Alchemy of Love and Lust
“Dr. Crenshaw has described a brave new world of hormones in a book that reads with the fascination of science fiction. It touches down like a tornado, scoring a direct hit on the politically correct edifice of the social construction of gender.”
John Money, director, Psychonormal Research Unit, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
If you think so, you're wrong -- hormones control our sex drives and direct our love lives. In The Alchemy of Love and Lust, Dr. Theresa Crenshaw, a renowned sex therapist and researcher, unmasks the hidden agendas of our hormones as we progress through different sexual stages -- from adolescence through old age.
Along with well-known hormones, Dr. Crenshaw introduces lesser known but potent influences that make up our "sex soup." The effects of these chemicals working together and individually offer insight into some compelling issues:
–Do people become addicted to one another through scent and touch?
–Can we determine our romantic destinies by altering our hormonal profiles?
Romantics needn't worry that science will eliminate the mystery of attraction. To the contrary, this program helps us discover romance, rekindle it, and keep it alive. Filled with often surprising information, The Alchemy of Love and Lust explains the effects of our sex hormones and gives us specific, practical suggestions on how to monitor them.
