Annie Potts teaches critical sexuality studies in the Department of Gender Studies at the University of Canterbury, NZ. She also leads a national study, funded by the NZ Health Research Council on the social impact of sexuopharmaceuticals. Her previous publications include texts on critical psychology, gender and cultural studies and human/animal politics.
Potts' analysis of current trends in sexology are on the mark. She
offers an encyclopaedic overview of popular and scholarly writings
together with original research that will be well received in
sexuality, women's studies and cultural studies classes. - Leonore

The Science/Fiction of Sex is original, witty, extremely clever ...
it has some remarkable chapters, such as the one on masculinity
which I would rate among the best I've ever read. The analysis of
the alternative erotic-theoretical systems proposed by Irigaray and
Deleuze are first-class pieces of writing, daring and intelligent.
