5.0 out of 5 stars A very insightful read, February 21, 2005
This review is from: Nevermore: The Hymen and the Loss of Virginity (Hardcover)
This book was written with the intention of breaking down the marked silence psychoanalysis has maintained on the topic of virginity. 'Nevermore' primarily chronicles what defloration means to the women who have lost their virginity, to the men who take it, and the cultural logic behind its prominent importance in most societies. The analysis presented in 'Nevermore' carefully covers the origins of virginity, its representation in literature by both female and male authors, anthropological studies of its presence, the sexual morals of fairy tales and the psychoanalytic process of defloration for Western men and women. For anyone who is looking for an insightful look into the reason why virginity has maintained its relevance in modern day society, this is an excellent start to a very complex and interesting question. A very intelligent piece of work.
