The Soul of Sex: Cultivating Life as an Act of Love13 reviews
Thomas Moore

Harper Perennial, 1999

Rich Exploration of the Senses

+ Far From A Sex Manual

Spiritual writers have always assumed we're trying to get to some loftier plane than this one, where there's lots of love but no sensuality. A sort of endless group hug, perhaps.
