Sexology is a comparatively young field though its modern roots go back many decades and its history is centuries old. As this unique volume demonstrates, sexologists aren't looking to get their kicks, but are dedicated to developing and enhancing their profession. Those taking part in this project hope it will inspire a new crop of creative and enthusiastic sexologists.
The extraordinarily diverse collection of people who reveal how they got into sex includes therapists, educators, leading researchers of sexology, a sex toy designer, housewives, sex surrogates, criminologists, clergy, transsexuals, journalists, sociologists, physicians, psychologists, lawyers, nurses, scientists, social workers, and historians. Included among those featured in this absorbing volume are: Clive Davis, Albert Ellis, Robert Francoeur, Paul Gebhard, Naomi McCormick, John Money, William Prendergast, and Ira Reiss.
