Only the Lonely? If you can have sex by yourself, and you're not either procreating, or making money at trying to arrest or rechannel such behavior, you pose a threat -- or at least you did back in the 17th and 18th centuries. Heck, even the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Exploring how masturbation was viewed in different eras according to the ontological horizon of each era, LaQueur gives a kind of x-ray of the politics, morals, and economic assumptions of each age. In the early Enlightenment days when Bentham's utilitarianism held sway, for instance, there could be no justification for solitary sex as it did not lead to anything "productive"(except, of course to pleasure). Four hundred years later, it is still policed as a "guilty pleasure," but since pleasure has been liberated as a virtue unto itself in the consumption society, thus masturbation has been transformed. And if it has not been fully transformed into a social good, then it has been been promoted as a valid personal choice, though still suspect. Well and simply written for an academic title with great illustrations. |

Here's hoping I bought this book to help my son Jonathan see a more zen side to masturbation. Or in fact any other side than the furtive and grubby. |

The Book of Truth Elijah Scott pulls all of the stops to talk about a subject that so many shy from. The book is easily understood, and includes real life situations and curiosities. This could open the eyes of so many that wish them shut. I admit the title took me by suprise the first time I saw it, but give it a try and get into the authors teachings and beliefs. Once you start reading and put the book down your mind continues to sor thte information and greater views are seen about TRUE LIFE. |
