Description

Eric Berne – Sex in Human LovingThis book was first published in 1970.  Its content is based upon the Jake Gimbel Sex Psychology Lectures over which Dr. Berne presided at the University of California in April and May of 1966.One reviewer compared Sex in Human Loving to the book Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex.  While this comparison is somewhat accurate, Sex in Human Loving takes a more serious and academic approach to the subject of Sex.  Berne addresses many topics, including sex education, the biology of sex, human relationships and sex, and sexual games.  Berne discusses some sexual games that he described in Games People Play, but he also introduces some new sexual games and elaborates on other games from Games People Play, such as Rapo.This book is recommended for those readers interested in a more in-depth discussion of sexual games, as well as a discussion of sex within the context of Transactional Analysis.This review is from: Sex in Human Loving (Hardcover)Anyone who is unhappy with the relationships they have, sexual or not, can benefit a LOT from this book. It’s funny, witty, and thought provoking. Not just about sex, but about *you*, and why you don’t have the relationships you want. This review is from: Sex in Human Loving (Hardcover)This is not about the sexual positions of sex but about intimacy in the context of sex.It tells you why you are after it and how most of the time you have been or got programmed in Life to not get it. One is also better off reading his other books before getting this one i.e. `Games People Play’ and `What do you say after you say hello’. This review is from: Sex in Human Loving (Hardcover)The title is misleading. This book is about much more than just sex. A good explanation of Berne’s teaching, easier to follow than the complex `Games People Play.’ I wish I had taken the lessons of this book on board when I first read it at 18. The moral of the book: most of us have unhappy scripts handed to us by our parents which make our lives unfulfilled, sometimes tragically unhappy, but those scripts can be rewritten with determination and insight. The humour is a bit too cutesy but the book deserves a 5 for sure.
