Susie is a masterful advocate for all things sexy. I enjoyed getting to know her more through this free-form, lengthy personal essay... though the book jacket is a little misleading. This volume is not the workbook-style I thought it would be. It's more akin to Marianne Williamson's A Woman's Worth in style -- a partly autobiographical exploration of the author's vision of creative freedom and abundant life for everyone. It reads like a very encouraging conversation over coffee, often stepping s...more
Any writer who is able to write intelligently about sex gets at least four stars from me. When is the last time you read in any book or magazine, the following: “There is only one “secret” to prolonging one's erection before climbing, it is common to every corporate limits by: masturbation.”? This is an example of the kind of forthright insight that you find throughout many of Susie Bright’s twenty essays. Bright is one of the few writers today that I know of anyway who talks openly and honestly...more
When I started this book, I really expected to love it. The opening passage - like many throughout - is a deliciously quotable statement on eroticism. But it establishes a high bar that the full text unfortunately fails to meet. Bright's essays are articulate and engaging, but they deliver very little that is new or memorable. In that sense, it's good that her eloquence compels so much quote-flagging. Without a record to return to, even the more powerful passages would likely fade into oblivion...more
Oh Susie. I so enjoy your narrative voice, even if you use an excess of scare quotes. However, this book was just too scattered. You ask some good questions! But then, you just ask other, pretty unrelated questions. So I can't really remember what the book was about, exactly. However, you are invited to brunch at my house any old time.
Uhm why haven't I read Susie Bright before? I think it's my bratty contrariness because more than one friend has recommended her writing. In any case it's delightful to discover this collection of essays on sexual creativity. Good to read alone or with a friend.
This is a must-read for anyone working with sex as a topic of writing, thinking, scholarship, or activism. I wish it was longer. But I also love how many times Bright writes snappy summations of American problems with sex and sexual expression. Brilliant!
Not what I expected! I had bought this book years ago on a whim and decided to discard it on a online bookswap site, and just when i was supposed to mail it away I decided to read part of it. Hysterical! I ended up cancelling the swap and keeping the book because it is just so odd and interesting and silly at the same time! Bright writes very well, makes taboo subjects approachable and open to discussion.
People don't want to hear that their religious feeling is erotic . . . (p.7)
but they sooo are. at least to me.

This book was a quick read that had some good insight into the culture that we've created around sex and how much it limits our sexual expression.
Ah-mazing! I love Susie Bright. I thought this would be a workbook, but it was still great.
