"In Sex, Drugs & Chocolate, Paul Martin looks at changing attitudes to pleasure over the centuries, including religious and legal attempts to control it, together with the biological and psychological drivers behind our hedonistic impulses. He considers sensation-seekers from Nero to Elvis, pleasure's opposites boredom, unhappiness and pain - and chemical pleasures from caffeine and cannabis to alcohol and heroin. He writes about sex in all its many forms, both social and solitary; the mysteries of the orgasm; shopping, eating, gambling and other behavioural pleasures; addiction and the darker side of pleasure's many moons; and finally the modest and undervalued pleasures of everyday life, such as gardening, sleeping and, of course, chocolate."--BOOK JACKET.
