Three Books To Broaden Your Sexual Vocabulary
It's easy to define sex using the most common terms available to us, however those definitions barely scratch the surface when it comes to revealing the underlying nuances of an act that brings people together in innumerable, sometimes indescribable ways. Understanding the many facets of sex can be mind boggling, especially when we are not equipped to express any of the fascinating dynamics that occur within the cultural arena of sexual relationships. Fortunately, it is not up to us to invent words for these concepts--others have done that for us. Many books discussing sex are readily available, but only some give their readers new ways of looking at sex and gift them with words to interpret their own tastes and ask educated questions. Here are a few informative collections that will broaden any curious reader's mind and vocabulary. After all . . . communication is at the root of all sexual excitement.
Going Down: Lip Service From Great Writers
Chronicle Books
Going Down: Lip Service From Great Writers is a handy little volume that takes the baseness out of sex and raises it to an elevated, artistic form. Each story, excerpt, anecdote, poem, or essay by any of the famous writers (including Anais Nin, John Updike, Oscar Wilde, and Philip Roth just to name a few) presents a new way to envision, understand, or contemplate sex. The characters find themselves in situations where encounters may be unavoidable, in scenery that sets a specific tone, or where self-discovery is just as important as the discovery of another's physical body. With each section of the book, a new author presents sex in his or her perspective with the touch of a master's pen. Letters to Penthouse rehashes the same old words over and over again, but Going Down brings honesty, integrity, and quality to a subject which can be so easily be sordid, ugly, and unoriginal.
The Clitoral Truth
Rebecca Chalker
Seven Stories Press
This startling little compendium, one of myths exposed and facts revealed, discusses in depth the feminine source of pleasure: the clitoris. While possibly written with feminists in mind, The Clitoral Truth is a must-read for men and women alike, whatever their socio-political leanings. The no-nonsense writing, hand-illustrated diagrams, and almost journalistic tone are easily digested, as well as being chock-full of information. Chalker has researched her topic well and makes it readily accessible, complete with glossary of terms, references, and an amazing list of resources. People of both genders are still in the dark about the mysterious parts of a woman's body. The Clitoral Truth gives women ways of talking about a part of their body that 100 years ago they might not have even known existed; it gives men an opportunity to appreciate the physiological wonder that is a woman's nether region.
Different Loving
Brame, Brame, Jacobs
Century
Different Loving is an intriguing discussion of fetishes. Bondage, spanking, body modification . . . you want to know about it, it's in here. The interesting thing about this gem of a volume is the interviews with actual people who are members of the subculture of alternative sex acts. None of the stories advocate ways to increase the heat in the reader's bedroom, but they do serve an essential purpose--to broaden awareness of sexual variations and to prove that sex goes far beyond what some people can even imagine. Some readers may identify in part with what the interviewees feel, learning something about themselves along the way. Others may simply shed their insecurities about sex, realizing that each relationship has a unique energy relevant to each partner's personal source of pleasure. At the very least, readers can take away from Different Loving a new set of terms about alternative sexual dynamics that have regularly been hidden behind less specific labels.
Talking about sex is important--being informed about it is necessary. Nevertheless, good relationships depend upon good communication. Being able to talk about sex in diverse, informed ways can not only enhance your sex life, it can enhance your understanding of your partner. It's time to take one of these books to bed! |

I consider myself a sexual person as well, but I'm not as into public or outdoor sex as he is. It's not that I'm ashamed of my body, I'm 5'5" and very well proportioned. Blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin - been told I have a great smile!
Anyway, we were in my boyfriend's living room which has no curtains (needs a woman's touch) and it was night. Which meant that anyone outside could just see right in. He started kissing me and feeling my breasts over my blouse. I was getting really turned on but was worried about people seeing in. He convinced me it was late enough that everyone was asleep and no one would be walking by there.
I didn't need much convincing - by now he had slipped his hand under my blouse and was tracing his fingers around my rock hard nipples ever so slightly. It was making me incredibly wet!
As I kissed him long and slow with my tongue in his mouth, I undid the buttons on my blouse and he helped me slide it off. I pulled his t-shirt over his head and moved so I was straddling his lap. He was sitting on the couch and I was sitting with my knees on the couch on either side of him, pressing my crotch against his, while he sucked and licked my nipples and lightly bit my breasts.
I opened my eyes and realized I could see right out the window which was over the couch. |
