Although they've grown up in a culture saturated with sex, women in their twenties and thirties have no sex book of their own. Sex and Single Girls fills this void with personal accounts of pleasure, fear, desire, risk, survival, heartbreak, and intimacy - everything that comes with exploring one's sexuality. Well-known writers and feminists treat topics ranging from online sex to abortion, from bisexuality to interracial relationships, creating a complex portrait of women's sexual experiences, activities, and preferences. Contributors include Lisa Jervis, publisher of Bitch magazine; Siobhan Brooks, contributor to Whores and Other Feminists; Leora Tanenbaum, author of Slut: Growing Up with a Bad Reputation; Tatiana de la Tierra, editor of the Latina magazine Conmoción; Michelle Tea, author of The Passionate Mistakes and Intricate Corruption of One Girl in America; and many others. Through their wise, humorous, and personally empowering writings, this collection explores women's sexual lives in all their passion and authenticity.

Sex and Single Girls: Straight and Queer Women on Sexuality,
By Seal Press (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex and Single Girls: Women Write on Sexuality (Live Girls) (Paperback)
"Sex and Single Girls is fresh, bold, revolutionary, and entertaining. Lee Damsky has brought together a diverse group of voices that illustrate just how complex, exciting, and ever-changing women's sexuality can be. It both interrogates and celebrates sexual identity, sexual power, and sexual satisfaction. This book is a must-read for every woman, (and person) who cares about sex--it proves that we have indeed come a long way, baby." --Tristan Taormino, Editor, On Our Backs

A great read!,
By Leeann (Birmingham, MI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex and Single Girls: Women Write on Sexuality (Live Girls) (Paperback)
_Sex and Single Girls_ is a must-read, as far as I'm concerned, especially if you're feeling like your sexual proclivities somehow alienate you from the rest of the world. This book ranges all over the sexual spectrum of smart, funny, sexy women. And, despite the title, not all of them are single, so don't let a serious commitment scare you away from giving this book a read! From the joys of being a tease to bondage to polyamory to porn...it's all discussed in here (along with much, much more)! The essays are often humorous, sometimes painfully sad, and, in almost every case, well-written and worth reading. Getting to know the contributors through their essays was one of my finest reading experiences in a long time, and I'd recommend it to anyone.
