The Sexual Brain Paperback - 1994

by Simon LeVay

The Sexual Brain asserts that human sexual feelings and behavior can best be understood in terms of the development, structure, and function of the brain circuits that produce them. A new afterword to this paperback edition examines the work of Dean Hamer and his colleagues, who in 1993 produced evidence of a gene that influences sexual orientation in men.


First line

There are two broad classes of ideas-two prejudices, if you like-that characterize people's attitude toward sexuality and its development.
