Review :
"Young has a deftness with language that lays out complex ideas with such beautifully written digestibility that you feel osmotically clever when you read them." --The Irish Times "A beautiful piece of work. It's funny. It's human. It really does make you think about something that's either put on a pedestal or relegated to the toilet. A triumph." --Krissy Kneen, author of Triptych "Possibly the best thing he's done yet: brave, certainly, but also wise, assured, gorgeously written and deftly wide-ranging in ideas and sources." --Patrick Stokes, author of Digital Souls "I love it. I am very much entertained and interested. Riveting." --Ginger Gorman, author of Troll Hunting "Very interesting, and very delicately and precisely written." --Guy Windsor, consulting swordsman, teacher, and author "Covering everything from 'what makes sex funny?' to nakedness through the writing of Zadie Smith and Deborah Levy, it's a book we could all do with reading." --Stylist "Drawing on personal experience, literature, myth, art and philosophy, Young examines how the fragile tension crucial to sexual arousal is akin to a narrative, the way sex highlights the impossibility of knowing another's pleasure, and how nakedness offers not so much a revelation of someone's 'true self' as an invitation to learn more about that person." --Fiona Capp, Sydney Morning Herald "A spicy examination of the frequently ambivalent, ambiguous and even incongruous 'tangle' of eros, libido and romance that we call sex." --Linda Jaivin, The Saturday Paper
