How to Think More About Sex
Sage sex advice from a philosophical polymath
In How to Think More About Sex (2012), Alain de Botton dives into the strange and often uncomfortable world of sex. A nuanced reflection on the true meaning of sex and its place in our lives, these blinks are full of both insights into the psychology of desire and practical advice, such as how to maintain sexual interest within long-term relationships. Sex, de Botton ultimately concludes, will never be simple, but it can be enjoyable. All we need to do is think about it more.
- Anyone who wants to understand their own sexual desires
- Fans of Freudian psychology and would-be philosophers of sex
- Anyone who’s ever felt sexually deprived or been stung by rejection
