinging companions.In his foreword, Martin E. Grotjahn, M.D., clinical professor of psychoanalysis at the University of Southern California and author of numerous scientific books and articles, says: “This is an important book and a significant, original contribution to man's knowledge of sex... Some of the taped interviews will, I think, become classics.”

BOOK DESCRIPTION
From fur coats to nude paintings, and from sports to beauty contests, the body has been central to the literal and figurative fashioning of ourselves as individuals and as a nation. In this first collection on the history of the body in Canada, an interdisciplinary group of scholars explores the multiple ways the body has served as a site of contestation in Canadian history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Showcasing a variety of methodological approaches, Contesting Bodies and Nation in Canadian History includes essays on many themes that engage with the larger historical relationship between the body and nation: medicine and health, fashion and consumer culture, citizenship and work, and more. The contributors reflect on the intersections of bodies with the concept of nationhood, as well as how understandings of the body are historically contingent. The volume is capped off with a critical introductory chapter by the editors on the history of bodies and the development of the body as a category of analysis.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
From Adam, Eve, and the Serpent to financier Warren Buffett, Susie Buffett, and Astrid Menks, the menage a trois has long been part of he landscape of human love. Explored in literature and flirted with in films, this lovestyle is taboo for some and the private daydream of countless others. But the menage has also been the daily, loving reality of a remarkable number of people throughout history and in modern times as well.
Barbara Foster, Michael Foster, and Letha Hadady are writers and scholars who themselves are involved in an ongoing, loving partnership and are thus remarkably well suited as commentators on this unconventional lifestyle. In this book based on extensive research, they trace the menage a trois over the centuries—both in real life and as portrayed in art—and offer a deft and compelling portrait of three-fold love. In addition, hey reveal the truth about the world's best-known trios, from biblical patriarch Abraham, his wife Sarah, and he handmaiden Hagar to Henry and June Miller and Anaïs Nin and even Beat writer Jack Kerouac and Neal and Carolyn Cassady.
The authors differentiate clearly between a love triangle and a menage a trois: the "bloody" triangle generally springs out of an affair or adultery, and one of the three is excluded. In a menage on the other hand, all three participants have equal status and input, and, most important, the relationship is entered into by mutual decision and consent.
Fascinating reading for anyone interested in human sexuality, sexual ethics, or the future of fundamental relationships, Three in Love makes an intelligent and solid case for the menage a trois as an alternative to the standard two-person partnership ad answers the current cry for "family values" with a wide reworking of the traditional family unit.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Molly Roden Winter was a mother of small children with a husband, Stewart, who often worked late. One night when Stewart missed the kids’ bedtime—again—she stormed out of the house to clear her head. At a bar, she met Matt, a flirtatious younger man. When Molly told her husband that Matt had asked her out, she was surprised that Stewart encouraged her to accept.
So began Molly’s unexpected open marriage and, with it, a life-changing journey of self-discovery. Molly signs up for dating sites, enters into passionate flings, and has sex in hotels and public places around New York City. For Molly it’s a mystery why she wants what she wants. In therapy sessions, fueled by the discovery that her parents had an open marriage, too, she grapples with her past and what it means to be a mother and a whole person.
Molly and Stewart, who also begins to see other people, set ground rules: Don’t date an ex. Don’t date someone in the neighborhood. Don’t go to anyone’s home. And above all, don’t fall in love. In the years that follow, they break most of their rules, even the most important one. They grapple with jealousy, insecurity, and doubts, all the while wondering: Can they love others and stay true to their love for each other? Can they make the impossible work?
More is an electric debut that offers both steamy fun and poignant reflections on motherhood, daughterhood, marriage, and self-fulfillment. With warmth, humor, and style, Molly Roden Winter delivers an unputdownable journey of a woman becoming her most authentic self.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
From South Park to Kathy Acker, and from Lars Von Trier to Sex and the City, women's sexual organs are demonized. Emma L. E. Rees traces the fascinating evolution of this demonization, considering how calling the 'c-word' obsene both legitimizes and perpetuates the fractured identities of woman globally. The Vagina: A Literary and Cultural History demonstrates how writers, artists and film-makers contend with the dilemma of the vagina's puzzlingly 'covert visibility'.
In our postmodern, porn-obessed culture, vaginas appear to be everywhere. literally or symbolically but, crucially, they are as silenced as they are objectified. The Vagina examines the paradox of female genitalia through the fields of artistic expression: literature, film, TV, visual art and performance art.
What happens when the female body refuses to be pathologized, eroticized, or rendered subordinate to the will or intention of another? Common, and often offensive, slang terms for the vagina can be seen as an attempt to divert attaction away from the reality of women's lived sexual experiences so that we don't 'look' at the vagina itself - slang offers a convenient distraction from something so taboo. The Vagina: A Literary and Cultural History is an important contribution to the ongoing debate in understanding women's identities.
