How to Think More About Sex

Navigating the Intimate and Exciting, Yet Often Confusing and Difficult Experience of Sex
How to Think More About Sex is a rigorous and supremely honest book designed to help us navigate the intimate and exciting—yet often confusing and difficult—experience that is sex. Alain de Botton asserts that we don't think too much about sex; we're merely thinking about it in the wrong way. Few of us tend to feel we're entirely normal when it comes to sex, and what we're supposed to be feeling rarely matches up with reality. Covering topics that include lust, fetishism, adultery, and pornography, de Botton frankly articulates the dilemmas of modern sexuality. He offers insights and consolation to help us think more deeply and wisely about the sex we are, or aren't, having. This book argues that twenty-first-century sex is ultimately fated to be a balancing act between love and desire, and adventure and commitment.
