A first-person autobiographical account of one man's disillusionment with sex and transmutation of his sexuality, via sublimated erotica, into an approach to sex which is purely theoretical in its analysis of the probable connections between sex and politics, not least in terms of a given political orientation having a corresponding or correlative sexual orientation which may or may not be the motive for such a politics in the first place. This little book is nothing if not thought-provoking.

"Concerning THE POLITICS OF SEXUALITY" A six-chapter novella of first-person and loosely autobiographical tendency, THE POLITICS OF SEXUALITY explores the concept of sexual politics, or the notion that every mode of politics has a sexual corollary. Although such an idea was by no means new to his work at this time (1984), it hadn't been explored to anything like the same extent by Mr O'Loughlin before, and it is a theme to which he has since returned quite frequently, always seeking to improve upon his initial theories, which, through bitter experience over the years, he has learnt to regard as more of a springboard to better things than a definitive statement.
