The cosmology of sex -- Desire and human sexuality -- Monasticism: just saying no to sex -- Curbing lust through meditation -- The deconstruction of sexual desire: wisdom as antidote -- Sexed bodies, gender, and sexual desires -- The construction of sexual deviance -- Buddhist sexual ethics: the evolution of sexual misconduct.

"More than twenty-five years in the making, this detailed sourcebook on Buddhist understandings of sexuality, desire, ethics, and deviance in classical South Asia is filled with both engaging translations and original and provocative analysis. Cabezón marshals an incredible array of scriptures, legal and medical texts, and philosophical treatises, explaining the subtleties of this ancient literature in lucid prose. This work will be of immense interest not only to scholars of Buddhism and gender studies but also to lay readers who want to learn more about traditional Buddhist attitudes toward sex"--Page 2 of dust jacket.
