Essays
We humans have been writing for over 5000 years (cuneiform, circa 3000 BC) and somewhere over that arc of history we developed the essay, perhaps one of the most effective literary forms of persuasion, argument and criticism in politics, history and daily life. We are dependent on essays for understanding, from long essays like John Locke’s, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and the works of Francis Bacon (1561-1626) and Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592) to Gore Vidal’s Pornography and the daily and weekly essays in The Atlantic, The New Yorker and digital media everywhere.
At Love & Sexcess, we curate the essays we think shed light on the shadows and shades of gray in human sexuality, in trying to bring further insight and understanding into everyday conversations about all things sexual.
Peruse. Enjoy!
