"I need a little sugar in my bowl, I need a little hot dog, on my
roll I can stand a bit of loving, oh so bad, I feel so funny, I
feel so sad". (Bessie Smith). When it comes to sex, what do women
want? In this eye-opening and courageous collection, Erica Jong
reveals that every woman has her own answer. Susan Cheever talks
about the excruciating hazards of casual sex, while Gail Collins
recounts her Catholic upbringing in Cincinnati and the nuns who
passionately forbade her from having carnal relations. In
"Everything Must Go", Jennifer Weiner explores how, in love, the
body can play just as big a role as the heart. The octogenarians in
Karen Abbott's sharp-eyed piece possess a passion that could give
Betty White a run for her money. Molly Jong-Fast reflects on her
unconventional upbringing and why a whole generation of young women
have rejected free love in favor of Bugaboo strollers and
Mommy-and-me yoga. Sex, it turns out, can be as fleeting, heavy,
mundane, and intense as the rest of life. Indeed, Jong states in
her powerful introduction the truth is-sex is life. Contributors:
