Spurgas examines the "new science of female sexuality" from a critical, sociological perspective, considering how today's feminist-identified sex researchers study and manage women with low desire. Diagnosing Desire investigates experimental sex research that measures the disconnect between subjective and genital female arousal, contemporary psychiatric diagnoses for low female desire, new models for understanding women's sexual response, and cutting-edge treatments for low desire in women-including from the realms of mindfulness and alternative healing.Abnormativities: Queer/Gender/EmbodimentSocial Science / Women's StudiesbisacshSocial Science / Human SexualitybisacshSocial Science / Gender StudiesbisacshSocial sciencesSocial Science / Women's StudiesSocial Science / Human SexualitySocial Science / Gender StudiesSocial sciences306.7082Spurgas Alyson K856103ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910476836603321Diagnosing Desire2565496UNINA
