I really liked Sheila Kitsinger's book on sex, because it acknowledged we were not all young, beautiful, able-bodied and/or straight. It also had celibacy as a sexual choice and not necessarily an asexual one.

Storey's book 'Solitude' was also interesting about passion and energy - Acknowledged that work, art, religion, charity and friendship could be equally healthy outlets as romantic love and sexual expression - it is modern (post-modern?) obsession to see that sexual/romantic relationship is central to psychological health and well-being.

And so to bed after the night shift!
