The Erotic Mind: Unlocking The Inner Sources of Sexual Passion and Fulfillment by Jack Morin, Ph.D. is one of the most influential books for our work here at Pleasure Mechanics. We were honored to have the late, great Jack Morin as an early mentor and advocate for our work in developing the field of Sexological Bodywork.
The Erotic Mind is unfortunately out of print, so we are sharing quotes generously here on this page so Jack Morin’s wisdom can live on and inspire you as it did us!
“We know far more about which sexual acts people engage in, how often, and with whom, than we know about what makes some of these acts compelling. We are awash in facts and figures, yet relatively little has been written about what sex means for those involved – such as how it enriches their lives or helps them feel better about themselves”
“Eroticism can best be understood as the multifaceted process through which our innate capacity for arousal is shaped, focused, suppressed and expressed.”
“Eroticism is the process through which sex becomes meaningful. The erotic is intricately connected with our hopes, expectations, struggles and anxieties- everything that makes us human.”
