BOOK DESCRIPTION

From Adam, Eve, and the Serpent to financier Warren Buffett, Susie Buffett, and Astrid Menks, the menage a trois has long been part of he landscape of human love. Explored in literature and flirted with in films, this lovestyle is taboo for some and the private daydream of countless others. But the menage has also been the daily, loving reality of a remarkable number of people throughout history and in modern times as well.
Barbara Foster, Michael Foster, and Letha Hadady are writers and scholars who themselves are involved in an ongoing, loving partnership and are thus remarkably well suited as commentators on this unconventional lifestyle. In this book based on extensive research, they trace the menage a trois over the centuries—both in real life and as portrayed in art—and offer a deft and compelling portrait of three-fold love. In addition, hey reveal the truth about the world's best-known trios, from biblical patriarch Abraham, his wife Sarah, and he handmaiden Hagar to Henry and June Miller and Anaïs Nin and even Beat writer Jack Kerouac and Neal and Carolyn Cassady.

The authors differentiate clearly between a love triangle and a menage a trois: the "bloody" triangle generally springs out of an affair or adultery, and one of the three is excluded. In a menage on the other hand, all three participants have equal status and input, and, most important, the relationship is entered into by mutual decision and consent.

Fascinating reading for anyone interested in human sexuality, sexual ethics, or the future of fundamental relationships, Three in Love makes an intelligent and solid case for the menage a trois as an alternative to the standard two-person partnership ad answers the current cry for "family values" with a wide reworking of the traditional family unit.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Molly Roden Winter was a mother of small children with a husband, Stewart, who often worked late. One night when Stewart missed the kids’ bedtime—again—she stormed out of the house to clear her head. At a bar, she met Matt, a flirtatious younger man. When Molly told her husband that Matt had asked her out, she was surprised that Stewart encouraged her to accept.

So began Molly’s unexpected open marriage and, with it, a life-changing journey of self-discovery. Molly signs up for dating sites, enters into passionate flings, and has sex in hotels and public places around New York City. For Molly it’s a mystery why she wants what she wants. In therapy sessions, fueled by the discovery that her parents had an open marriage, too, she grapples with her past and what it means to be a mother and a whole person.

Molly and Stewart, who also begins to see other people, set ground rules: Don’t date an ex. Don’t date someone in the neighborhood. Don’t go to anyone’s home. And above all, don’t fall in love. In the years that follow, they break most of their rules, even the most important one. They grapple with jealousy, insecurity, and doubts, all the while wondering: Can they love others and stay true to their love for each other? Can they make the impossible work?

More is an electric debut that offers both steamy fun and poignant reflections on motherhood, daughterhood, marriage, and self-fulfillment. With warmth, humor, and style, Molly Roden Winter delivers an unputdownable journey of a woman becoming her most authentic self.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

From South Park to Kathy Acker, and from Lars Von Trier to Sex and the City, women's sexual organs are demonized. Emma L. E. Rees traces the fascinating evolution of this demonization, considering how calling the 'c-word' obsene both legitimizes and perpetuates the fractured identities of woman globally. The Vagina: A Literary and Cultural History demonstrates how writers, artists and film-makers contend with the dilemma of the vagina's puzzlingly 'covert visibility'.

In our postmodern, porn-obessed culture, vaginas appear to be everywhere. literally or symbolically but, crucially, they are as silenced as they are objectified. The Vagina examines the paradox of female genitalia through the fields of artistic expression: literature, film, TV, visual art and performance art.

What happens when the female body refuses to be pathologized, eroticized, or rendered subordinate to the will or intention of another? Common, and often offensive, slang terms for the vagina can be seen as an attempt to divert attaction away from the reality of women's lived sexual experiences so that we don't 'look' at the vagina itself - slang offers a convenient distraction from something so taboo. The Vagina: A Literary  and Cultural History is an important contribution to the ongoing debate in understanding women's identities.

ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ ΒΙΒΛΙΟΥ

Τι θέλεις όταν δε σε βλέπει κανείς; Τι φαντασιώνεσαι όταν σβήνουν τα φώτα; Όταν σκέφτεσαι το σεξ, τι θέλεις πραγματικά;

Όταν μιλάμε για το σεξ, μιλάμε για τη γυναικεία υπόσταση και τη μητρότητα, την απιστία και την εκμετάλλευση, τη συναίνεση και το σεβασμό, τη δίκαιη μεταχείριση και την κοινωνική ισότητα, την αγάπη και το μίσος, την ηδονή και τον πόνο. Κι ωστόσο πολλές από μας δε μιλάνε γι’ αυτό καθόλου.

Σ’ αυτό το πρωτοποριακό βιβλίο, η Τζίλιαν Άντερσον επιλέγει και προλογίζει τις ανώνυμες σεξουαλικές φαντασιώσεις εκατοντάδων γυναικών απ’ όλο τον κόσμο (μεταξύ αυτών και η δική της ανώνυμη φαντασίωση).

Τα κείμενα είναι εκπληκτικά: ξεχειλίζουν πόθο, φόβο, οικειότητα, ντροπή, ικανοποίηση και, τελικά, απελευθέρωση. Φαντασιώσεις για έναν απαγορευμένο παρτενέρ ή για πολλαπλούς συντρόφους, για σεξ γλυκό και τρυφερό ή παθιασμένο και παιχνιδιάρικο, γραμμένες από γυναίκες που δεν έχουν καμία σεξουαλική εμπειρία ή από γυναίκες που έχουν αμέτρητες, αυτές οι επιστολές ανοίγουν ένα παράθυρο στο πιο κρυφό κομμάτι του μυαλού μας.

Το θέλω αποκαλύπτει πώς νιώθουν οι γυναίκες για το σεξ όταν είναι τελείως ελεύθερες να είναι ο εαυτός τους.

Το θέλεις εσύ;
