    If you would like to read the
synopses of these 11 chapters in one continuous file,
these are also available in an older version.
This earlier version also has the original working title of this book.
And a careful comparison of the earlier synopses
with the current synopses (linked from above)
will show how each has been revised over the years.
In most cases, the original synopsis has been shortened
to make it fix exactly one page of the printed text.



    You are also invited to read a history of the writing of this book:
"How I Wrote My First Book on Sex".

BEING BOTH THE AUTHOR AND A READER

    If you are a literary agent or publisher interested in this book,

Transcending Our Imprinted Sex-Scripts

    Imprinted Sexual Fantasies: A New Key for Sexology
offers a new hypothesis for explaining human sexuality:
Each human person is imprinted with specific sex-scripts
or sexual fantasies during our first 20 years of life.
Our first sexual responses are created
not by nature, not by nurture, but by mental imprinting.
If this hypothesis proves substantially correct,
it could revolutionize modern sexology.
