Authoritative resource

I found Dr. Person's book at my local bookstop and was immediatly intrigued by not only the breadth of subjects covered but also the empirical data provided in explaining and dissecting sexual disorders and actions. I have used this book as a resource countless times in papers and studies, and even in explaining to others how sexual dysfunctions occur. This is a very hard book to sit down and read, as it takes a wealth of previous knowledge on the subject and some history behind it. It feels more like a textbook than a compilation of studies.If I were to recommend one book that encompasses sexual attitudes and behaviors this would be it.
