• Preface -- The heart of the matter -- Freud and the importance of sexuality -- Gender identity -- From difference to equality -- Choice of partner -- Sexual wanderings -- Love -- Sex makes the world go round

'With Sex Makes The World Go Round, Chiland, with her unique style of succinct lucidity, has provided answers for all we ever wanted to know, not only about sex, but also about love, tenderness, perversion, pornography, prostitution and gender and all its variations, with her unmistakable intelligence and vigour. Once again Chiland proves that she is not afraid to examine paradoxes and contradictions in her quest to understand these difficult issues in an honest and open manner. She challenges and provokes us to leave aside prejudices borne from fear and ignorance. Her thoughts and revelations are critical to our understanding of the complexities of shame and guilt. I could not put this book down: finally the definitive wisdom and truly unmissable.' - Dr Estela V. Welldon, MD DSc(Hon) F.R.C.Psych. Founder and Honorary President for life of the International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy, Author of Mother, Madonna, Whore
