Erotic Reality -- Telling it like it is., 29 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Susie Bright tells us what we know in our hearts to be true, about sex, truth, and living with both.Full Exposure is Bright addressing so many of the questions we all struggle with, every day: What do I want, how do I know? How do I tell someone else? What if they don't like it? How do I get it? Am I attractive? Am I afraid? Am I Good? and on and on. She addresses these questions coming straight from reality -- expect no fluffy simple answers here, for example, here is Bright talking about talking with kids about sex: ---------start quote----------- My daughter and I were watching TV the other day, and a scene came on where a boy tries to kiss a girl, and she protests, pushing him away. "They always do that," Aretha said. "Why does the girl always push the kisser away?" And I knew what the next question was, because she also sees how that same darn girl ends up kissing that same boy in the end. Now I had my whole little spiel lined up, and I was ready to go about how sexist most movies are, and how women are always played for virgin fools or whorish demons. But Aretha's question was so deep, deeper than my Hollywood critique. What do I want to tell her about being a woman, and about what women want from sex? I realize that I want her to know, right off the bat, that I'm still answering that question for myself. -------------end quote--------- At the end of the book is a chapter offering a series of, well sort of "thought experiments". I can't wait to try out the ones I haven't done yet.
