Download or read book Popcorn written by Garry Mulholland and published by Orion. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugely acclaimed author of THIS IS UNCOOL and FEAR OF MUSIC turns his attention to rock 'n' roll movies. From BLACKBOARD JUNGLE to QUADROPHENIA, from 8 MILE to ABBA: THE MOVIE, no one has seriously looked at the strange phenomenon that is the rock 'n' roll movie. Garry Mulholland turns his focus away from classic records to the best, the worst, the weird and the completely deranged from the world of the rock movie. Part serious critical appreciation, part celebration of B-movie trash, Garry Mulholland's inclusive approach is the key to his success. He is as comfortable deconstructing the likes of PERFORMANCE, GIMME SHELTER or JUBILEE as he is celebrating FOOTLOOSE or JAILHOUSE ROCK. As he writes: '... Anyone who rejects the joy that the likes of GREASE or DIRTY DANCING or FAME have brought millions of people without even attempting to engage with why such unapologetic trash works can't really be that interested in filmgoers at all.'

Download or read book Swinging in America written by Curtis R. Bergstrand and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on an extensive survey of real people and over 40 years of research, this revealing volume proposes that a nonmonogamous lifestyle may be healthier for marriages than a monogamous one. Based on an exhaustive survey into the lives of real people, Swinging in America: Love, Sex, and Marriage in the 21st Century concludes that nonmonogamous relationships such as swinging and polyamory offer a new blueprint for combining sex and love—one that may prove more in line with the way people actually live their lives in our society. Swinging in America begins with what we know about swingers and the swinging lifestyle, based on personal narratives and over 40 years of sociological research comparing swinging and non-swinging couples on factors such as personal happiness, marital satisfaction, psychological stability, and personal values. The second half of the book explores the historical rise and contemporary decline of monocentrism—the sexually monogamous marriage as the organizing principle underlying our culture—and the implications of this decline for new nonmonogamous relationships and marriages.

Download or read book Extraordinary Sex Therapy written by Gina Ogden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we help our clients discover the depth and breadth of sexual healing? Extraordinary Sex Therapy offers a range of innovative health-based approaches and models to explore the complexities inherent in sexual pleasure and potential as well as in trauma, pain, and dysfunction. The practitioners whose work is represented here expand the clinical conversation about sex beyond performance goals and tread courageously into unquantifiable realms of sexual and relational desire, health, and transformation. All of these practitioners describe work that embodies therapeutic collaboration with their clients as they confront sexual concerns that include body image, emotions, meanings, and nuances of partner interactions along with the influence of neurobiology, language, gender, addiction, socioeconomics, and cultural conditioning about pleasure. Their interventions range from education, visualization, and role-play to identifying erotic archetypes, coaching about sensual touch, and using plant spirit medicines to activate imagination and spiritual connection. Their descriptions ring with singular authenticity, depending on their training and the particular clients and issues they address. Each practitioner provides clinical examples and techniques in enough detail so that readers can incorporate elements of these approaches into their own practices. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Sexual and Relationship Therapy.

Download or read book S EX2 written by Pere Estupinyà and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have in your hands the most rigorous, complete and readable book ever written about the fascinating science of human sexuality. This book goes beyond the well-worn sexual education advice and the usual evolutionist psychology. After The Brain Snatcher, Pere Estupinyà comes back with the first popular science book on sex aimed at a wide audience. While there are some tips for the more adventurous, there is also a wealth of new information to be discovered. Distancing himself from the many books on advice or techniques, Estupinyà brings sex to another dimension by combining popular beliefs and science. Do you want proof that our decision-making in the “heat of the moment” is less rational than we think? Did you know that mind and vagina each go their own way? Are you interested in learning about the effects of yoga on sexual pleasure? Did you know about the attempts in the 60s to “cure” homosexuals with electric shock therapy, the chemical analysis of female ejaculation, or the fundamental relationship between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system? The author has spoken directly with asexual and intersexual individuals, fetishists, multi-orgasmic women, women who never have orgasms through penetration, and men who have no refractory period. He has also participated in sadomasochistic events; learned tantric techniques with a couple of coaches, spoken with porn performers at Barcelona’s Bagdad, and attended workshops in which a woman teaches how to have orgasms with your mind and breathing. The result is an incredible miscellany of information that appeals to both the scientific community and the curious.

Download or read book Love s Refraction written by Jillian Deri and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular wisdom might suggest that jealousy is an inevitable outcome of non-monogamous relationships. In Love’s Refraction, Jillian Deri explores the distinctive question of how and why polyamorists – people who practice consensual non-monogamy – manage jealousy. Her focus is on the polyamorist concept of “compersion” – taking pleasure in a lover’s other romantic and sexual encounters. By discussing the experiences of queer, lesbian, and bisexual polyamorous women, Deri highlights the social and structural context that surrounds jealousy. Her analysis, making use of the sociology of emotion and feminist intersectionality theory, shows how polyamory challenges traditional emotional and sexual norms. Clear and concise, Love’s Refraction speaks to both the academic and the polyamorous community. Deri lets her interviewees speak for themselves, linking academic theory and personal experiences in a sophisticated, engaging, and accessible way.

Download or read book Swingers and Roundabouts written by Jane Hardy and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't judge a book by its cover! The front cover of this book shows the tattoo of the male/female symbol on Jane's thigh. Apart from a pleasant appearance, which would not have been out of place in any typical modern suburban community, there was nothing special about Jane Hardy. Fitting in perfectly to the weekly shop, she would be the first to smile at any suggestion that she was a siren or a strumpet. The very thought would be too ludicrous for words. Jane typified middle-class life, its values and its social face. Middle age or New Age—what was it to be? A wife and mother best described as a pillar of the community. How delicately balanced be thy fate. Eight quite ordinary words voiced by Jane's husband would change her life in dramatic fashion. His suggestion was to herald eight years of a life-changing series of experiences that most will view as too challenging to even contemplate. From a staid and strictly monogamous lifestyle, Jane was soon to offer herself to a succession of lovers. This homely housewife and mother would surrender herself to hundreds of men, strangers who could never be more than fleeting sexual encounters. Not only did she indulge in sex jaunts with senior male colleagues at the Civil Service department where she worked, but it was also incredulous that what followed could happen to such a down to earth woman. She and her husband had a threesome with the man who had fixed his tie in the mirror of the boudoir of one of the 20th century's most famous and beautiful woman. There were occasions when the comely mother would cross dangerous lines in which there were no taboos. With each encounter, there were untold risks and dangers. Perhaps the unknown risks were part of the sexual exhilaration. When sex is the drug, there are no barriers, no standards or principles. There is nothing left but to surrender to the basest human urges. That this is a true story is doubtless, that it happened unbelievable, and that she survived it is for the philosophical to ponder upon.
