We don't think too much about sex; we're merely thinking about it in the wrong way.So asserts Alain de Botton in this rigorous and supremely honest book designed to help us navigate the intimate and exciting---yet often confusing and difficult---experience that is sex. Few of us tend to feel we're entirely normal when it comes to sex, and what we're supposed to be feeling rarely matches up with the reality. This book argues that twenty-first-century sex is ultimately fated to be a balancing act between love and desire, and adventure and commitment. Covering topics that include lust, fetishism, adultery, and pornography, Alain de Botton frankly articulates the dilemmas of modern sexuality, offering insights and consolation to help us think more deeply and wisely about the sex we are, or aren't, having.
Alain de Botton is the bestselling author of "How Proust Can Change Your Life, " as well as numerous other works of fiction and essays. He is well-known for making complex philosophical and artistic subjects accessible for a wider audience. De Botton founded the School of Life, a series of lectures in London that aim to make academic learning applicable to real life. With the success of the school, this concept was adapted into The School of Life book series. De Botton lives and works in London.
文/空空 参考歌曲:吴克群《爱太痛》 读这本书的时候,我正在思念一个人。她略带微笑的脸庞,时不时地浮现在我的脑海中。“但凡未得到,但凡已失去,总是最登对”——我品味着这句话,也许有点道理。 我感冒了,精神上亦如此——这个时候,羞于被人看见——像没有化妆的二十几...

评分摘一些德波顿写的出彩的部分。 > 性基本上就没有所谓的民主和善良一说;它摆脱不了残忍与侵犯的行为,也摆脱不了征服与羞辱的欲望。性拒绝建立在爱情的基础之上,尽管它本应如此。 > 这个决定性的初次时刻,令我们从两个相对陌生的人,变成了亲密性伴侣,这个时刻令人心...
二分之三后弃。许多观点不能苟同也就算了,总觉得有点胡言乱语的邪教气质。完全学不到新东西,也许再年轻一点时看接受度会更高一些。
评分观点挺有趣,但是全是作者一人瞎想,论据是几乎没有……但这段让我眼前一亮:‘I promise to be disappointed by you and you alone. I promise to make you the sole repository of my regrets, rather than to distribute them widely through multiple affairs and a life of sexual Don Juanism. I have surveyed the different options for unhappiness, and it is you I have chosen to commit myself to.’
评分又是一本可以直接跳過看conclusion的書,基本都在describe facts not much to take away.
评分已购。这本书有激发灵感的潜质!内容怎么好像比中译本多一点啊。。。
评分love,sex and family,其实可以不用考虑family吧。
