Explicit, sometimes shocking, always thought provoking, in Sex and the Psychethe true nature of British sexual fantasies is revealed for the first time. We may think that our society talks about sex more than ever, yet when it comes to what's going on in our heads, it's a different matter. This book gives us an unprecedented insight into the hidden worlds of our imaginations, showing, as never before, that we are far from alone in our unspoken desires and secret thoughts. Practicing psychotherapist Brett Kahr has conducted the largest survey ever in this field, with the aid of YouGov pollsters, bringing together responses from over 20,000 people in Britain (of which over 2,000 case studies are featured in full here).…

"Well, Kahr is a psychotherapist and he conducted the largest ever survey of men and women’s sexual fantasies in Britain. On the one hand it tells us that it’s OK that the best sex is in our heads and the originality and imagination of people is amazing – the creativity that exists in the sexual hinterland! Ninety per cent of us have regular sexual fantasies that we never reveal, and that tells us that it’s not how long you can manipulate a clitoris for but it’s about your whole upbringing and your psychopathology. He shows how sexual behaviour and your attitude to sex and relationships with someone else can be so deeply influenced in ways you’re never aware of. Of course, once you have an element of self-awareness you can unlock these sexual taboos. It’s also a really raunchy read. It’s unbelievable what people come up with. It makes me feel so boring."
