Body/Politics demonstrates how many of the controversies in modern science involve or invoke the feminine body as their battleground. This groundbreaking collection addresses such scientific issues as artificial fertilization, the "crisis" in childbirth management,and the medical invention of "female" maladies and the debates surrounding them. In the process it makes an important attempt to remedy the traditional division between science and non-science by focusing on the interconnection of literary, social, and scientific discourses concerning the female body. The editors have brought together noted feminist scholars and critics from various fields. Contributers include Susan Bordo, Mary Ann Doane, Donna Haraway, Emily Martin, Mary Poovey and Paula A. Treichler.

Based on the hit documentary that inspired a vibrant online community, this innovative approach to birthing shows women how to maximize childbirth's emotional and physical rewards. With more than 4 million babies born in the United States each year, too many women experience birth as nothing more than a routine or painful event. In her much-praised film Orgasmic Birth, acclaimed filmmaker Debra Pascali-Bonaro showed that in fact childbirth is a natural process to be enjoyed and cherished. Now she joins forces with renowned author and activist Elizabeth Davis to offer an enlightening program to help women attain the most empowering and satisfying birth experience possible. While an orgasmic birth can, for some, induce feelings of intense, ecstatic pleasure, it is ultimately about taking control of one's own body and making the most informed decisions to have a safe, memorable, and joyful birth day. Whether women choose to give birth at home, in a hospital, or in a birthing center, Orgasmic Birth provides all the necessary tools and guidance to design the birth plan that's best for them. Featuring inspiring stories from mothers and their partners and filled with practical advice and solutions, this one-of-a-kind resource is the next frontier of natural, intimate childbirth.

This book presents some eruptions of archaic compulsions and behaviors and the forms that they acquire in contemporary societies. It explores how we see and feel our bodies and some of the ways evolution and culture are transforming them.

"The Secret Female Hormone is a must read for women today! Hormones should always be evaluated in unity, and testosterone is almost always overlooked. The authors tell the truth about how hormone imbalances truly affect women - not only their energy, their vitality and their libido but also their family relationships and self-esteem. This book will be a resource for women for years to come!" - Marcelle Pick, author of Is It Me or My Hormones? and The Core Balance Diet Leading experts show why testosterone hormone imbalance could be the vital connecting factor in a wide variety of health issues for women in midlife. You know the experiences all too well. You can’t sleep, so you start your day feeling exhausted. Seemingly overnight, you can’t remember names, places, appointments—things you could previously recite at the drop of a hat. You want to be more active, but you have zero energy for that. And sex? Forget it! By now, you’ve probably been told this is "normal," or that it’s the "natural" course of aging. And you might even believe it, because so many women approaching midlife have the exact same symptoms. In fact, millions of women worldwide are undiagnosed and untreated for hormone imbalance deficiency. As one of the country’s leading experts on hormonal balance—and as a woman who experienced these symptoms herself—Dr. Kathy Maupin has identified a debilitating and overlooked health condition: testosterone deficiency syndrome, or TDS. Most people associate testosterone with men, but it’s one of the most vital hormones in women, and one of the first hormones that women begin to lose as they enter their 40s. And Dr. Maupin’s own research has shown that the symptoms of aging—fatigue, memory loss, moodiness, low libido, and so much more—are initiated and accelerated by testosterone loss. In this book, Dr. Maupin and therapist Brett Newcomb show how testosterone replacement can radically improve your life. They share the history and background of hormone replacement therapy, the latest research on treatment options, as well as: • Tips for dealing with mood swings, changes in sex drive, and maintaining healthy relationships • Surprising information on the long-term effects and health risks of testosterone loss • Common myths and misconceptions regarding estrogen and testosterone replacement therapy • Questionnaires to help you determine your individual hormone deficiencies • Real stories and personal experiences Dr. Maupin’s patients share clear, practical, and easy-to-use, this authoritative guide sheds light on the importance of testosterone and will help you reclaim your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

