How To Think More About Sex

Written by Alain De Botton and Campus London LTD (The School of Life)

Narrated by David Thorpe

Sex is the most intimately human experience there is. It is can also be the most confusing. Our desire to be together conflicts with our desire to avoid vulnerability and appear ‘normal’, leaving us detached, desensitised or embarrassed.

Covering topics including adultery, lust, pornography and impotence, Alain de Botton argues that 21st Century sex will always be a balancing act of trust versus risk, and of primal desire versus studied civility. By examining sex from a subjective - rather than scientific - perspective, he uncovers new ideas on how we can achieve that balance.

Pulling back the sheets on modern sexuality, How To Think About Sex offers important and surprising wisdom that proves that being good in bed is really all in your head.

Reviews for How To Think More About Sex

[Umesh Malik · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Good insight into sex and relationship , give it a try it will worth your time.

[Andrew Yerkes · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Clear and strong arguments on porn, adultery, and marriage—and sharp insights that elicited odd noises from me while listening. I did not agree with some of the claims, but the book delivers the promise of cultivating thought about sex, even more so about what marriage is for.
