Orgasm

This immaculately-written book gives you all you want to know about orgasm – the history, physiology and mythology – and additionally contains many amusing anecdotes from the author’s own research.
The orgasm has replaced the cross as the central symbol of our longing and as the image of fulfilment, and worship in this new religion takes place at the high altar of the Internet. We celebrate communion with Valpolicella and Viagra and dream of a heaven with orgastic blessing, Purvis thinks. He explains various theories as to how orgasm has developed and the direction it will take in the future, but by no means does he concentrate on its physiological aspect. This book will give insight into the workings and significance of this wonderful sensory experience, without demystifying it too much and turning into a sneeze!
The English version of the manuscript is available.
