* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will learn how to take ownership of your sex life. You will also learn : to listen to your desires and those of your partners; to become sexually responsible; to approach sexuality in a relaxed and uncomplicated way; to take responsibility for your sexuality. For many, many years, sexuality has been ignored. Some agreed that making sexuality a taboo was not appropriate because it is a source of pleasure. Thus, a number of writings and drawings related to sex have circulated since then. Although there is no longer a law of silence around sexuality, it remains difficult to talk about it freely. The objective is therefore to free speech on this subject, by sending false beliefs, misinformation and any notion of guilt into the air. In any case, sexuality has not drastically evolved, but the sexual revolutions and their moral repercussions have made it possible to approach certain subjects more serenely, without fear of being judged. So, are you ready to understand what it means to have a fulfilling sex life? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There are four types of readers for this book. First, there are those who don’t like it, find it disturbing, and would rather stay the way they are. Second, there are those who are with the idea but don’t like our choice of techniques. Third, people will use our notes as a personal one-couple notebook from which they might get ideas. #2 The people we are addressing are the adventurous and uninhibited lovers who want to find the limits of their ability to enjoy sex. We take some things for granted, such as having intercourse naked and spending time over it. #3 The solo, by contrast, is when one partner is the player and the other the instrument. The aim of the player is to produce results on the other’s pleasure experience as extensive, unexpected, and wild as his or her skill allows. The instrument does lose control, but this is not a problem if it ends in an uncontrollable ensemble. #4 There are only two rules in good sex, aside from the obvious one of not doing things that are dangerous or antisocial. One is: Don’t do anything you don’t enjoy, and the other is: Find out your partner’s needs and don’t balk at them if you can help it.

By taking control, assuming responsibility for your health and well-being, and standing up for your rights, you can make the most of what should be the best years of your life. With the right preparation, it is a time of freedom and fulfilment.

This new introduction to the sociology of gender and sexuality provides fresh insight into our rapidly changing attitudes towards sex and our understanding of masculine and feminine identities, relating the study of gender and sexuality to recent research and theory, and wider social concerns throughout the world.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • From an award-winning journalist, a poignant and gripping immersion in the life of a young, homeless single mother amid her quest to find stability and shelter in the richest city in America LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD • “Riveting . . . a remarkable feat of reporting.”—The New York Times Camila is twenty-two years old and a new mother. She has no family to rely on, no partner, and no home. Despite her intelligence and determination, the odds are firmly stacked against her. In this extraordinary work of literary reportage, Lauren Sandler chronicles a year in Camila’s life—from the birth of her son to his first birthday—as she navigates the labyrinth of poverty and homelessness in New York City. In her attempts to secure a safe place to raise her son and find a measure of freedom in her life, Camila copes with dashed dreams, failed relationships, the desolation of abandonment, and miles of red tape with grit, humor, and uncanny resilience. Every day, more than forty-five million Americans attempt to survive below the poverty line. Every night, nearly sixty thousand people sleep in New York City-run shelters, 40 percent of them children. In This Is All I Got, Sandler brings this deeply personal issue to life, vividly depicting one woman's hope and despair and her steadfast determination to change her life despite the myriad setbacks she encounters. This Is All I Got is a rare feat of reporting and a dramatic story of survival. Sandler’s candid and revealing account also exposes the murky boundaries between a journalist and her subject when it becomes impossible to remain a dispassionate observer. She has written a powerful and unforgettable indictment of a system that is often indifferent to the needs of those it serves, and that sometimes seems designed to fail. Praise for This Is All I Got “A rich, sociologically valuable work that’s more gripping, and more devastating, than fiction.”—Booklist “Vivid, heartbreaking. . . . Readers will be moved by this harrowing and impassioned call for change.”—Publishers Weekly “A closely observed chronicle . . . Sandler displays her journalistic talent by unerringly presenting this dire situation. . . . An impressive blend of dispassionate reporting, pungent condemnation of public welfare, and gritty humanity.” —Kirkus Reviews
