Sex, sin, and Zen /Brad Warner/283 pages

An intriguing look at modern sexuality seen through the lens of ancient Buddhism. Warner approaches each concept from his personal experiences as a former punk musician to his present life as an ordained Buddhist priest.  He has a knack for writing exactly what you are thinking, then making the obvious naughty joke of it, mostly through the clever use of footnotes.  His microscopic examination of the prurient details and subtle nuances of the human psyche gets past the taboos and guilt, clearing the way to see human sexuality in all its forms for exactly what it is.  Human sexuality!  This would make a great book club discussion for close group of select friends.  Highly recommended.


P.S. Thanks to Laura P. for recruiting me!
