An anthropological look at the explosion of extreme fetishes and post-modern eroticisms at the beginning of the new millennium. Illustrations.

"Deviant Desires" is a lavishly illustrated guide to the most fascinating and decidedly obscure outposts of the immensely diverse sexual subcultures found today in our own backyards. Self-described pervert Katharine Gates takes us on an anthropological expedition, investigating the origins and practices of fanatically precise fetishes and po-mo eroticisms.
