Don't Hold My Head Down

Product Information

Myös tantraseksistä ja seksifestareista puhuminen etäännytti itseäni, ihan kuin seksi olisi jotenkin pienen piirin hallitsema salaisuus. Determined not to let this stop her, Lucy penned a list and set out to discover what her sex life was missing. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Heck, we live in a country where the idea of being naked in a German sauna with other people, or stripping to wash at an Icelandic swimming pool might cause people to cancel entire holiday plans, and that's where the wheels come off for me in terms of relevance to how I personally define my interest in sex. Holme's challenges society’s patriarchy by discussing significant issues in historical literature and legislation.

A cada página, o despertar de uma semelhança, um "afinal não sou a única" proclamado com espanto, um novo olhar ao espelho, uma nova vontade do olhar do outro. It's not often that one comes across a work so honest, brave, and filled with a wealth of fascinating facts and invaluable tips about the vessel we live in every single day. The first part of the book is desperately sad in places, and the bad relationship that the author shared with sex at that time is well-explained and fully understood. A lot of the author's thoughts, feelings and experiences really struck home to me and it was so reassuring to read them. Without Holmes’ Bridget-Jones-esque timbre the book would risk coming off as just another banal think piece about female sexuality or a downright depressing report on the perceptions of female pleasure and bodies.When it came to sex she still felt like a novice: she lacked confidence and felt incapable of asking for what she wanted. I have a big personal disconnect with the idea that the author has gone from being a sexually dominated person, with a limited understanding of the dynamics of sex, to being an Everest-conquering shagger. Myöskään muut vähän samaa aihepiiriä sivuavat viime aikoina ilmestyneet kirjat kuten Runkkarin käsikirja tai Himokirja eivät vaan mitenkään tyyliltään viehätä, olen yrittänyt lukea niitä, mutta en päässyt ekaa kymmentä sivua pidemmälle. At times, the jolly tone and self-depricating humour got on my nerves (the latter is fortunately lost more and more), sometimes all the tantra praising was a bit much and I'd really prefer it if authors didn't feel like they need to equate women with vaginas and men with penisses in every other sentence.

So, she made a fuckit list of the things she d like to try - among them slow sex, ejaculation, different types of orgasm, being sexual with other women, BDSM, sex parties and making porn and set out on a journey of discovery.Vaikka kirjassa muuten olikin loistavasti isompaa yhteiskunnallista otetta, näissä kohdin se jäi hauraaksi. Että vasta kun tiedät tantran kaikki kujeet ja saat ne 14 erilaista orgasmia (… suhtaudun tähän vähän skeptisyydellä) olet boss oman seksuaalisuutesi kanssa. It takes the idea of explicit consent much further, also demonstrating that within sexual encounters, each partner can slide between the various stages of the wheel throughout their encounter.
