Sprecht ihr mit anderen Menschen über Sex? Über euren eigenen? Eher nicht? Dann seid ihr nicht alleine.

Nadia Fernández und Monica Bürki haben sich getraut und 17 Frauen gefunden, die offen und ehrlich über ihr Liebesleben, ihre Sexualität und ihren Lebensweg sprechen wollten. Ihre Geschichten zeugen von überraschend grosser Erzählfreude und bilden eine Vielfalt möglicher Erfahrungswege ab. Wo stehen sie in der Liebe, im Sexuellen?

Was hinter verschlossenen Schlafzimmertüren passiert, bleibt auch der Forschung großteils verborgen. Manche Fachleute tauchen jedoch tief in die Privatsphäre von Probandinnen und Probanden ein, um deren Sexualverhalten zu vermessen. Sie stellen Fragen wie: Wann war dein erstes Mal? Wie viele Mal pro Monat hast du Geschlechtsverkehr? Von wem fühlst du dich angezogen? Wie kommunizierst du, dass du Lust (oder keine Lust) auf Sex hast? In dieser Ausgabe von Spektrum Kompakt werden einige der Erkenntnisse zusammengefasst, die sie mit solchen Befragungen und weiteren Untersuchungen gewinnen konnten.

Was geht ab in Deutschlands Betten? Das weiß niemand besser als die Sexologin Katrin Hinrichs. In ihrer Praxis spricht sie täglich mit Ratsuchenden über Freude und Frust beim Sex. Das Erstaunliche dabei, die Geschichten sind gar nicht so individuell, wie man denken würde. Vor allem die Erfahrungen Gleichaltriger ähneln sich: Teenager, die frustriert sind, weil Sex in Pornos ganz anders abläuft, als in ihren eigenen Betten. Junge Menschen, die im Beruf Vollgas geben und vor lauter Stress keine Lust mehr spüren. Paare mittleren Alters, die weniger Sex haben als frisch verliebte 70-Jährige.

Warum hat es fast nie gepasst? Wonach habe ich gesucht?

There is no one better qualified than Jared Diamond - renowned expert in the fields of physiology and evolutionary biology and award-winning author - to explain the evolutionary forces that operated on our ancestors to make us sexually different. With wit and a wealth of fascinating examples, he explains how our sexuality has been as crucial as our large brains and upright posture in our rise to human status.

A generation gap has emerged between parents and their girls. Even in this age of helicopter parenting, the mothers and fathers of tomorrow's women have little idea what their daughters are up to sexually or how they feel about it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with over 70 young women and a wide range of psychologists, academics, and experts, renowned journalist Peggy Orenstein goes where most others fear to tread, pulling back the curtain on the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important possibilities of girls' sex lives in the modern world.

'It was just sex.' It's a familiar claim. But is it really possible? The old idea that sexuality is a smouldering, animalistic force within us, desperate for release yet restrained by social forces, has little to support it. And the pain, heartache, and regret that can accompany the highs of sexual excitement show us that much more is at stake. So, what are we really thinking about when we think about sex? And what are we really doing when we do it? As acclaimed psychoanalyst Darian Leader argues, with his trademark clarity, energy and wit, there is no such thing as 'just sex'.

Feminists have long challenged the ways in which men tend to sexualize women. But pioneering activist, biologist, and trans woman Julia Serano argues that sexualization is a far more pervasive problem, as it’s something that we all do to other people, often without being aware of it.

While fast, hot, orgasm-driven sex can bring momentary satisfaction, in the long run it can become boring and mechanical, causing many couples to lose interest and stop making time for physical intimacy. The first step to revive a waning sex life or make a healthy one more fulfilling, says author Diana Richardson, is to make sex a conscious decision rather than an accidental encounter.

With acuity, humor, and respect for human diversity, The Shortest History of Sex reveals where the many facets of our sexuality—chemical, anatomical, behavioral, social—come from.

A fascinating, bite-sized insight into how human sexuality came to be the way it is now - Jared Diamond explains why we are different from the animal kingdom. Why are humans one of the few species to have sex in private? Why do humans have sex any day of the month or year, including when the female is pregnant, beyond her reproductive years, or between her fertile cycles? Why are human females one of the few mammals to go through menopause?
