Synopsis

Challenging accepted theories about what makes for terrific sex, The Erotic Mind is a breakthrough exploration of the least understood dimensions of human sexuality—the psychology of desire, arousal, and fulfillment. Nationally known sex therapist Dr. Jack Morin offers a new perspective that celebrates the joys of Eros without denying its risks.

Based on an in-depth analysis of over 1,000 provocative stories of peak sexual experiences, The Erotic Mind offers clear, accessible guidance on how anyone can utilize his or her own peak encounters and fantasies as powerful tools of self-discovery.

The Erotic Mind explains the many paradoxes of erotic life, such as: why we're most excited when we must overcome obstacles; how anxiety, guilt, and anger—generally thought to have a negative impact on sexual arousal—often turn out to be aphrodisiacs; how we use unresolved issues from our early lives to intensify passion; and why the best sex is dynamic and unpredictable, rather than static and safe.

These and other insights, combined with concrete suggestions for increasing our enjoyment, overcoming our problems, and revitalizing our relationships, will change forever the way we think about eroticism.

A brilliant treatment of any subject that manages to be both wide-ranging as well as dense is an achievement in any field ; if it is one which occurs in a field whose mammoth importance is all too often brushed under the carpet, the achievement becomes even more luminous. The author takes on erotici......more

This a fascinating book about what turns us on, and why finding out what turns you on, specifically, can be a key to your personality, to deep levels of your subconscious. According to the author, most of all your fantasies are usually on the same theme - different scenarios, but the same theme. Als......more

Goodreads review by Silvia on November 27, 2014

Some read on psychology of sexuality was next on my non-fiction list, and someone had suggested Who's Been Sleeping in Your Head?: The Secret World of Sexual Fantasy to me. I wasn’t as keen though after reading a few reviews here and there and finding out the author was a Freudian psychotherapist, b......more

Goodreads review by Kateřina on February 25, 2023

Skvělá kniha o sexu a vztazích psaná srozumitelným jazykem! Erudovaný americký sexuolog Morin není příliš neosobní a klinický ani křečovitě familiární. V první polovině je text obecnější, ke konci velmi instruktivní, po celou dobu interaktivní a napěchovaný příklady a kazuistikami. Morin nejenom vyb......more
