Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. Mainstream science - as well as religious and cultural institutions - has maintained that men and women evolved in families in which a man's possessions and protection were exchanged for a woman's fertility and fidelity. But this narrative is collapsing....

In this electrifying sequel to the landmark bestseller, Gillian Anderson invites us to leave shame and fear at the door as she dials up the heat on women's sexual fantasies and dares us to want more. This collection of intimate letters – submitted by anonymous women across the globe, curated and introduced by Gillian – dives deeper into what women everywhere think, feel and dream about in their most private moments. Spilling out of the bedroom, the letters take us to all spaces where desire resides, from the school gates to office boardrooms, kitchen counters to forest floors.

Too many popular histories seek to establish heroes, pioneers and martyrs but as Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller argue, the past is filled with queer people whose sexualities and/or dastardly deeds have been overlooked. We all remember Oscar Wilde, but who speaks for Bosie? What about those 'bad gays' whose un-exemplary lives reveals more than we might expect? Part-revisionist history, part-historical biography and based on the hugely popular podcast series, Bad Gays subverts the notion of gay icons and queer heroes.

Sexual fantasies. Everyone has them, but no one knows what they mean. People are curious about and often confused by the things that arouse them, yet they are often too ashamed to reveal their most private fantasies to their partners or even their therapists. In this fascinating and provocative book, Dr. Michael J. Bader offers a groundbreaking new theory of sexual desire, one that will liberate men and women and enable them to better understand their sexual preferences.

The question of exactly what sex differences exist and whether they have a biological foundation has been one of our culture's favorite enduring discussions. It should. After a baby is born, a parent's first concern is for its physical health. The next concern is its sex. Only in the most modern societies does sex not virtually guarantee the type of future life a new human being will have. Even in modern societies, one's sex usually plays a large role in the path a life follows.

A full one-fifth of the United States has engaged in consensual non-monogamy (CNM) at some point in their lives, and 29 percent of adults under 30 today consider open relationships to be morally acceptable—yet there are few resources to turn to when it comes to navigating this more non-traditional and explorative territory.

David Schnarch, Pionier der Sexualtherapie, verneint die Frage vehement und entfaltet hier seine in zahllosen Paartherapien beobachteten neuen Erkenntnisse: Sexuelles Verlangen entsteht im Kopf und hängt mit allen Verhaltensmustern in einer Beziehung zusammen. Mehr über unsere Sexualität zu wissen bedeutet, die Dinge ändern zu können: Mehr Nähe, tieferes Empfinden und eine erfüllende Sexualität sind möglich.

Across the developed world, birth rates are collapsing, families are shrinking, and entire societies are aging into silence. This is not a temporary crisis, nor an economic anomaly. It is something deeper, quieter, and far more unsettling. In “The Unborne World”, Isaac Volpe delivers a powerful and unflinching analysis of the demographic, cultural, and psychological forces behind the greatest transformation of our time: a civilization that is slowly choosing not to reproduce itself.
