Written by an 'insider', an openly gay autistic adult, Wendy Lawson writes frankly and honestly about autism, sex and sexuality. In her new book, she draws upon her own experience to examine the implications of being autistic on relationships, sex and sexuality. Having discussed subjects such as basic sex education and autism, the author goes further to explore the wider issues of interpersonal relationships, same sex attraction, bisexuality and transgender issues. She also examines the unspoken rules that exist between people in relationships and explains why these rules can be difficult and confusing for people with autism. This book will give courage and information to adults with autism or Asperger Syndrome and provide essential insights to those living and working with them.

Based on Nick Dubin's own experience, and drawing on the extensive knowledge of Dr Tony Attwood and Dr Isabelle Hénault, this important book addresses the issues surrounding the autism spectrum, sexuality and the law. The complex world of sex and appropriate sexual behaviour can be extremely challenging for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and, without guidance, many find themselves in vulnerable situations.

It explains the legalities of sexual behaviour, how laws differ from country to country, and the possibility for adjustment of existing laws as they are applied to the ASD population. With advice on how to help people with autism spectrum disorder gain a better understanding of sexuality and a comprehensive list of resources, the book highlights the need for a more informed societal approach to the psychosexual development of people with ASD.A ground-breaking and honest account, this book will be an invaluable addition to the shelves of parents of children with ASD, mental health and legal professionals, teachers, carers and other professionals working with individuals on the spectrum.

Abortion. Physician-assisted suicide. Same-sex marriages. Embryonic stem-cell research. Poverty. Crime. What is a faithful Christian response? The God of the Bible is unquestionably a God of justice. Yet Christians have had their differences as to how human government and the church should bring about a just social order. Although Christians share many deep and significant theological convictions, differences that threaten to divide them have often surrounded the matter of how the church collectively and Christians individually ought to engage the public square. What is the mission of the church? What is the purpose of human government? How ought they to be related to each other? How should social injustice be redressed? The five noted contributors to this volume answer these questions from within their distinctive Christian theological traditions, as well as responding to the other four positions. Through the presentations and ensuing dialogue we come to see more clearly what the differences are, where their positions overlap and why they diverge. The contributors and the positions taken include Clarke E. Cochran: A Catholic PerspectiveDerek H. Davis: A Classical Separation PerspectiveRonald J. Sider: An Anabaptist PerspectiveCorwin F. Smidt: A Principled Pluralist PerspectiveJ. Philip Wogaman: A Social Justice Perspective This book will be instructive for anyone seeking to grasp the major Christian alternatives and desiring to pursue a faithful corporate and individual response to the social issues that face us.

In non-threatening and hilarious illustrations, this book underscores the way most parents totally freak out over the subject of sex when it comes to explaining it to their children. One end of the spectrum has the parents who avoid the subject altogether, while the other end of the spectrum is pulling out charts, diagrams and videos. The goal of this book is to relax the parent and encourage them to take a straight-forward, but not overwhelming approach to teaching their kids... there are no materials for learning or illustrations to share with your kids... this is a humorous book for grownups, and not a manual on teaching the subject. A cute book to have on your coffee table or in a guest room. It's sweet illustrations will make anyone laugh and only Queen Victoria would have problems with the content. It's straight forward and honest.

Why has the Right's anti-gay agenda been so successful in galvanizing a broad spectrum of Christians to political action? Why have the issues of gay ordination and gay marriage come to dominate liberal Christian discussions of sexuality? What questions about sexual orientation, sexual ethics, and Christian community are not being asked as a result?Sex and the Church is a groundbreaking book that brings lesbian and gay theory and experience to bear on questions of sexuality and its relationship to Christian life. Ethicist Kathy Rudy begins by showing how the Christian right's campaign for "family values" has profoundly shaped American debates about gender and sexuality, and how mainline Protestant denominations have responded by focusing narrowly on questions of inclusion and exclusion, rights and privileges for lesbians and gay men. She then moves the debate onto a new level, drawing on queer theory and the lives of gay and lesbian Christians to answer new questions: Are gender and sexual orientation categories by which we should define ourselves and judge each other? Is the nuclear family the best site for Christian commitment? What is the purpose of sex, and what does it have to do with God? And what kind of intimate relationships best contribute to the formation of Christian community? Rudy concludes by proposing a new Christian sexual ethic that adapts the ancient notions of unitivity and procreativity to the church of today.This provocative work offers a powerful vision of a renewed Christian community, open to all.

