Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 Sex and gender are subsets of nature. We cannot hope to understand sex and gender without first clarifying our attitude towards nature. We are not nature’s favorites. We are merely one of a multitude of species upon which nature indiscriminately exerts its force.#2 Sex is a far darker power than feminism has admitted. It is the point of contact between man and nature, where morality and good intentions fall to primitive urges. Sex is the intersection of Hecate, where all things return in the night.#3 Sex is daemonic. It is a reflection of family romance, the constellation of sexual personae we carry from childhood to the grave. Every encounter with friend or foe, every clash with or submission to authority, is shaped by family romance.#4 The search for freedom through sex is doomed to failure. In sex, compulsion and ancient Necessity rule. The sexual personae of family romance are obliterated by the tidal force of regression, which Ferenczi identifies with ocean.
