DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1987. The major theme of this book is that sexual aversion or sexual phobia (that is, a persistent or recurrent extreme discomfort with or avoidance of all, or almost all, genital sexual contact with a sexual partner) is more difficult to treat when accompanied by panic disorder; treatment may fail unless anti-panic medication (for example, tricyclic antidepressants or monoamine oxidase inhibitors) is prescribed and sex therapy is modified to accommodate to the special needs of these patients. Throughout the book, the author, based on her experience with 51 such cases (17 case vignettes are presented), advocates Klein's theory that patients with panic disorder suffer from a constitutional, biologic abnormality in the form of a defective or malfunctioning anxiety-regulating mechanism in the central nervous system, and their symptoms including sexual aversion represent an abnormal continuation into adult life of the protest phase of “separation anxiety.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIshtyle follows queer South Asian men across borders into gay neighborhoods, nightclubs, bars, and house parties in Bangalore and Chicago. Bringing the cultural practices they are most familiar with into these spaces, these men accent the aesthetics of nightlife cultures through performance. Kareem Khubchandani develops the notion of “ishtyle” to name this accented style, while also showing how brown bodies inadvertently become accents themselves, ornamental inclusions in the racialized grammar of desire. Ishtyle allows us to reimagine a global class perpetually represented as docile and desexualized workers caught in the web of global capitalism. The book highlights a different kind of labor, the embodied work these men do to feel queer and sexy together. Engaging major themes in queer studies, Khubchandani explains how his interlocutors’ performances stage relationships between: colonial law and public sexuality; film divas and queer fans; and race, caste, and desire. Ultimately, the book demonstrates that the unlikely site of nightlife can be a productive venue for the study of global politics and its institutional hierarchies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1995. Recent research indicates that there has been a steady increase in the number of patients seeking help with various sexual desire problems. TheSexual Desire Disorders, an exciting volume from one of the foremost authorities in the field of sex therapy and human sexuality, explores in-depth the human sexual response, with emphasis on various therapeutic approaches to the treatment of sexual dysfunctions and particular disorders of sexual desire. The book examines not only the historical perspectives of these disorders, but the most recent research, thinking, and acceptance of these problems as a real clinical phenomena. This volume focuses primarily on the dysfunctional regulation of sexual motivation. Dr. Kaplan applies her comprehensive, integrated, psychodynamically oriented sex therapy approach when addressing the etiology, clinical features, and diagnostic criteria of these disorders. The author also examines psychiatric disorders that can lead to a loss of sexual desire, as well as some organic causes, including medical conditions, drugs, and age. Finally, Sexual Desire Disorders presents over 30 case studies that cover treatment approaches for a wide variety of sexual desire disorders, ranging from hyperactive sexual desire in a married bisexual man to a loss of sexual desire due to infertility treatment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow the rise of HIV in India resulted in government protections for gay groups, transgender people, and sex workers This original ethnographic research explores the relationship between the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the rights-based struggles of sexual minorities in contemporary India. Sex workers, gay men, and transgender people became visible in the Indian public sphere in the mid-1980s when the rise of HIV/AIDS became a frightening issue. The Indian state started to fold these groups into national HIV/AIDS policies as “high-risk” groups in an attempt to create an effective response to the epidemic. Lakkimsetti argues that over time the crisis of HIV/AIDS effectively transformed the relationship between sexual minorities and the state from one that was focused on juridical exclusion to one of inclusion. The new relationship then enabled affected groups to demand rights and citizenship from the Indian state that had been previously unimaginable. By illuminating such tactics as mobilizing against a colonial era anti-sodomy law, petitioning the courts for the recognition of gender identity, and stalling attempts to criminalize sexual labor, this book uniquely brings together the struggles of sex workers, transgender people, and gay groups previously studied separately. A closely observed look at the machinations behind recent victories for sexual minorities, this book is essential reading across several fields.
