In her new book, Kim Cattrall talks about sexual attraction, fantasies, taboos and physical chemistry.
Kim Cattrall launched her new book, "Sexual Intelligence," last week – and insists no one was better qualified to write it.
The subject matter is not new to Kim Cattrall, 49, who wrote another book about sex - "Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm" -- in 2002.
"Honey, when it comes to sexual intelligence, you can call me Ms Einstein," she told reporters.
"This is a fantasy job I created for myself," Kim Cattrall says of the book.
"Sexual Intelligence," according to Kim, attempts to explain why and how men and women feel sexual desire and how world culture and nature influence our impulses and attitudes toward sex.
The full-color book includes numerous photos of classic paintings and sculptures that celebrate the human body.
For the project, Kim Cattrall traveled to the ancient streets of Pompeii, where sexually explicit art was commonplace; to the erotic Secret Museum in Naples; to Dorset, England, where there is a 2,000-year-old earthwork figure of a naked man; and the beaches of Cyprus, where the love goddess Aphrodite is said to have been born.
