Inquiry: Daniel Bergner - The Other Side of Desire:Four Journeys Into The Far Realms of Lust and Longing

When does lust become sexual obsession? When do these obsessions become untenable and illegal? Can love and obsession ever co-exist? Tonight on Inquiry,  these difficult questions about sex and longing are discussed when we talk with DANIEL BERGNER, staff writer for the New York Times Magazine. Bergner has written a complex and difficult book about four people who have a paraphilia, a longing that exists outside the norms dictated by society. This is a challenging discussion that touches on issues like the differences in sexual expression between men and women and how the medical community treats the people who have a paraphilia. Bergner’s revealing and thought-provoking book is titled: THE OTHER SIDE OF DESIRE: FOUR JOURNEYS INTO THE FAR REALMS OF LUST AND LONGING.
