The Secret Sex Life of a Single Mom [Paperback]

Delaine Moore (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 14, 2012

For seven years, Delaine Moore devoted herself to being the perfect wife and stay-at-home mom. Then, one day, she discovers her husband's infidelities, and suddenly she finds herself in a new role: 37 years old, mother of three . . . and going through a divorce. In the midst of this emotional turmoil, Moore discovers that her long-dormant libido has suddenly come alive—and, surprising even herself, she decides to listen to what it’s saying.

The Secret Sex Life of a Single Mom is the funny and empowering story of the physical and spiritual self-discovery that results from Moore’s sexual awakening. Connecting with a fiery, daring side of her personality that has been subsumed by motherhood and marriage, Moore tries out everything from sex clubs and young gigolos to bondage and multi-partner sex—testing her limits, reclaiming her body, and taking control of her life along the way. More than the story of a woman’s breaking and remaking after divorce, The Secret Sex Life of a Single Mom is a humorous, thoughtful exploration of what it means to be a mother and a sexual being, and a reminder that when life slams you down, a little fire won’t burn you—it will awaken you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for any mom who is navigating divorce process March 22, 2012

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is an inspiration for any mom who's going through a separation and/or divorce, and wondering "what happens to my love life now?!" or "Will I ever have a love life again?" Delaine Moore chronicles her adventures in dating (post-divorce) with extreme candor and humor, and gives the reader real hope that anything is possible if you let yourself experience a sex life without regard to other people's opinions or attitudes. It's about you and making yourself happy -- no strings attached. It will make you laugh and cry. It will make you think about your marriage and why it didn't work, and maybe give you some "a-ha" moments.

This book will give you courage to start dating again, if that's what you need (she discusses lots of online escapades, too). And, it will be hard to put it down once you start reading it. It's that good--thoroughly enjoyable and a great escape!

Being a single mom, I could relate to this story on many levels. It made me laugh. I love how candid she was. I also give her credit for dedicating the book to her mother. There is no way I would want to share with my mother, the dildo scene in Las Vegas! OMG and I'm pretty open with my mother. I ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED IT!!

I have to say I really enjoyed this book. I read it in less than two weeks. It was like a company to compare in some ways and in other understand and learn about others, beside laugh which I really need sometimes. I would recommend to any women that wants to see itself and understand some sides that sometimes is hard to share with others.
