What We Want In The Dark: The Psychology of Taboo Desire, Fetish, and the Shadow Self (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183911787)

What kind of person does this make me?

That is the question this book was written for. Not the desire itself, whatever it is, wherever it lives, however long you have been carrying it. The question that comes after. The verdict you handed yourself before you had any of the evidence.

What We Want in the Dark is a book about desire, shame, and what actually lives in the dark when you finally stop being afraid to look. It draws on psychology and neuroscience, but mostly it is honest about the things people feel in private and never say out loud.

The darkness was never the problem. The silence was.
