Book excerpt: Sex is much more rife in the workplace than many would think according to this fascinating and controversial new book. It argues that not only does sexuality pervade every aspect of organizations, but also that organization pervades every aspect of our sexuality. This two-way conceptualization lends the book a two-part structure, covering firstly the ways in which organizational behaviour is shaped through issues such as male managers' experience of violence, organizational constructions of sexual harassment, and professionals who work with sex offenders. The second part of the book examines how sex is organized for commercial purposes, and considers sex work as an industry which can be analyzed as any other, with important insights for normal organizing. Key features of the book include sections on: * organizing as sexual activity * connecting desire, the erotic, the abject and organization * the 'hidden' penetration of organization processes by sexuality * the 'dark side' of sex and organization and the importance of transgression * the double effect of discursive and material placing * organizing sexuality within prostitution * prostitution as a complex and varied industry. Fascinating and informative, this controversial book is a valuable source of information for postgraduates and researchers in the fields of business, management and sexuality and gender studies.
Download or read book Finger licking Good written by Tamsin Wilton and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 1996 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lesbians have lived through the porn wars, the sex wars and the dildo wars but, asks Tamsin Wilton, isn't it time to start making love, not war? For all the hype and visibility around lesbians in the mass media, lesbian sex is under attack from all sides -- a consequence of the resurgence of the far Right, the revival of religious fundamentalism, the increase in fascist activity and the construction of 'family values' as a political and social totem. While the combined might of the political and religious Right attempt to marginalize and eradicate lesbian sexuality, a number of feminists have joined them. This controversial book is primarily an exploration of political struggles around lesbian sex within lesbian communities, which sets out to expose the profoundly damaging influence of the lesbian sex 'police', and to argue for unity between feminists and queers who share a political commitment to transform the institution of gender itself. Queer feminist Tamsin Wilton has written this book as an act of resistance, 'tomcatting around the field of sex, marking out the territory for the dykes'. Bringing a forthright, fresh perspective to debates around Lesbian sadomasochism, butch-femme, dildos, lesbian porn and the lesbian sex prefects, she draws interesting conclusions. Is the dildo-wielding dyke a victim of false consciousness, or the ultimate radical feminist rebel? Who is the real 'fascist', the SM dyke or the revolutionary feminist who castigates her?
Download or read book A Queer Love Story written by Marilyn Schuster and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1989, Jane Rule – novelist, essayist, and the first widely recognized “public lesbian” in North America – summed up the first eight years of her correspondence with Rick Bébout, journalist and editor with the Toronto-based Body Politic: “It seems to me that what has concerned us is richly human and significantly focused on the concerns of our time and our tribe.” Rule lived in a remote rural community on Galiano Island in British Columbia but wrote a column for the magazine. Bébout was a resident of and devoted to Toronto’s gay village. A Queer Love Story presents the first fifteen years of their correspondence. At turns poignant, scintillating, and incisive, their exchanges include ruminations on queer life and the writing life as they document some of the most pressing LGBT issues and events of the 1980s and ’90s, including HIV/AIDS, censorship, youth sexuality, public sex and S/M, Toronto’s infamous bath raids, and state regulation of identity and desire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively ethnography, Weiss studies the pansexual BDSM community in the San Francisco Bay Area. Weiss finds that BDSM practice is not as transgressive as the participants imagine, nor is it simply reinforcing of older forms of social domination. Instead she shows how fantasy play depends on pre-existing social hierarchies, even as it also participates in a commodification of desires.

