lt;p>The book seeks to answer questions that emerge when human sexuality leaves the medical/sexological context and gets into the focus of social sciences. It provides an insight into a geopolitical region (Slovakia) where, for ideological reasons, research on sexuality was impossible for decades. The most provoking questions in the book are: What was the price human sexuality has had to pay for the attention received from scientific medicine since the 19th century? What is the current transmutation of intimacy about? Why do we need to talk about healthy sex and not only about sexual health? What do we know about, and what can we learn from, the boundary between wanted and unwanted sex? Do we need new norms for sexuality? Why is sexuality so important in politics?

Gabriel Bianchi (b. 1955) is a social psychologist active in non-medical research on sexuality, gender, reproduction and partnerhood within a broad context of democracy and politics, with almost 30 years of regional and international experience. His substantial contribution is in applying qualitative, discursive and mixed research design.
