John Money
Venuses Penuses:
Sexology, Sexosophy, and Exegency Theory

(Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Books, 1986) 659 pages

Collected papers on a variety of subjects,
some of which deal with the formation of gender-personalities.
For readers who have already appreciated Money's more popular works.

The world's leading sexologist of the 20th century
presents a wide-ranging book, exploring many subjects
related to the sex-script hypothesis:
1) seven criteria for differentiating the sexes;
2) the power of early sex-assignment;
3) sexual imprinting at critical periods in psycho-sexual development;
4) sexual repression gives rise to unusual sex-scripts (paraphilias);
5) male/female self-designation (which sex am I?);
6) developing gender-personalities ('masculinity' or 'femininity');
7) sexual arousal ('normal' or 'abnormal');
8) heterosexuality, homosexuality, & bisexuality;
9) sexual fantasies, pornography, & paraphilias;
10) compulsive sexual behavior and its treatment;
11) cross-dressing;
12) transsexualism;
13) intersex individuals (problems and treatments); &
14) sex-change operations.

Because this is a collection of scientific papers and articles
from several years, it varies in quality. But many hours
of stimulating reading await the careful and selective reader.
This book presents the raw material for the sex-script hypothesis.
