concise study

i found this book to be very educational. usually we don't tend to note our reactions to situations or ideas unless we are paying attention to it, and i have never really looked at the erotiphobia in our society. its kind of funny because we live a more liberal lifestyle here than people do in other places in the world, but we seem almost afraid of our sexuality. of course i'm a novice in the subject, but this seemed to be a pretty good study on the sexuality in our society and more importantly, on our (almost) rejection of it. its worth checking out in any case.
