Candles, music, flowers, and wine-these we all know are the stuff of romance, of sex, and of love. ~ Chapter One

Sacred Pleasure explores the past, present, and potential future of sex. It looks at both sex and the sacred in the larger context of our cultural and biological evolution. It demsystifies much in our sexual history that has been confusing, indeed incompreshensible, shedding new light on matters still generally shoved under the rug of the religious dogma or scientific jargon. It shows that the struggle for our future is not just political in the conventional sense of the word, but revolves around fundamental issues of pain and pleasure. Above all, it helps us better understand--and thus break free of--the agonies we chronically suffer in our search for healthier and more satisfying ways of living and loving.

Fascinating....
