SEXOLOGY

Sex Therapist, Dr. Margarita Holmes' books on Life, Love, Lust, Pleasure, Passion, etc., are both enlightening and stimulating. She approaches sex problems in a very straight-forward and down-to-earth manner. She lays a dividing line between the physical, the psychological and the moral in such a way that her materials turn out to be very controversial.

She explained sexual needs as just another primitive urge very similar to hunger and thirst. But I think she neglects the fact that while food and water are the answers to hunger and thirst craving respectively, copulation is not that easily available for sex urges in a polite society of human beings.

But anyway for mature and intelligent readers, Dr. Holmes' book could be very educational and entertaining. I still believe that just the way one cannot just eat any food when one is hungry, one must not just indulge in any kind of sex activity when one is aroused. There must be some kind of limitations when it comes to discussion about sex matters.

While sexual dysfunction and sexual perversions can arise from ignorance about sex physiology, it must be taught with caution and with consideration about the moral aspects and the varied side effects.
