che chiameremo evolutivo ci permette di dare risposta a una serie di interrogativi a cui l'umanità ha cercato di rispondere da sempre e che fanno riferimento alla sessualità, alla coppia e alla seduzione: Cosa vogliono gli uomini? Cosa vogliono le donne? A cosa serve il sesso? Che strategia riproduttiva usa l'uomo? Che strategia riproduttiva usa la donna? Qual è l'obiettivo del corteggiamento? Cosa posso fare come donna per scegliere meglio? Perchè l'amore chiede sempre di più e non ottiene mai abbastanza? Perchè la selezione sessuale è un processo che non possiamo spiegare? Perchè ciò che è attraente per alcuni non lo è per altri? Perchè i nostri geni hanno scelto il sesso come meccanismo di riproduzione? Come possiamo migliorare le nostre capacità di seduzione? Come facciamo per essere quel che vogliamo essere? Come facciamo per mostrare la miglior versione di noi stessi? Perchè il pene ha la forma che ha? Perchè il prepuzio? Le dimensioni contano? Perchè il glande? Cosa è successo al baculum (osso interno del pene)? Cosa guardano le donne quando realizzano la loro selezione sessuale? Cosa attrae gli uomini? Come funziona la selezione sessuale? Perchè gli uomini a volte si innamorano solo con lo sguardo? Perchè le donne hanno bisogno di parlare per innamorarsi? Perchè le donne sono attratte da uomini che regalano loro diamanti? Perchè ai pavoni femmine piacciono i pavoni maschi con code grandi? Perchè siamo infedeli? Perchè tutti siamo contrari all'infedeltà ma tutti la pratichiamo o ci fantastichiamo sopra? Perchè l'attrazione ad essere infedeli è quasi irresistibile? PerchèLet the Church Say Amen

His nineteen-year-old daughter, Rachel, gives new meaning to "baby mama drama."

At the heart of the Jackson family is Loretta, the Reverend's wife. She has always been devoted to her husband, but she's beginning to realize that enabling him to give more to the church than to their children was her biggest mistake. As things continue to fall apart and secrets are revealed, will Loretta be able to help her husband reunite their tattered family...before it's too late?SatisFaction: Erotic Fantasies for the Advanced & Adventurous Couple.

By Ana V. Clavel. 2017
"No hay nada más atrozmente cruel que una niña adorada." Todo objeto de deseo se vuelve, en la fantasía, fetiche,…
y uno de los más fascinantes fetiches de nuestra época es precisamente Lolita. ¿No es acaso la esencia de Lolita una encarnación o sucedáneo del objeto amoroso perdido, de ese inefable placer que nunca se ha de alcanzar? Ana V. Clavel explora tales territorios en busca de los secretos y misterios de esas chiquillas dulces, pero también terribles, según la fuerza del deseo que desanudan. Este ensayo sobre las nínfulas se estructura a partir de cuatro núcleos temáticos. En el primero, "Lolita: fundación de un mito", se abordan algunas peculiaridades en torno al personaje creado en 1955 por Vladimir Nabokov. En el segundo se indagan los antecedentes del arquetipo, con especial atención en Alice Liddell (no tanto la niña en quien se basó el personaje de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas, sino a quien Lewis Carroll fotografió con fascinación) y en Caperucita roja. La tercera sección explora un territorio todavía virgen en la arqueología de las Lolitas: la interioridad de la nínfula. Por último, la cuarta sección analiza algunas de las más destacadas creaciones de nínfulas en artes como la pintura, la fotografía y el cine, en busca del fulgor de la pequeña diosa más allá del estereotipo. Sobre las nínfulas: "El lector debe comprender que, dueño y esclavo de una nínfula, el viajero encantado está, por así decirlo, más allá de toda felicidad, un paraíso cuyos cielos tenían el color de las llamas infernales, pero con todo un paraíso." -Vladimir Nabokov- "Caperucita roja fue mi primer amor. Tenía la sensación de que, si me hubiera casado con ella, habría conocido la felicidad completa." -Charles Dickens- "Carroll quería contar una historia a una niña; la historia divaga, la niña cambia, el Deseo se convierte en el único amo de un espacio que no está orientado por ningún tiempo; mientras tanto, aquel que dio la señal de partida se lamenta y confiesa sus angustias de adolescente viejo y masoquista en versos llorosos." -Hélène Cixous- "El cuerpo de las Ninfas era el lugar mismo de un conocimiento terrible porque era a la vez salvador y funesto: el conocimiento a través de la posesión. Un conocimiento que otorga clarividencia, pero puede también entregar a quien lo practica a una locura peculiar. La paradoja de la Ninfa es ésta: poseerla significa ser poseídos." -Roberto Calasso-Real Life Erotic Encounters: Sexy Stories told by Lovers

Let The Church Say Amen: Reverend Simon Jackson has always felt destined to lead, and he's done a good job…
of it. But while the good Reverend's been busy tending his flock, his family's gone astray. His nineteen-year-old daughter, Rachel, gives new meaning to "baby mama drama." David, the oldest at twenty-seven, has been spiraling into a life of crime. Blessedly, Jonathan, Simon's beloved middle child, is poised to take his side as associate pastor—or so everybody thinks. At the heart of the Jackson family is Loretta, the Reverend's devoted wife—who’s beginning to realize that enabling him to give more to the church than to their children was a mistake. Will Loretta be able to help her husband reunite their tattered family...before it's too late? Everybody Say Amen: When her husband hears God's call to become a preacher, Rachel Jackson Adams is distressed—she grew up a preacher's daughter, and knows how difficult life under the microscope can be for a reverend's family. But hot-headed Rachel has toned down her wild ways, and for the sake of her marriage and her two children, she is now the reluctant first lady of Zion Hill. When her son, Jordan, begins fighting at school, Rachel turns to the boy's father, Bobby—Rachel's first love from years ago. Married now himself, there should be nothing between them except their concern for Jordan—so why does seeing Bobby again feel so distractingly tempting? Rachel must listen carefully to discover what God truly wants for her—and decide if Bobby is the lover of her dreams or the devil in disguise. Say Amen Again: Once again, the spirited Houston congregation featured in ReShonda Tate Billingsley’s Let the Church Say Amen and Everybody Say Amen has a major scandal unfolding and the outspoken Rachel Jackson Adams is at the heart of the hilarious and poignant drama.
