Sex, after hunger, may be the most powerful motivating force in our lives. It drives us to seek intimate contact with others and to form relationships that may be fleeting or lifelong, blissful or troubled. Yet many mysteries surround sex and sexuality: Why don't we reproduce by virgin birth? Why does so much of our sexual behavior have nothing to do with reproduction? Why isn't everyone heterosexual? How does the brain create sexual arousal? How do sexual kinks develop? Is porn harmful? What is the relationship between sex and love?

Che ci fanno Emmanuel Lévinas e Slavoj Žižek, maestri del pensiero contemporaneo, accanto a Rocco Siffredi e Moana Pozzi, protagonisti di ben altre imprese? Che cosa rende il pop porno, e quindi l'osceno, lo scandaloso, degno oggetto di riflessione filosofica? Cos'è, in una parola, la pornosofia? Dopo aver sgombrato il campo dalla critica politicamente ed eticamente corretta della pornografia, l'autore indaga il nesso fra corpo, amore, perversione, democrazia e, infine, ricerca filosofica.

Werde ich eine gute Mutter sein? Was, wenn die Geburt anders verläuft, als ich es mir vorgestellt habe? Und warum redet eigentlich jeder nur noch davon, wie anstrengend das Leben mit Kind plötzlich sei? Simone Hartwigsen kennt als Hebamme und Mutter beides, den Klinikalltag und die (werdenden) Mütter, die sich vermeintlich gut vorbereitet haben und dann doch vollkommen kalt erwischt werden. Sie weiß: Es kommt auf zwei Dinge an: Eine realistische Perspektive auf das, was einen erwartet und eine positive Herangehensweise an diesen neuen Lebensabschnitt.

What causes a child to grow up gay or straight? In this book, neuroscientist Simon LeVay summarizes a wealth of scientific evidence that points to one inescapable conclusion: Sexual orientation results primarily from an interaction between genes, sex hormones, and the cells of the developing body and brain. LeVay helped create this field in 1991 with a much-publicized study in Science, where he reported on a difference in the brain structure between gay and straight men. Since then, an entire scientific discipline has sprung up around the quest for a biological explanation of sexual orientation. In this book, LeVay provides a clear explanation of where the science stands today, taking the reader on a whirlwind tour of laboratories that specialize in genetics, endocrinology, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, evolutionary psychology, and family demographics. He describes, for instance, how researchers have manipulated the sex hormone levels of animals during development, causing them to mate preferentially with animals of their own gender. LeVay also reports on the prevalence of homosexual behavior among wild animals, ranging from Graylag geese to the Bonobo chimpanzee.
