Description
Lust, a mortal sin? These times are over. In today's public perception, it is more likely for a boring sex life to be categorised as that. In statistical terms, people have never had as little sex with each other as they do today. And yet tips for a good sex life are to be found on every (digital) corner. Sex has mutated into a lifestyle product, and terms like 'fuckability' and 'MILF' trip lightly off our tongues. Henriette Hell takes a closer look at the thing about sex. She traces the history and genesis of 'sexual liberation', and sheds light on the 'cheating gene' and the #metoo debate. The author asks (and answers) the question of whether sex is becoming more and more antisocial and what actually still turns us on today. In doing so, she focuses on the former mortal sin of lust, which is inseparably linked to the systematic suppression of female lust (and its liberation).

Author Biography
Henriette Hell works as a journalist and author in Hamburg and during her travels around the globe. Her book "Achtung, ich komme! In 80 Orgasmen um die Welt" (Watch out, I'm coming! Around the world in 80 orgasms) promptly became a bestseller. She enjoys writing honestly and casually about sex because she thinks far too few people are doing it. Her column 'Love from Hell' in Stern magazine was a weekly essential for many readers.
