Human sexuality touches all of us. Sexual functioning and dysfunction are closely tied to people’s self-esteem, self-respect, and to their relationships with their intimate partners. This book will describe and explore the interplay of intimacy and sexuality, how it can enhance relationships, and how it can negatively affect them, or be affected by them. Paraphilias are what we call ‘perversions,’ which include voyeurism, to much more severe and socially unacceptable behaviors such as sadomasochism, pedophilia, zoophilia, rape, and more.  Amongst its other contributions, this book will place sexuality where it belongs, within the context of relationships, and will demonstrate how it is related to intimacy and may enhance it, how it may be negatively influenced by destructive relationships, and how dysfunctions or paraphilias may influence the intimate union.
