John Ince probes the nooks and crannies of the modern erotic mind and discovers that below our seeming enthusiasm for sex is a reservoir of fear. While we are drawn to sex, it also secretly disturbs us. Ours is a culture of sexual bravado, not sexual joy.

Ince offers a sweeping re-evaluation of our sexual ethics. He finds powerful anxieties lurking in our attitudes to every type of erotic expression, from nudity to public sex, masturbation to homosexuality, monogamy to group sex, pornography to prostitution, teen sexuality to erotic art.

This erotic malaise powerfully affects our lives. It stunts sexual passion, inhibits frank and honest talk about sex, and generates shame about sexual organs. It even influences our political orientation.

Our sex-negativity is the product of a fascinating but toxic social system that this book is the first to identify. The challenging ideas set out in The Politics of Lust will give you a radical new perspective on both your sexuality and your society.

About the Author

John Ince is a lawyer, journalist, and co-founder of The Art of Loving, a sexuality center in Vancouver, B.C. He is also the founder of The Erosha School of erotic massage. A member of the Bar for 23 years, he is one of the few lawyers in Canada expert in laws pertaining to sexuality. His victorious 1985 court battle against Canada Customs resulted in the most sweeping changes to Canadian sex media law in a generation.

The author of four other books, including two popular handbooks on environmental law, a best-selling wilderness travel guide, and a book on real estate, Ince's articles have appeared in over a dozen magazines and newspapers in Canada and the United States. He is a frequent public speaker who lectures at college campuses and leads sexual enhancement seminars.

His controversial performance productions, such as Public Sex, Art and Democracy, attract international media attention. The Politics of Lust is the product of Ince's twenty years of path breaking work in the field of human sexuality.
