After simplifying emotional relationships in Amor na vitrine , Regina Navarro Lins reveals the mysteries surrounding sex in the release Sexo na vitrine .
Who's afraid to talk about sex? What's taboo? Is there a right way to approach the subject? Bestselling author and psychoanalyst Regina Navarro Lins shows the way in *Sex in the Showcase* , starting from the moment the patriarchal system was established and the sociocultural developments seen to this day. The author continues her literary project of mapping the trends that were emerging and materialized around love and sex, the two major themes of her specialty.
After delving into romantic relationships in the modern world in "Love in the Showcase ," in "Sex in the Showcase ," the reader is confronted with the exploration of yet another complex topic that occupies a significant space in everyday life: how has sex shaped a society undergoing constant transformation—and been transformed in the process? Through small, textual fragments, Regina Navarro Lins provokes, informs, and leads to reflections on the possible trajectories of constantly changing affective-sexual relationships.
In addition to her clinical practice, the author of "The Bed on the Balcony" has dedicated herself to researching issues involving relationships and sexuality, based on the History of Mentalities: a study of collective feelings and behaviors in a given place or period of humanity. Her research is guided by questions about the emergence of love, the evolution of sex, the division of roles in society and how this division contributed to the formation of patriarchy, the structure of life as a couple (or more), and the possibility of being happy alone, with one or more emotional and sexual partners.
Like love, if sex is now on display, according to Regina Navarro Lins, it's because of the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s, which enabled the overthrow of obscurantist practices. Combating the idea of female inferiority, the virginity taboo, discrimination against divorced people, and the justification of crimes of passion in the name of supposed honor have become priority objectives for the new generations—and also for the more enlightened older generations—who are finally able to fully embrace their sexuality and identity.
In this showcase, the reader will have tools to see others and themselves, their emotions and feelings exposed for analysis by anyone who passes by. Sex in the Showcase is a provocative and enriching read about the challenges and struggles still faced today against centuries of sexual repression. A book that reclaims freedom, desires, and pleasures.
