Love and Orgasm
Alexander Lowen's second book and perhaps his most controversial one is a study about human sexuality, exploring the interaction between personality and sexual function. Lowen shows that disturbances in personality can be linked directly with sexual issues and that fulfillment in sexual love can be achieved only by being in touch with one's own body and feelings.
