The book also discusses "graysexual" identities that fall on the spectrum between allosexual and asexual, highlighting the growing recognition of non-monosexual orientations. Moreover, it explores recent studies that shed light on sexual behavior in cultures that have previously been the subject of limited research, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of human sexuality.
Sex and disability are also explored in the book, emphasizing the importance of considering sexual diversity and inclusivity in the context of individuals with disabilities. The text provides "take-home messages" to empower readers to implement beneficial changes in their lives, promoting a greater understanding and appreciation of the science of sex and sexual diversity.
