In Praise of Masturbation - Softcover
For the majority of us, masturbation is the most widespread sexual practice, and for the majority of males, it is the first sexual experience of their lives. However, it remains the most unmovable taboo in Western morality.
This book shows how this came about historically and how modern psychology has compounded the problem. If the book claims the audience it deserves, perhaps the world will change. The storm will pass; masturbation will henceforth become a right. It will be deemed lawful, good, agreeable, beautiful, convenient, simple, excellent, decent, meritable, useful, valuable, happy, frequent, habitual, ordinary, comprehensive, exciting, appetizing, attractive, captivating, recreative, interesting, stimulating, passionate and a tonic.

From the Back Cover:
Beginning with his own confession, 'Yes, I've masturbated...and several times too!' Philippe Brenot aims to break one of our last remaining taboos. For a long time considered the mother of all vices, masturbation needs to throw off its bad reputation. While remaining for the most part an illicit practice amongst the male sex, female masturbation is rarely even spoken of.
About the Author:
Philippe Brenot lifts the lid on masturbation and argues that this most intimate of acts in our personal lives is also the most natural, normanl and necessary way to keep in touch with your sexuality.
Don't knock masturbation; it's sex with someone I love!' said Woody Allen, reminding us that it is the most spontaneous form of sexuality. The message behind this book? Learn to love yourself!
Philippe Brenot is a psychiatrist and anthropologist, specializing in sexuality and couple studies, and has studied sexuality at the University of Paris.
