Bad Sex Truth, Pleasure and an Unfinished Revolution is a bold, vulnerable memoir by writer Nona Willis Aronowitz that examines desire, feminism, and the search for authentic intimacy. Presented as a 336-page hardcover from Penguin, it blends personal storytelling with nearly two hundred years of sexual and political history.
At thirty-two, everything in the author's life felt in disarray: a marriage falling apart, a family slipping away, and a heart and libido in overdrive. In the middle of that turmoil she turned to the words of history's sexual revolutionaries, including her late mother, the pioneering pro-sex feminist Ellen Willis, to ask a deceptively simple question: what, exactly, do I want?
This book places that question alongside the stories of ambivalent wives, free lovers, radical lesbians, sensitive men, and women who buy, reject, and rethink sex entirely. The result is a candid exploration of what sexual freedom can actually mean in an era where sex feels more accepted and feminism more mainstream than ever.
