In this provocative and highly original work, the bestselling author of Care of the Soul and Soul Mates at last restores sex to its rightful place in the human psyche. Describing sex as an experience of the soul, Thomas Moore here brings out the fully human side of sex – the roles of fantasy, desire, meaning, and morality – and draws on religion, mythology, art, litterature, and film to show how sex contains the most profund mysteries. Blending rather than opposing spirituality and sexuality he offers a fresh, liveable way of becoming more deeply sexual and loving in all areas of life.
