The study, meticulously prepared by Jeffrey Weeks, professor of sociology at London South Bank University, for those who know that thinking about our sexuality means thinking about our lives, reveals that what is "normal" in sexuality is determined by dominant understandings, and in today's world where "multiple" sexualities are possible, sexuality is examined historically, socially and culturally. And it is a must-read book for everyone who wants to think individually.

"In the past, the people who could talk about sexuality were clearly defined: churches, states, doctors, possibly poets and novelists. Today, however, we can all claim to be experts on the subject, thanks to the globalized media, talk shows, TV series, documentaries, chat rooms, social networks, blogs. "On the other hand, the more we specialize, the greater the difficulties we face."
