Reviews

“Experience is very well researched, with extensive citations throughout. … The authors provide a thorough discussion of the impact of cognition and language, biology, evolution, and culture. … the book provides a holistic view of human sexuality that is unique and interesting. Psychologists interested in personality, cognition, culture, sexology, and the historians of psychology should find Horley and Clarke’s book an interesting read.” (Carlos A. Escoto, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (10), March, 2017)
