Product Description
Throughout the ages woman has been worshipped as Madonna and goddess, and vilified as an insatiable demoness whore. Female sexuality is a subject of fascination and fear. And it is precisely because of this "schizophrenic" attitude, and the concept of "sin," that female sexuality has been and remains the most controversial and most misunderstood subject on the planet.

In this text, Joseph throws "political correctness" to the wind, and tells it like it is, beginning with the primate and biological origins of female sexuality, and tracing the evolution of her sexuality, and the development of her breasts, buttocks, and unlimited sexual receptivity, over the course of evolutionary history.

The story begins with Australopithecus and Homo Habilis, and continues with the evolution of Homo Erectus, female choice, and the domestication of man. Joseph explains the origins of lesbian sexuality and competition between women, including (for some), the uncomfortable fact that women, on average, have more sex, and more sex partners than the "average" man.

Sexuality: Female Evolution and Erotica, is based, in part, on Dr. Joseph's pioneering research on the biological, hormonal, environmental, and evolutionary foundations of sex differences and sexuality--research he first began publishing, in esteemed scientific journals in the 1970s. This research includes his most recent scientific monograph, on sexual evolution, which recently appeared in the esteemed scientific journal: the Archives of Sexual Behavior.

From the Publisher
Since the publication of the first edition of this text, a number of studies have been published which have confirmed some of the Dr. Joseph's more controversial data, statements, and arguments, including his claim, that women, on average, have more sex and more sex partners than the "average" man.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete, selective "science" supports male fantasies, May 13, 2002
By A Customer
Dr. Rhawn Joseph "forgot" to include scientific analysis of The Forgotten Ape = the Bonobos (see the book by de Waal published by the University of California Press). Dr. Joseph's 'University Press California' book is interesting and revealing as an example of how selective, incomplete coverage of evolutionary science can be used to justify the most extreme contemporary cultural expressions of misogynistic patriarchy. It could be used as a text book for study of that phenomenon. The photographs of nude women with motorcycles reflect the cultural ideology that makes the pursuit of valid science so difficult in America today.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book, March 30, 2002
By A Customer
This book at a superficial level appears to be intelligently written. If you are a scientist who has studied human sexuality you will know what a sham this book is. The author apparently doesn't understand the fundamentals of the field, like minimal parental investments and its evolutionary consequences. Don't buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, Bravo , A Tour De Force, April 16, 2002
By Jessica (Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews
Dr. Joseph is among that elite group of scientists who not only makes amazing discoveries but has the amazing ability to "think outside the box." In the 1970s Dr. Joseph was the first to demonstrate, conclusively, the role of early environmental and hormonal influences on sex differences in cognition, scientific studies he published in prestigious scientific journals. He has also made major discoveries in the field of evolution, including the evolution of language, religion, sex differences and sexuality, and has published this work in prestigious scientific journals such Behavioral and Brain Research and the Archives of Sexual Behavior. In this brilliant, tour de force, Dr. Joseph explains the origins and evolution of human female sexuality and points out unsettling facts that the patriarchs of science and culture would prefer to believe were not true. For example, among almost all species, almost all females will mate, whereas 30% to up to 75% of males never have sex. The same is true of the human female who, on average, has more sex partners, and certainly, more orgasms, that the average male. Females are built for sex: consider the millions upon millions of women who work as prostitutes. What human male could engage in sex with 5 or more women a day, for years? Women have more sex than men, though it is often with the same man. That is, whereas a few high status males have numerous sex partners, most males do not. However, who is having sex with these high status men? Women, lots of women, ...
