It brings to the fore some complex issues associated with this topic using a range of substantive, epistemological, theoretical and methodological approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on international scholarship, the book examines sexuality from multiple, and at times, competing directions, exploring the continuum of sex from work through to carnal pleasure, and across specific sexual practices including BDSM, pornography, stripping, and sex work. Drawing on critical, feminist, queer, and post theoretical perspectives, the book charts a new direction for leisure studies and sex research, including diverse understandings of leisure practice, sex positivity, fringe and deviant sex practices. Critically, the book moves beyond merely establishing sex as a leisure pursuit to focusing on the compelling and complex intersections between sexuality and leisure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is fascinating reading for any student or researcher with an interest in leisure, sexuality, gender, cultural studies or sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiana C.
