When, thirty years after my first reading, I threw myself into writing Lie With Me, it’s The Lover that I placed in front of me, on my desk, in plain view. īesson, in a piece published in January, 2020, writes about the significance to him of the novel The Lover by Marguerite Duras.

Clair is a good writer, actually, when it comes to the technical aspect of things. I was literally the Ryan Gosling gif I used above at some parts of the book. I tried, I really did, but honestly my enjoyment of the book increased once I realized I couldn’t take it seriously. It makes no sense to me and authors don’t really try to convince me that that’s what should happen. I don’t read erotica I’ve tried in the past, and it just makes my little ace self uncomfortable because I can’t connect to why the characters would want to jump right into bed with each other. Okay, to be totally fair, this is a little bit outside of my comfort zone. I pretty much couldn’t in order to get to why some stuff bugged me.

First, the article reveals and analyses Money's indebtedness in conceptualising paraphilia to a nineteenth-century sexological model of perversion, based on a notion of the ‘natural’ gone awry, which stands in contradiction to his explicit political distancing from ideas of ‘nature’ in favour of the social constructionist concept of the ‘lovemap’. It argues that Money's writing on paraphilia in the 1980s and 1990s, while both prolific and influential for clinical practice, has been ignored by historians and critics who have instead paid attention to his controversial pioneering work on gender identity and sex reassignment. This article considers the treatment of the concept of paraphilia in the work of sexologist John Money (1921–2006).
