Publisher's Summary

With his one-of-a kind blend of autobiography, pop culture, and plainspoken Buddhism, Brad Warner explores an A-to-Z of sexual topics; from masturbation to dating, gender identity to pornography.

In addition to approaching sexuality from a Buddhist perspective, he looks at Buddhism - emptiness, compassion, karma - from a sexual vantage. Throughout, he stares down the tough questions: Can prostitution be "right livelihood"? Can a good spiritual master also be really, really bad? And ultimately, what's love got to do with any of it?

While no puritan when it comes to non-vanilla sexuality, Warner offers a conscious approach to sexual ethics and intimacy; real-world wisdom for our times.

Good Insights

Great book! Good insights. I was wondering how certain sexual activities could be seen in Zen.

Good entry point for beginners in the west

I liked the variety of topics touched. it opened my eyes to what sets Soto Zen apart from conservative Thai Theravada. I'm recommending this to friends already.
