S=EX² cover

This book offers a comprehensive look at human sexuality, blending science with personal experiences, making it accessible and engaging for all readers. S=EX² is a must-read.

In S=EX², readers are presented with an in-depth exploration of human sexuality, combining rigorous science with engaging narrative. The author, Pere Estupinyà, moves beyond traditional sexual education, offering a fresh perspective that challenges conventional wisdom. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for those seeking to understand the complexities of sexual behavior, breaking down barriers between popular beliefs and scientific findings.

Estupinyà's approach is unique; he not only provides valuable insights but also shares personal experiences from his interactions with a diverse range of individuals. From asexual and intersexual people to fetishists and multi-orgasmic women, the author dives deep into the myriad expressions of human sexuality. He also examines historical attempts to “cure” homosexuality and explores the physiological connections between the nervous system and sexual pleasure. This blend of anecdotal evidence and scientific research makes S=EX² both informative and relatable.

The book is designed for a broad audience, encouraging curiosity and open-mindedness about topics often considered taboo. Estupinyà's discussions on the effects of yoga on sexual pleasure, the intricacies of decision-making during intimate moments, and the fascinating dynamics between mind and body are just a few examples of the wealth of knowledge presented. Ultimately, S=EX² offers a rich tapestry of information that appeals to both the scientifically inclined and the simply curious.

“Estupinyà, a science journalist, has produced an accessible, entertaining review of a wide range of topics related to human sexuality. … The major strengths of this publication are Estupinyà’s interesting writing style and his ability to render transparent the dense and obscure. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; general readers.” (P. Lefler, Choice, Vol. 54 (9), May, 2017)
