【Content Introduction】

This book focuses on sexual behavior in two modes: partnership and domination. The author eloquently points out that only when the relationship between men and women returns from the traditional domination relationship to partnership can the original characteristics of sexual behavior, which are beautiful, noble, pure and happy, be restored; under partnership, sexual behavior is no longer lowly, dirty and painful, and love, sex and reproduction will become the most important part of human happiness.

【Editor's recommendation】

Even though the book discusses in detail all aspects of sex from ancient times to the present, from animals to humans, from the west to the east, from the north to the south, and from the world and all mankind, even to the smallest details, there is absolutely no sign of pleasing readers with vulgar tastes. The author has a lofty intention. What she wants to explain is that the sexual-physical relationship between the two sexes is isomorphic to their family relationships, social-interpersonal relationships, economic relationships, and political relationships. Sexology is the foundation of sociology, economics, and politics. This is why the subtitle of this book uses this sentence: "Sex, Mythology, and the Politics of the Female Body." Furthermore, only when humans first complete the return from domination to partnership in sexual-physical relationships can they then realize the cultural transformation from domination to partnership in family relationships, social-interpersonal relationships, economic relationships, and political relationships.

This is a high-level cultural anthropology work, and also an encyclopedic work on sexology. It presents a panoramic picture of the Western consciousness revolution, the feminist movement and sexual liberation. It is a good book that enables readers to gain knowledge, broaden their horizons, enrich their knowledge, change their concepts, improve their realm and clarify their direction in terms of "sex", especially women's "sex". It is destined to become a classic work in the field of sexology.
