The Sex Sickness and Its Cure

The Sex Sickness and Its Cure offers an analysis of the relationship between sex and money and how modern standards for being "hot" are leaving people cold – and sick; subtopics include the laws of thermodynamics in relation to the middle-age "crisis," which is actually the end of crisis, the difference between procreative and creative sex, and the choice of living alone as a lifelong lifestyle or as preparation for having a family; included is the story of a woman who intentionally waited until near menopause to begin a sex life, her first lover being an undocumented Mexican immigrant 16 years her junior.
