Full Exposure audiobook

Any writer who is able to write intelligently about sex gets at least four stars from me. When is the last time you read in any book or magazine, the following: “There is only one “secret” to prolonging one's erection before climbing, it is common to every corporate limits by: masturbation.”? This is an example of the kind of forthright insight that you find throughout many of Susie Bright’s twenty essays. Bright is one of the few writers today that I know of anyway who talks openly and honestly about sex, erotica, porn, and related topics. Though I know she has her own website, if she hasn’t been writing for sites like Huffington Post or the New Yorker, she should be. Bright discusses a range of topics and issues, but I think the central theme seems to deal with sex and creativity–that is, how sex can be a source of creative energy and expression. However, many us can’t connect with sex and creative expression in this way mainly because of our culture’s denials about sex, and our inability to have real discussions concerning our libido. Some of her essays are a little self-centered; I often wish she wouldn’t discuss sex as if it existed in a vacuum. In other words, many of our culture’s sexual prohibitions are also situated in the political, religious, and economic spaces in which we live. Though she has been a political activists, I wish a couple of her essays talked about sex in relationship to overall politics and economics of society. I think many of use suffer from political and cultural alienation which has a great influence our negative sexual behaviors and views.Nevertheless, I was looking forward to reading this book—having read a previous anthology, Best Sex Writing. I have say that she has inspired me to write about my own sexual experiences and views, which is something more of us should do, including young adults.

This is a must-read for anyone working with sex as a topic of writing, thinking, scholarship, or activism. I wish it was longer. But I also love how many times Bright writes snappy summations of American problems with sex and sexual expression. Brilliant!

I will be re-reading this book again and again. Who needs therapy when they can find good feminist literature?I consider myself fairly self-aware but this book will help me improve in areas I never considered before.I don't know how else to review this book but it will definitely help save my life. =)

Uhm why haven't I read Susie Bright before? I think it's my bratty contrariness because more than one friend has recommended her writing. In any case it's delightful to discover this collection of essays on sexual creativity. Good to read alone or with a friend.

this book is smart. bright links our personal erotic/sexual lives to the political and envisions a world free of judgment and violence. i found this book very inspiring and empowering. there are some parts that are slightly dated, but overall a message a lot of people need to get.

I am happy to report that this book helped me learn to use Amazon's free Kindle app for Chrome, and that the experience did not suck! Yay for new ways to read! Also, Susie Bright is still made entirely out of awesome.

Ah-mazing! I love Susie Bright. I thought this would be a workbook, but it was still great.

I hate to call any book mandatory reading... but I think this one is.Just stellar.
