Pleasure
€ 21.25
ISBN: 9781785125041
Pleasure explores the ways in which women have been systematically disconnected from their bodies throughout history and the transformative power of reclaiming that connection through pleasure.
From the cultural mythology of sex as something women give and men take, to the historical demonization of female pleasure through witch trials and religious doctrine. Pleasure traces the ways in which womens bodies have been turned into religious battlegrounds.
Yet, it also reveals the radical, healing power of reclaiming pleasure as an act of resistance and joy.
Drawing on personal experiences, cultural analysis and interviews with experts, Pleasure unpacks the myths weve inherited - from the virginity ideal to the male-centric view of sex - and how they affect womens lives today. By weaving historical context with contemporary stories, it offers a radical yet hopeful roadmap for women to reconnect with their bodies, rewrite their sexual stories and, ultimately, cultivate more pleasure-filled lives.
