Perv: The Sexual Deviant in All of Us by Jesse Bering – review;
The Guardian,
Feb 12 2014
Quotes from a review by Steven Poole, in The Guardian, 12 Februari 2014.
"We cannot choose who we are sexually attracted to – so stop judging."
... In a friendly way, Bering, a former psychologist, argues that all sexual "perversions" or "deviancies" should be viewed objectively as just statistically more-or-less common structures of desire, without the moral disapproval that usually attaches to them. ...
He becomes more serious during the last third of the book, which is about paedophilia and child pornography. ...
Despite its wild variations in tone, this is, overall, a serious and humane book.
