What controls our sex lives? Our brains.
Yet there is surprisingly little research into the ways our brains influence
our sex drive. Research mainly takes place when something goes wrong through
brain injury or disease, offering extraordinary insights into how the brain
works.
In Sex
in the Brain, clinical neuropsychologist Amee Baird takes readers on an
entertaining and informative tour of the sexiest bits of the human brain. Spiced
with real case studies, the book reveals pathologies no longer hidden in
medical journals or the bedrooms of people whose sex lives are undergoing
dramatic change, for better and worse. In
the style of popular neurology guru Oliver Sacks, Baird captures the humanity and
complexity of patients, even when their neurological challenges have rendered
them permanently or temporarily unlikeable.
Drawing from true stories, this revealing and
sometimes heartbreaking book unfolds a better understanding of the links
between brain function and our sexual selves.
'The taboo on talking about changes in sex drive and sexual behaviours following brain damage is over! Neuropsychologist Amee Baird s engaging case studies exploring this topic will move as well as educate the general reader, and inspire professionals to incorporate this central human need into their patient assessments and treatments.'
