Montcuq-en-Quercy-Blanc / Labastide-Marnhac

Contains a new afterword 'An important book . . . exactly the kind of level0headed analysis that could help to dispel some of the hysteria surrounding the sex industry' Suzi Godson, The Times Is there any truth to the epidemic of sex addiction? Are our children really getting sexualised younger? Are men the only ones who like porn? Brooke Magnanti looks at all these questions and more - and proves that perhaps we've all been taking the answers for granted. Brooke Magnanti is no stranger to controversy. As Belle de Jour she enthralled and outraged the nation in equal measure. Now her identity is out in the open, Brooke's background as a scientist and researcher can come to bear in her fascinating investigations into the truth behind the headlines, scandals and moral outrage that fill the media (and our minds) when it comes to sex. Using her entertaining and informed voice, Brooke strips away the hype and looks at the science behind sex and the panic behind public policy. Unlike so many media column inches, she uses verifiable academic research. This fact not fiction, science not supposition. So sit back, open your mind and prepare to be shocked . . .