This book explores elemental principles in the study of sex while addressing readers who are not trained philosophers as well as those who are. Singer locates sex within a spectrum that also includes love and compassion. He claims that fundamental mistakes have persistently occurred because numerous theorists relegate sex, love, and compassion to separate and distinct compartments. His emphasis upon the internal linkage between sexuality and the varieties of love is further elaborated in later portions of the book: in relation to a distinction that Singer makes between 'the sensuous' and 'the passionate,' followed by consecutive ideas about the nature and valuation of sex. Discussing sex as both an appetite and an interpersonal drive, Singer argues that much philosophical confusion has resulted from the doctrines of those who constrain sexuality within either of these to the detriment of the other. What is sexual for human beings is normally, and perhaps always in some degree, a composite of the appetitive and the interpersonal. In us sex is generically a function of each. This conception of appetitive and interpersonal strands as unified in our sexuality then becomes the basis for his remarks about the relative value of individual sex acts as well as their place within the aesthetic and moral dimension of human nature.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT SEX? Ask 100 so-called experts, you'll get 100 different answers. In his groundbreaking book Why Waiting Works author Rob Kowalski approaches the subject of sex from a more practical viewpoint than other books written on the subject. Rob admittedly has lived at polar ends of the spectrum when it comes to sex, maybe more so than anyone in the history of the world. His boldness to tell his story in the book, exposing the raw, honest and riveting details, is destined to set people free from the the deeply embedded lies about sex in our culture. Each of the sessions are based off what he learned in life as he walks us through the practical implications of not waiting and solidifies the claim that waiting to have sex is one of the most impactful decisions you can make to achieving everything you want most in life. Even though he views the subject of sex through a Christian lens, the principles are universal. This small group study will give participants a fresh view on how to find real love by applying the timeless principle of delayed gratification. It will also help them form a tribe of like-minded friends to make the journey with. Why Waiting Works is now available at www.whywaitingworks.com or on Amazon.

Provocative title aside, this is literally about birds and bees. Windybank, a journalist and naturalist, has prepared a thorough examination of the courtship and reproductive habits of animals in the wild. She covers the full spectrum of wildlife from single-cell organisms that reproduce asexuality to the higher mammals, some of which have strict species-specific behavioral codes. Windybank describes how sexual behavior in the animal kingdom closely parallels human practices. Many animals favor monogamous relationships, while others have multiple partners and some are even promiscuous and exhibit "deviant" behavior. Chapter sidebars describe a bizarre fact about the sexual antics of a particular species. But, outside of these tidbits, the book's appeal is limited to students of animal behavior--although one might expect a more extensive bibliography in what seems to be a scholarly work. It is, however, well written and includes a very helpful glossary. Wild Sex is an optional purchase.- Deborah Emerson, Monroe Community Coll.

Writing with characteristic grace and wit, Larry McMurtry tackles the full spectrum of his favorite themes -- from sex, literature, and cowboys to rodeos, small-town folk, and big-city slickers. First published in 1968, In a Narrow Grave is the classic statement of what it means to come from Texas. In these essays, McMurtry opens a window into the past and present of America's largest state. In his own words: "Before I was out of high school, I realized I was witnessing the dying of a way of life -- the rural, pastoral way of life. In the Southwest the best energies were no longer to be found on the homeplace, or in the small towns; the cities required these energies and the cities bought them...." "I recognized, too, that the no-longer-open but still spacious range on which my ranching family had made its livelihood...would not produce a livelihood for me or for my siblings and their kind....The myth of the cowboy grew purer every year because there were so few actual cowboys left to contradict it...." "I had actually been living in cities for fourteen years when I pulled together these essays; intellectually I had been a city boy, but imaginatively, I was still trudging up the dusty path that led out of the country...."
