Challenges the mind on sexual views,
By
This review is from: Philosophy and Sex (Paperback)
I first encountered this book during a philosophy course in college. This course and the book were some of the first experiences I had that challenged me to open my mind and become more than I was. The book offers several different views on sex, criticizing or approving various sexual acts, fetishes, and preferences from such the likes of notable feminists, the Pope and many other so called experts but always allowing you as the reader to think and decide as to what is the truth. Its also a great book to enter the study of philosophy which can sometimes be bland and holier than thou. There's nothing else more racy and controversial than sex. Its entertaining subject matter, but at the same time will spark that fire in the mind.

This review is from: Philosophy and Sex (Paperback)
Book was well worth it, has a number of writings on the listed topics from a range of view points. I bought this for personal interest but as chance would have it I have an opportunity to use it as a source for a college paper on the social history of the family as a unit, and sex.
