Aprender a hacer el amor

That learning to make love is a matter for philosophy, and not only for sexology or psychology, may surprise you at first glance, but a simple observation of the experience of desire is enough to convince you of it. The great thinkers of antiquity, led by Socrates, sought the definition of the good life. The primary vocation of philosophy was to offer us representations of life that are really worth existing for, a project that the discipline has tended to neglect in modern times. In this book, the philosopher Alexandre Lacroix reveals to us what could be the definition, or rather, the complete philosophical description of the good sex. In other words, the perfect powder. The author proceeds in short chapters, each of which deals with a facet or a moment of the sexual relationship: the preliminaries, the rhythm, the changes of position, the conversations, the domination, the orgasm... Lacroix does not evade any topic , but treats them all like a philosopher, shedding light on what determines us and stands in the way of an act of authentically fulfilled love. Learning to make love is a shrewd reflection on enjoyment, empathy and creativity in sexual relationships, an ars amatoria at the opposite end of sexuality understood as merchandise, so common in our current times, where pleasure is consumed like any other product.
