however being someone who has cried from the intensity of an orgasm before, and who speaks about the need to be open and vulnerable in order to make a relationship work, i’m still incredibly put off by the title. i think it perpetuates that idea that women only see sex in an emotional way. only men can fuck in the physical sense, but women need to be taken care of and coddled.
of course the contributers will be both men and women and the previous statement can be true of both genders, but i really hope the book includes passages from women who really like to fuck and get pounded because it feels good… and give the guy a hug and let him go on his way. not cry and open up their journal to pen an entry about how “daddy didnt love me enough” or why theyre “objectified by men” or “why didnt he call me back” or whatever.—If no one else brings the rough sex that ends in tears not out of some emotional response to absent fathers but fucking gratitude at being taken over another edge, trust that I will, nudawn. (Also, dudes will go there, too. Also, we’ve got folks from all over the gender spectrum writing about sex from all over the sex spectrum — already the book is way more complicated than ‘what ladies want, what men want.’ It all ends in tears, but how we got there is the point, and how we got there has nothing to do with ladies weeping into their laptops in prettily mussed up beds, promise.)
