A self-described 'pleasure activist', Frueh's book offers a highly original perspective on pleasure  frank, scholarly, philosophical, romantic, and conversational. Taken together, the texts comprising \u003ci\u003eA Practice of Pleasure\u003c\/i\u003e are an ode to pleasure in the widest sense: female pleasure, sexual pleasure, and the pleasures of prosaic and domestic beauties, such as enjoying the reality of her own body and the luxurious simplicities of the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920566665374,"sku":"ING-9781526189325","price":56.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526189325.jpg?v=1782824164","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526189325","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
