This book is a brief reconnaissance of certain frontiers in our understanding of sex and the relation of the sexes. The scope of inquiry includes both the biology of desire and its distortion by psychological repressions and cultural taboos. The author presents new interpretations of sexual rhythms, menstrual restrictions, the female orgasm, sex and spirit- possession, and the Freudian theory of sublimation and culture. Contents: Acknowledgements; Introduction; The Concealment of Fertility; Rhythms of Female Libido; Menstruation, Castration Anxiety, and Vagina Envy; The Myth of the Insatiable Woman; The Function of the Orgasm; Eros, Sublimation and Culture; References Cited; Index.
