Is it possible to develop a kind of sexual intelligence, one that can deepen our pleasure and give us a greater awareness of ourselves?

Kim Cattrall ignited a new sexual revolution with her first book, Satisfaction - an intimate guide to satisfying sexual desire. Now she’s back, with a provocative new work that examines the sources and inspirations of sex. Cattrall and a small group of writers and filmmakers traveled to the historic sites that have give expression to human sexuality -- including the streets of ancient Pompeii, with their explicitly erotic public art; the Secret Museum in Naples; the beaches of Cyprus, birthplace of the love goddess Aphrodite; and the rolling hills of Dorset, England, site of the largest phallus on earth. They also interviewed experts, sexual adventurers, and ordinary people.

The result is an informed and entertaining look at the mysterious logic of sexual desire. SEXUAL INTELLIGENCE features candid conversation, comic animation, master works of art, and contemporary photography -- all woven into a narrative that celebrates nature, imagination, and the sensuality of life.
