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. 410 $aAbnormativities: Queer/Gender/Embodiment 606 $aSocial Science / Women's Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Human Sexuality$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Gender Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aSocial Science / Women's Studies 615 7$aSocial Science / Human Sexuality 615 7$aSocial Science / Gender Studies 615 0$aSocial sciences. 676 $a306.7082 700 $aSpurgas$b Alyson K$0856103 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476836603321 996 $aDiagnosing Desire$92565496 997 $aUNINA
