Book excerpt: All’s fair in love and movies… Laura Baker has returned from Byron Bay ready to declare her feelings for Lucas. But, slight problem; he’s back together with his ex-girlfriend, and so clearly not in love with her. But it’s fine. Laura knows she can just be friends with him. It can’t be that hard to fall out of love with someone, can it? Luckily, she has a new career to distract herself, working on the feature film Trigger. But Laura’s high expectations of working on a glamorous movie set are quickly shattered by the realities of her new job; not only is she promoted to Locations Manager on her first day (with no training), she quickly realises that this project is far lower-budget than she thought. Between out-running park rangers and dealing with Shouty Sex Man from over the fence, Laura’s in for one hell of a time. But working on the set of Trigger introduces Laura to more new ideas than film terminology, and Laura begins to wonder why she’s always felt heterosexual. Could the secret to getting over Lucas be found amongst the pansexual crew members and their intriguing philosophies? With time running out to resolve her feelings for Lucas and a possible new job luring her away, Laura has some tough decisions to make. Can she gain what she needs to be happy and forge a new career at the same time? From the sexy cameramen and vibrant director to an old flame that won't stop burning, get ready for the third instalment of the Laura the Explorer series.

Download or read book Blind to Sameness written by Asia Friedman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the role of the senses in how we understand the world? Cognitive sociology has long addressed the way we perceive or imagine boundaries in our ordinary lives, but Asia Friedman pushes this question further still. How, she asks, did we come to blind ourselves to sex sameness? Drawing on more than sixty interviews with two decidedly different populations—the blind and the transgendered—Blind to Sameness answers provocative questions about the relationships between sex differences, biology, and visual perception. Both groups speak from unique perspectives that magnify the social construction of dominant visual conceptions of sex, allowing Friedman to examine the visual construction of the sexed body and highlighting the processes of social perception underlying our everyday experience of male and female bodies. The result is a notable contribution to the sociologies of gender, culture, and cognition that will revolutionize the way we think about sex.

Download or read book Sex Jesus and the Conversations the Church Forgot written by Mo Isom and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex. In a world overwhelmingly obsessed with it, why is the church so silent about it? While our secular culture twists, perverts, cheapens, and idolizes sex, there are gaping holes in the church's guidance of young people. The result is generations of sexually illiterate people drowning in the repercussions of overwhelming sin struggles. Enough is enough, says Mo Isom. With raw vulnerability and a bold spirit, she shares her own sexual testimony, opening up the conversation about misguided rule-following, virginity, temptation, porn, promiscuity, false sex-pectations, sex in marriage, and more and calling readers back to God's original design for sex--a way to worship and glorify him. This book is for the young person tangled up in an addiction to pornography, for the girlfriend feeling pressured to go further, for the "good girl" who followed the rules and saved herself for marriage and then was confused and disappointed, for the married couple who use sex as a bargaining tool, for every person who casually watches sex play out in TV and movies and wonders why they're dissatisfied with the real thing, and for every confused or hurting person in-between. Sex was God's idea. It's time we invited him back into the bedroom.

Download or read book Breaking Through written by Helen Alvare and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catholic women are some of the most maligned, most caricatured, and most intriguing people in American society. America is flirting with the idea that being a Catholic female means saying "yes" to the faith as a private source of comfort, but "no" to living out its more countercultural moral and social teachings. Catholic women are facing unprecedented questions about sex, money, marriage, work, children and the church itself -- questions with innumerable personal and societal repercussions. Is it even possible that the teachings of a 2,000 year old religion are still relevant for today's toughest issues? A quick tour of leading cultural indicators seems to say "no." But this is far from the whole story. Many women, courageously facing questions their mothers and grandmothers would never have encountered, are finding intellectually and spiritually satisfying answers within the framework of their Catholic faith. Nine such Catholic women -- varying widely in age, occupation and experience -- share personal stories of how they struggled toward the realization that the demands of their faith actually set them free. Their stories -- full of honesty, but ultimately hope -- shed new light and new clarity on women's continued attraction to the Catholic faith. Topics include: Navigating dating and sexpectations Feminism, freedom and contraception Children versus a "better me" Being Catholic in light of the sexual abuse scandal Faith, psychology and same-sex attraction
