THE POWER OF SEX is an entertaining and often startling book that clearly explains why sex, genders, and sexualities—once so relatively simple—are now more complicated and problematic than ever. We may still be male or female but we are also increasingly intersex, transitioning, transgender, transsexual, she-males, or ambisexual; we may still be heterosexual or homosexual, but we are also increasingly bisexual, asexual, egosexual, polysexual, or pansexual, with paraphilias abounding. Sex, in short, is a maze, minefield and muddle, with the old 2-by-2 model of male/female, gay/straight all but gone from our personal lives, laws, norms, mores and the mass media.While detailing the revolutionary transformation of our sexual identities and behaviors—including the dizzying array of forms sexual pleasure now comes in—THE POWER OF SEX clearly elucidates why almost everything to do with the genitals and sex is problematic and hotly debated today: marriage, prostitution, pornography, nudity, homosexuality, masturbation, contraception, abortion, paraphilias, circumcision, divorce, clitoridectomies genital cosmetic surgeries, sexual identity—even what constitutes sex—to name only a few topics of controversy related to sex.Through revelatory chapters on the penis, vagina, clitoris, breasts, nipples, anus, buttocks, feet, and other erogenous zones, THE POWER OF SEX provides a deep understanding of sex and our bodies that liberates us from old ways of thinking and allows us to relate more fully and openly to ourselves and others—so that we can reap more pleasure from our sexual lives.“Anthony Synnott has done it again.

In The Power of Sex, Synnott covers big ground—the politics of sex, cultural norms, sexual orientation, taboos and the future of sex. In fact, he tells us pretty much everything
