'Naked: Confessions of Adultery and Infidelity was compiled not in an attempt to excuse or encourage unfaithfulness, but to understand it. We have learned that infidelity and adultery are rarely just about sex. That, for better or worse, and regardless of the morality involved, they are powerful and life-changing. That love and lust are complicated, and not for the faint-hearted. Naked is a sadder book than we expected, but it is also wiser. It is part of the collected wisdom of humankind in the truest sense of the words.' - from the Editors' Introduction (p.6)
