Opis

In this fascinating book Cherry Potter takes readers on her personal and professional quest for insights into sex, relationships, gender differences, why we feel what we feel, and do what we do. She asks why the lessons of sexologists, such as Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, and Shere Hite, still haven’t been learnt?
