"Peggy Orenstein's Girls & Sex broke ground, shattered taboos, and galvanized conversations about young women's right to pleasure and agency in sexual encounters.

Today's young men are subject to the same cultural forces as their female peers. They are steeped...

It can produce flamboyant features, such as the peacock's tail, which would seem to be detrimental to survival. This work explores our understanding of how sexual selection works." --Publisher description.

In Sex in the Brain, clinical neuropsychologist Amee Baird explores fascinating case studies of dramatic changes...
