"The first graphic history of sex chronicles sexuality and human intimacy through the ages, from our primate pasts to our robotic futures. Humans have had sex on the brain since pre-civilization either for pleasure, power, revenge, a desire for children, or simply because it isn't allowed. Today, sex is all around us but it's rarely explained and almost never taught. In The Story of Sex, sexologist Phillipe Brenot combines anthropology, sociology, psychology and history with witty comics by Latetita Coryn for an in-depth explanation of this essential aspect of humanity. Organized chronologically into sections like Babylon: Free Love, The Middle Ages: Heaven and Hell, and The 20th Century: Sexual Liberation, Brenot explores what eroticism really is, how our ancestors behaved sexually, when the first couple was established, how superstition and morality laws shaped sexuality, the use of pornography in the digital age, and how some ancient civilizations were far ahead of their time when it came to gender equality. Full of fascinating details like Cleopatra's invention of the vibrator and a Dutch shopkeeper's accidental discovery of the existence of sperm--all accompanied by hilarious comics and dialogue--The Story of Sex is informative, unique, and entertaining book."--Amazon.com.

Whether out of a desire for children, pleasure, money, power, driven by love, lust, revenge, self-discovery, or simply because it isn't allowed, our attitudes to sex and sexuality are forever changing. Through the centuries, religion, superstition and morality laws have impacted what is and isn't deemed acceptable, while technology and disease have redefined the limits of pleasure and reproduction. Many cultures have come a long way from prohibiting masturbation - by way of a microscope - or homosexuality - a 'perversion' once comparable to cannibalism - while others continue to condemn promiscuous behaviour, particularly of women. The subject is endlessly fascinating and never more relevant to today's discussions of relationships and gender. Sex Storybrilliantly and humorously reveals our sexual ancestry, highlighting the key characters of change along the way, and foretells a future of virtual gratification.

" J'aimerais rencontrer l'homme idéal, celui qui transformera ma vie. " Cette phrase, combien de fois l'ai-je entendue dans la bouche des femmes qui viennent me voir en consultation ? Quel que soit leur âge, beaucoup sont en attente d'amour, et souvent rien ne vient... Je vais vous raconter de vraies et belles histoires d'amour, celles qui nous inspirent. Et je vais vous confier les secrets qui, selon moi, permettent aux couples de durer... Car si aimer et être aimé est une question de disponibilité, c'est aussi un apprentissage.

Les mots du sexe

Sex is everywhere, yet how many of us truly understand it? Our attitudes to sex and sexuality are forever in flux. Driven by pleasure, power, revenge, a desire for children or simply because it isn't allowed, humans have had sex on the brain since pre-civilization. But what do we really know? In The Story of Sex, we discover the truth, including: what eroticism really is, when the first couple was established, what phallic festivals were all about, when chastity belts were used and how some ancient civilizations were far ahead of their time when it came to gender equality. The first graphic novel of its kind, The Story of Sex brilliantly and humorously uncovers the most fascinating details of our sexual ancestry, and foretells a future of virtual gratification.

Comment concilier l'amour, la tendresse, l'affection et la sexualité ? Comment faire pour que chacun trouve ce qu'il recherche dans le respect de l'autre ? Comment accommoder fantasmes et vie de couple ? Comment faire pour que les envies de l'homme rencontrent les désirs de la femme ? Et pour que cela dure ? Déculpabiliser les gestes les plus simples de la vie intime : tel est le projet de ce livre. C'est en quelque sorte une éducation sexuelle pour adultes.
