Description
"Drawing on a wide range of examples, from personal ads to phone sex, from sadomasochistic scenes to sexual assault trials, the book provides a clear introduction to the relationship between language and sexuality. Using a broad definition of sexuality, the book encompasses not only issues surrounding sexual orientation and identity -- for instance whether gay men and lesbians use language differently from straight people -- but also questions about the discursive construction of sexuality and the verbal expression of erotic desire."
