| Summary: | Esther Díaz's book explores the complex relationship between sexuality and power, arguing that sexuality, a concept born during modernity, has undergone significant transformation and decline due to overexposure and societal changes. The book delves into themes such as narcissism, hedonism, and the impact of societal structures like family, religion, and medicine on sexual discourse. Díaz engages with the philosophical inquiries of figures like Michel Foucault, who sought to trace the history of sexuality but found it to be a modern construct. The work examines the cultural and historical factors that contributed to the evolution and eventual dissolution of sexual norms and discusses the broader implications of power dynamics on sexual identity and behavior. The book is intended for readers interested in philosophy, cultural studies, and the sociology of sexuality.
