This provocative collection examines how society denies and dishonors the generative and healing power of Eros that may cause widespread feelings of fear, isolation, and inadequacy. Together, the contributors seek to break the reader out of the prison of cultural stereotypes, opening the gates to a richer, more satisfying erotic life.
