Reviews
Is bisexuality an identity? Does the penis always rule? How does the desiring anus work? Why do we still bother with sexual orientation? Is identity useful when it comes to the sexual? These and other contemporary concerns in Critical Sexuality Studies provide the focus for ""queersexlife"". If you like your theory complex, rich and built from the ?bottom? up, you'll like Goldie's gentle, wry and persuasive approach. Most importantly, he reminds us that without objectification there can be no desire, but without subjectification there can be no pleasure. --GARY W. DOWSETT, PhD, La Trobe University, Melbourne--GARY W. DOWSETT ""Gary W. Dowsett ""
