Love and sex : a Christian guide to healthy intimacy / by Houston, Nancy,(Sex Therapist)author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 233-234).The invitation -- Real life -- The secret -- Love and longing -- Doing the work of healing -- Doing life together -- The guys' group -- Time to heal -- Sexual wholeness seminar -- Cultivating happiness -- Hold me -- Passion.Sex is powerful! Just saying the word "sex" can stir up all kinds of emotions. Maybe it's a positive emotion for you--or possibly a hurtful, shameful, confusing one. It's no wonder we struggle to understand its meaning and purpose. It can be difficult to talk about, and if we have experienced unwanted shame or grew up in a home where sex was taboo, addressing the topic can be even more difficult. In a world of sexual chaos and confusion, we all need a healthy dialogue on the topic--not a black-or-white, right-or-wrong lecture, but a safe forum for discovering, learning, processing, and growing into passionate intimacy within the freedom God provides. In Love & Sex, Nancy Houston provides a compassionate view of human sexuality. Through the lens of Scripture, she unpacks the good God intended when He created humans as sexual creatures, while recognizing that many people haven't experienced sex in a positive way. You won't find a critical examination of dos and don'ts, but stories of redemption, grace, and hope. You will understand how you were shaped and that you are more than your sexual behaviors. For some people, sex is a regular part of life. For others, it's a huge deal. Maybe even too big of a deal. This book will be your roadmap to finding sexual health, happiness, and balance. And if you are one of the few unscathed by sexual shame or confusion, this book will help you develop a more compassionate lens for those who do struggle.

SEX IS A SPECTRUM : the biological limits of the binary / by Fuentes, Agustin,author.(CARDINAL)344727;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In this short book, Agustín Fuentes presents a new view of the biology of sex, arguing that the traditional strict male/female binary is inaccurate and that, biologically and socially, there are multitudes of ways to be female or male or both"--"Why human biology is far more expansive than the simple categories of female and maleBeing human entails an astonishingly complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there is a lot more variation and overlap than we may realize. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed-and why having XX or XY chromosomesisn't as conclusive as some would have us believe.In this lively and provocative book, leading biological anthropologist Agustín Fuentes begins by tracing the origin and evolution of sex, describing the many ways in the animal kingdom of being female, male, or both. Turning to humans, he presents compelling evidence from the fossil and archaeological record that attests to the diversity of our ancestors' sexual bonds, gender roles, and family and community structures, and shows how the same holds true inthe lived experiences of people today. Fuentes tackles hot-button debates around sports and medicine, explaining why we can acknowledge that females and males are not the same while also embracing a biocultural reality where none of us fits neatly into only one of two categories.Bringing clarity and reason to a contentious issue, Sex Is a Spectrum shares a scientist's perspective on why a binary view of sex and gender is not only misguided but harmful, and why there are multitudes of ways of being human"--
