Sexcatraz

In 2017, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual harassment, assault, and rape. The allegations broke the silence about the sexual abuse that has plagued not just the film industry but society at large. Around the world, victims vented their outrage using the #MeToo hashtag.

Media attention and public discourse focused on high-profile cases like Weinstein. Why this widespread abuse exists remains largely unasked, let alone answered.

Sexcatraz changes that.

Fittingly using 30 films as psychological case studies, this ground-breaking book reveals a hitherto hidden prison of sexual shame so pervasive it’s been normalised into invisibility.

Sexcatraz meticulously maps the prison of unconscious sexual shame, laying bare the toll it takes on individuals and relationships. It dismantles societal taboos, challenging long-held beliefs and encouraging readers to question the cultural norms that cause millions of people to struggle with sexual dysfunction and perpetuate misogyny, porn addiction, and #MeToo.
