Product Description

Review

"This readable and well-conceived book represents a lucid, synoptic assessment of a key and central feature of our humanity. Its approach is both comprehensive and systematic. It is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in the social and behavioral sciences as well as philosophy, women's studies, and anthropology. The reader will find here a rich and creative synthesis of both intrapsychic and interpersonal aspects of sexual attraction, arousal, and response. A thoughtful selection of primary literature and important critical analysis of the methodology of human sexuality research enhance an explicitly humanistic agenda."-Sanford Lopater, Professor of Psychology, Christopher Newport University, author (with Ruth Westheimer) of Human Sexuality: A Psychosocial Perspective --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


Relationship Research News, Fall 2005

'an absolute "must-read" for all graduate students and researchers interested in sexuality and close relationships'. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really important contribution to the topic, 30 Oct 2005
Dr Giles writes with both humour and integrity. His approach is existential phenomenalism. This approach requires that a range of cross cultural sources is examined to find out whether there are any universal aspects of experience underlying sexual desire. This approach differs from for instance more post modern 'social constructivist' approaches where sexual desire is constructed, potentially in completely different ways across different cultural contexts.

Well worth reading but would be nice if the publishers considered a paperback edition to bring it to a wider audience!
