Radio Curious brings you part one of a two-part conversation about the struggle to regulate the most powerful engine of human behavior-sexuality. We visit with Eric Berkowitz, the author of âSex and Punishment: Four Thousand Years of Judging Desire.â
Barry Vogel, Attorney and Counselor is the Host and Producer of Radio Curious. Christina Aanestad is the Assistant Producer.
âSex and Punishment: Four Thousand Years of Judging Desireâ is a story of the struggle to regulate the most powerful engine of human behavior. This engine that drives the human species is substantially different in us than in other mammals. In our million years of evolution, physically and socially we have developed the ability to communicate ideas and the expected, if not ârequiredâ behaviors of women and men and children regarding sexual thought, expression and procreation. The history of these ever changing definitions and controls of this fundamental aspect of our lives are visited in this two part series of conversations with Eric Berkowitz, recorded in the Radio Curious studios on December 29, 2012.
The books Eric Berkowitz recommends are âNemisis,â by Philip Roth, and âLove and Exile: An Autobiographical Trilogy,â by Issac Bashevis Singer.