Book excerpt: For all the women who thought Christine should have stayed with the Phantom...this book is for you. "Erotically wicked! Spellbinding! A unique retelling of The Phantom of the Opera." —Bertrice Small One of the world's most infamous stories of dark passion...now retold in a novel of breathtaking historical erotica. An exquisite obsession... Christine Daaé has heard terrifying stories of the man known as The Phantom of the Opera. But, as the Paris Opera House’s youngest and most compelling star, Christine has learned the truth about the scarred man. In a lush hideaway beneath the Opera House, she craves the velvet timbre of his arousing voice, and quivers beneath the touch of his leather gloves. The Phantom is real. Her Musique d'Ange. Her liberator. And Christine is his inspiration. An erotic awakening... Condemned to the catacombs beneath the streets of Paris, Erik watches the beautiful, talented Christine from the shadows. He is careful to keep his identity and his secret in the dark, but he cannot resist her beauty and her talent. Her extraordinary loveliness haunts him like no other woman...and only he can pleasure her like no other man. But his sensual power comes with a price—and a risk to everyone who stands between them. For Christine too is succumbing to her most forbidden and dangerous desires...and as she gives everything for the Phantom, her world spirals into the darkest and most dangerous eroticism of all. "...A labyrinth of dark, extravagant eroticism...to the romance at the story's heart. Grandly conceived, wildly inventive in its smallest details...." --Molly Weatherfield, author of Carrie's Story

Download or read book Transgressive Bodies written by Niall Richardson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the body has become one of the most popular areas of study in the arts, social sciences and humanities. Transgressive Bodies offers an examination of a variety of non-normative bodies and how they are represented in film, media and popular culture. Examining the non-normative body in a cultural studies context, this book reconsiders the concept of the transgressive body , establishing its status as a culturally mutable term, arguing that popular cultural representations create the transgressive or freak body and then proceed to either contain its threat or (s)exploit it. Through studies of extreme bodybuilding, obesity, disability and transsexed bodies, it examines the implications of such transgressive bodies for gender politics and sexuality. Transgressive Bodies engages with contemporary cultural debates, always relating these to concrete studies of media and cultural representations. This book will therefore appeal to scholars across a range of disciplines, including media and film studies, cultural studies, gender studies, sociology, sports studies and cultural theory.

Download or read book Queer Futures written by David Serlin and published by Radical History Review (Duke U. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this special issue of Radical History Review, scholars and activists examine the rise of "homonormativity," a lesbian and gay politics that embraces neoliberal values under the guise of queer sexual liberation. Contributors look at the historical forces through which lesbian and gay rights organizations and community advocates align with social conservatives and endorse family-oriented formations associated with domestic partnership, adoption, military service, and gender-normative social roles. Distinguished by its historical approach, "Queer Futures" examines homonormativity as a phenomenon that emerged in the United States after World War II and gained traction in the 1960s and 1970s. One essay compares Anita Bryant's antigay campaigns in the late 1970s with those of current same-sex marriage proponents to show how both focus on the abstract figure of the "endangered child." Another essay explores how the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's organizational amnesia has shaped its often conservative agenda. Other essays include a Marxist reading of the transsexual body, an examination of reactionary politics at the core of the movement to repeal the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, and a history of how "safe streets" patrols in the 1970s and 1980s became opportunities for urban gentrification and community exploitation.

Download or read book Vandalized Lovemaps written by John Money and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the criminal justice system they are termed perverted. On the streets they are called kinky. The attitude toward people who practice aberrant sexual activity is almost always molded by prejudice or fear. Even after Alfred Kinsey's research ascertained the statistical prevalence of variant sexual activity in the population at large, the scientific establishment - and the public - have been slow to accept the study of "unacceptable" eroticism. Dr. Money, who coined the word "lovemap" a decade ago, defines a lovemap as our subconscious pattern of erotic yearnings and desire. Each of us has a distinctive lovemap, as different and individual as a fingerprint. "Vandalized" lovemaps are those that have gone awry during development, becoming paraphilic - literally, "away from what is expected in love." Paraphilia manifests itself in behavior that is, according to the ideological criterion of everyday orthodoxy, unorthodox. Vandalized Lovemaps is the first study of its kind, for it is a study of paraphilic development which is not retrospective, as is usually the case, but prospective. In seven cases, John Money and Margaret Lamacz record, from childhood onward, factors in the evolution of a paraphilic lovemap, studying biographical background, practices and subsequent treatments.
