Download or read book Desire written by Lisa Solod Warren and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating collection of essays, Desire delves headfirst into its subject matter and explores the complexity of desire with essays about the things women want, crave, lust after, and covet. An extraordinary group of writers tackle difficult and taboo subjects, from Debra Magpie Earling’s desire to hurt someone, to New York Times writer S. S. Fair’s less than diminishing sensual and sexual desire, despite her increasing age, to Julia Serano’s strong emotional impulse to be a woman before she decided to transition from male to female. Many of these essayists examine the feelings and experiences which surround the things they want but can’t—or shouldn’t—have. The reasons such desires are taboo are often personal and range from social conventions and religious teachings to more concrete laws and rules. Desire makes the private public and illuminates the rich and varied desires women have.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Write to Restore shows survivors of sexual abuse how to heal through journaling and personal writing. Writing Ourselves Whole is a collection of essays and creative writing encouragements for sexual trauma survivors who want to risk writing a different story. Each short chapter offers encouragement, experience, and exercises. When you can find language for the stories that are locked inside, you can change your life. Talk therapy can only go so far for the millions of Americans struggling in the aftermath of sexual abuse and sexual assault. Sexual assault survivors can heal themselves. Sexual trauma survivor communities (and their allies) have the capacity to hold and hear one another's stories—we do not have to relegate ourselves solely to the individual isolation of the therapist's office. What you’ll learn inside Writing Ourselves Whole: How to reconnect with your creative instinct through freewriting How freewriting can help you reclaim the parts of yourself and your history How “restorying” the old myths about sexual trauma survivors can set you free If you have read books such as Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, Natalie Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones, or Louise DeSalvo’s Writing as a Way of Healing, you will want to read Writing Ourselves Whole. Praise for Writing Ourselves Whole “A raw, powerful, necessary, wise and practiced guidebook to the revolutionary practice of finding the words, language and voice to transform suffering.” —Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues “Rich, intelligent, passionate, intimate, honest and encouraging . . . This book is a treasure trove!” —Ellen Bass, author of The Courage to Heal

Download or read book Yes Means Yes written by Jaclyn Friedman and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking look at rape, edited by writer and activist Jaclyn Freidman and Sex Object author Jessica Valenti, dismantles the way we view rape in our culture and replaces it with a genuine understanding and respect for female sexual pleasure. In the original edition, feminist, political, and activist writers alike presented their ideas for a paradigm shift from the "No Means No" model--and the results were the groundbreaking shift to affirmative consent ("Yes Means Yes," as coined by the book) that we know today. With a timely new introduction, refreshed cover, and the timeless contributions of authors from Kate Harding to Jill Filipovic, Yes Means Yes brings to the table a dazzling variety of perspectives and experiences focused on the theory that educating all people to value female sexuality and pleasure leads to viewing women differently, and ending rape. Yes Means Yes has radical and far-reaching effects: from teaching men to treat women as collaborators and not conquests, encouraging men and women that women can enjoy sex instead of being shamed for it, and ultimately, that our children can inherit a world where rape is rare and swiftly punished.

Book excerpt: El libro More Than Two se publicó en el año 2014 y pronto se convirtió en un referente del poliamor, ya que se centra en exclusiva en este tipo de relaciones y ofrece multitud de casos prácticos y consejos útiles para su buen funcionamiento. Más allá de la pareja es la guía más reciente sobre poliamor ético. En sus 25 capítulos, los autores van y vienen de la teoría a la práctica. Eve Rickert y Franklin Veaux han recogido a lo largo de 20 años sus experiencias y las de cientos de miembros de la comunidad poliamorosa norteamericana. Este manual es una herramienta útil tanto para las personas que están empezando a pensar sus relaciones de forma poliamorosa como para quienes viven el poliamor desde hace tiempo y quieren encontrar ideas, reflexiones e historias de personas que han buscado relacionarse emocionalmente de forma ética y no monógama durante años. Los autores abordan los cuidados, las negociaciones, el veto, los derechos de las personas que tienen una relación con alguien que ya tiene pareja, las jerarquías en las relaciones y si estas tienen sentido, la confianza, el empoderamiento, los celos, la honestidad y la comunicación en relaciones no monógamas. Este libro no solo derriba los mitos de la monogamia, también algunos de los mitos de las relaciones no monógamas, Eve Rickert y Franklin Veaux nos invitan a cuestionar desde dónde decidimos querernos, escriben sobre el riesgo, el miedo y el crecimiento. No es posible abrirse al poliamor si no queremos habitar nuestra vulnerabilidad y no es posible amarnos sin asomarnos radicalmente a las necesidades y deseos de aquellas personas con las que caminamos.
