QUILL & QUIRE BEST OF 2016 QUILL & QUIRE BEST COVER OF 2016
We think of the modern woman as sexually liberated if anything,
we're told we're oversexed. Yet a striking number of women are
dissatisfied with their sex lives. Over half of women report having
a sexual complaint, whether that's lack of desire or difficulty
reaching orgasm. But this issue doesn't get much press; the urge is
to ignore or medicalize it (witness the quest for 'pink Viagra').
If so many ordinary women suffer from sexual frustration, then
perhaps the problem isn't one that can be addressed by a
pharmaceutical fix or isn't a problem. Maybe we need to get hot and
bothered about a broader cultural cure: a reorienting of our
current male-focused approach to sex and pleasure, and a rethinking
of what's 'normal.' Using a blend of reportage, interview and
first-person reflection, journalist Sarah Barmak explores the
cutting-edge science and grassroots cultural trends that are
getting us closer to truth of women's sexuality. Closer reveals how
women are reshaping their sexuality today in wild, irrepressible
ways: nude meetings, how-to apps, trans-friendly porn, therapeutic
vulva massage, hour-long orgasms and public clit-rubbing
demonstrations and redefining female sexuality on its own terms.
Sarah Barmak is a Toronto-based freelance journalist and author.
Her writing has appeared in Maclean's, the Globe and Mail, the
Toronto Star, Canadian Business, Marketing, and Reader's Digest.