Sex has no history, but sexual science does. Starting in the late nineteenth century, scholars and activists all over the world suddenly began to insist that understandings of sex be based on science. As Japanese and Indian sexologists influenced their German, British and American counterparts, and vice versa, sexuality, modernity, and imaginings of exotified “Others” became intimately linked. The first anthology to provide a worldwide perspective on the birth and development of the field, A Global History of Sexual Science contends that actors outside of Europe—in Asia, Latin America, and Africa—became important interlocutors in debates on prostitution, birth control or transvestitism. Ideas circulated through intellectual exchange, travel, and internationally produced and disseminated publications. Twenty scholars tackle specific issues, including the female orgasm and the criminalization of male homosexuality, to demonstrate how concepts and ideas introduced by sexual scientists gained currency throughout the modern world.

Do you think emotional affairs are more harmful than sexual affairs? Think about it; suddenly and unexpectedly you find out that someone else is or has been depending on your significant other for emotional attention, love and possibly financial support. Someone else is getting the love, support and attention you are supposed to be getting. Don’t you agree that your relationship may be at risk? See, if you have caught your significant other having a one night stand, or a temporary sexual affair, and (s) he decides to end it voluntarily, then it is up to you to decide to forgive and resume with your relationship. Perhaps, the two of you should revise and set new boundaries, or benefit from therapeutic interventions. However, with emotional affairs, is not that easy to forgive and move on, because you do not have sufficient and concrete evidence to prove your significant other’s emotional or sexual affairs, which tend to be elusive by nature. You can choose to remain emotionally trapped and deceived or demand respect and the truth.

A BOOK FOR THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS ABOUT TANTRA, ASTROLOGY, SELF HEALING AND THE DEEP NATURE OF ORGASM. A HANDBOOK FOR THOSE WHO PURSUE TANTRIC REALISATION AND PLANETARY RECREATION AS A MISSION OR A PROFESSION Cosmic Engineering And Orgasmic Continuum’ is the brainchild of Arun Webber, a software engineer and former student of Narayana Gurukulam from Bangalore. Arun is also the Founder of the popular websites: eduladder.com and arunsyoga.in. Born into a family that has passed tantric knowledge down from generation to generation, he compiled this book based on knowledge he gained whilst travelling across India, as well as talking to diverse people across the globe. The book is presented in the form of four dialogues with experts in their fields, namely Betsy B. Murphy, Dr Thomas, Ben Lawson, and Jem Ayres. It concludes with four examples of tantric meditation Techniques. The first dialogue with Dr Thomas, entitled, ‘Tantric Enlightenment In World Religions’ explores tantric influences on various philosophies, including historical materialism, and suggests Mary Magdalene was the tantric concert of Jesus. The second dialogue, with Betsy B Murphy, ‘Beyond Orgasm’, is also an open discussion. Betsy is a Hollywood filmmaker, born and raised in the States, who has received much acclaim for her book, “An Autobiography Of Orgasm”, which explores (tongue in cheek) how women are treated in the bedroom and why they resort to faking orgasms. Betsy has journeyed throughout India and Africa in search of orgasmic experiences and she shares her insights here into what is beyond orgasm and how one can achieve this. The third discussion is with Ben Lawson, a tantric adult filim maker and a feminist sex worker. Ben’s work is motivated by his frustration with how modern day adult movies present human beings as preverts in their bedroom practices, often ending with rape on their counterparts. In this chapter, the discussion examines the feminine-oriented worshipping yantra – ‘kali yantra’ – and what it symbolises and Represents. The book’s final discussion is with Jem Ayres – a sex coach based in the UK. Jem describes how she miraculously healed her body of lung cancer using the power of tantra. The final section of the book outlines four tantric meditation techniques that can be used in everyday life for empowerment and healing. Throughout the book, there are beautiful images of philosophers, various meditation techniques and a variety of tantric symbols, such as the biblical interpretations of the seed of life, the flower of life and the three dimensional kali yantra. It aims to offer a subjective, existential meaning to enhance the depth of it’s reader’s life. While using this book as a guide for your Tantric expedition, always remember. “If you know That, you don’t have to seek! If you don’t know That, then you don’t know what to seek!! If you think you know That, then you actually don’t know That!!!” -Isavasya Upanishad
