Writer and journalist, Time and New York Times correspondent Richard Bernstein analyzes the difference between the sexual cultures of East and West.
This book is about European morality and Asian honor, about sex and power, about slavery and passion, about prohibitions and sophisticated caresses, about why Europeans have always been so irresistibly attracted to oriental dope, about the sweet “you can” and no less sweet “you can’t” . Writer and journalist, Time and New York Times correspondent Richard Bernstein lived for a long time in Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, traveled the world, but Asia turned out to be his love. Bernstein examines the difference between the sexual cultures of East and West in all its subtleties, with historical examples and with the practice of today. Great to read on long autumn evenings. Or winter — also very long.
