The Western world is clearly obsessed with sex. In a culture where one can find virtually any physical or mental sensation the imagination can conjure up, why do we remain unsatisfied? Thomas Moore declares that we are actually afraid of sex,"afraid of our own vitality." He believes that what we need is the courage to live sensuously, to ease up on the maddening work ethic, and to give pleasure its due. Moore believes sex is an experience of the soul--not just an act in the bedroom, but something that permeates everything we do. Because sex is so much at the center of life, if we pretend otherwise it only haunts and consumes us. "Sex and life are so creative. If we just get out of the way, life will make us who we are, who we want to be." Discover how to bring out the pulse and passion at the center of your being in this stirring dialogue. (hosted by Michael Toms)
