Rock stars sing about it, comedians tell jokes about it, and just about every advice columnist writes about it. Scientifically, however, just how curious love is, is still an open question. \"Love\" is a four-letter word to many people-and \"sex\" is the shortest four-letter word of all. Society builds taboos around these words, but there's no denying that love and sex are spectacular.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This is a book about sex: typical and atypical, loving and lustful, sensible and ridiculous. \u003ci\u003eSexual Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e takes on the most challenging puzzles of human sexuality and incorporates the latest scientific research, experts' theories, and the author's own work to explain them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy are we attracted to the people we love? Why are we hetero-, homo-, bi-, or transsexual? Who's controlling the communication when a man and a woman meet for the first time? Why do there seem to be more gay men than gay women? More bisexual women than bisexual men? Why do men and women say they're aroused by different things, but when tested with actual erotica, appear to be aroused by the same things? Why are we afraid to educate our children about sex? Does homosexuality run in families? How do things as delightful as sex and love become intertwined with pain and violence? Dr. Weinrich challenges our assumptions and popular taboos as he presents the results of fascinating research and controversial theories about why we love and lust.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eSexual Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e is a provocative, challenging guided tour of our sexual selves that will delight, inform, and instruct.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBRIEF TABLE OF CONTENTS\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 1: \u003cb\u003eThe Power of Love\u003c\/b\u003e - Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 2: \u003cb\u003eGender Transpositions\u003c\/b\u003e - Erotic subtypes discussed in the book\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 3: \u003cb\u003eTen Unsolved Problems\u003c\/b\u003e - about the science of sexual arousal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 4: \u003cb\u003eThe S*x Taboo\u003c\/b\u003e - and how it cripples our society\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 5: \u003cb\u003eReality or Social Construction?\u003c\/b\u003e - Are things like 'homosexuality' real, or just constructed by society?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 6: \u003cb\u003eLimerence, Lust, Bisexuality\u003c\/b\u003e - A new theory of types of attraction that explains how someone might 'fall in lust' with one sex but only 'fall in love' with the other sex\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 7: \u003cb\u003eThe Periodic-Table Model\u003c\/b\u003e - How the gender transpositions can be arranged\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 8: \u003cb\u003ePlethysmography\u003c\/b\u003e - Direct genital measurement as an amazing and insightful scientific technique\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 9: \u003cb\u003eFamilies of Origin\u003c\/b\u003e - How sexual preferences are related to childhood personality traits and parental caring patterns\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 10: \u003cb\u003eWhen Sex and Violence Mix\u003c\/b\u003e - How can something as wonderful as love sometimes get connected to pain and suffering?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 11: \u003cb\u003eCourtship theory\u003c\/b\u003e - The secret ways women attract men, and why men don't know about them\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 12: \u003cb\u003eHomosexuality in Animals\u003c\/b\u003e - Gay or bisexual animals?
