"Psychology of Sexuality" is the "popular version" of Ellis's masterpiece "Research" (seven volumes). It is an encyclopedia on sexual psychology. It covers the biological basis of sex, the nature of sexual impulses, the biology of courtship, sexual impulses in adolescence, sexual education, sexual variation, marriage and sex, fertility issues, the art of love, the sublimation of sex, etc.
Although this book is a scientific work, it has a strong humanistic color, clear logic, and beautiful writing. It takes into account both science and artistry. It is also a textbook written for ordinary readers.
Reader comments
There is a lot of professional knowledge, but not easy to understand. It would be better to have a book that briefly follows history and touches on contemporary human psychology experience!
This book is comprehensive and covers all aspects of sexual psychology, just like a big dictionary of sexual psychology. I especially agree with the views on sex education in the book. As a father who works hard to start a business, I know the importance of correct sex education for children. Some of the cases in the book also reminded me of my own experiences, which resonated very much with me. However, I kind of disliked some of the overly academic presentation in the book, which made it a bit cryptic to read. Overall, this is a book worth reading.
