This is not a book to pick up and read like a novel. The vocabulary is not mainstream. The book has glossaries totalling 42 pages to enable the reader to identify and comprehend the information. Another is narratophilia where sexual arousal is dependent upon using words or telling stories considered pornographic in the presence of a partner. Money relates that we develop lovemaps as children, that the years five to eight are the most impressionable, that distortions from the socially acceptable occur from contact with persons outside the child's age group, and that these distortions can result from either sexual experiences or nonsexual experiences providing the child was sexually aroused by the event.
Money likens the development of one's lovemap to the development of language.
That is, we are born with what is necessary to learn many different languages. The one we learn is the one we experience. The lovemap we learn is dependent upon our experiences and environment. I tend to believe that human beings are not born knowing innately how to function sexually with each other. I believe much sexual behavior is learned and could be taught.
