Download or read book The Position of Spoons written by Deborah Levy and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From twice Booker-shortlisted author Deborah Levy, a feast of observations about everything from the particular beauty of lemons on a table, to the muses that have shaped her life, to the streets of Paris. In The Position of Spoons, Deborah Levy invites us into the interiors of her world, sharing her most intimate thoughts and experiences, as she traces and measures her life against the backdrop of the literary and artistic muses that have shaped her. From Marguerite Duras to Colette and Ballard, and from Lee Miller to Francesca Woodman and Paula Rego, we can relish here the richness of their work and, in turn, the richness of the author’s own. Each page draws upon Levy’s life in exalting ways, encapsulating the wonderful precision and astonishing depth of her writing, as she seamlessly shifts between and mediates on questions of morality, language, suburbia, gender, consumerism, and the poetics of everyday living. From the child born in South Africa, to her teenage years in Britain, to her travels across the world as a young woman, each page is a beautiful, tender composition of the questioning self: a portrait of Deborah Levy’s writing life and intellectual vitality in all its dimensions.
Download or read book Our Spoons Came from Woolworths written by Barbara Comyns and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I told Helen my story and she went home and cried.” So begins Our Spoons Came from Woolworths. But Barbara Comyns’s beguiling novel is far from tragic, despite the harrowing ordeals its heroine endures. Sophia is twenty-one and naïve when she marries fellow artist Charles. She seems hardly fonder of her husband than she is of her pet newt; she can’t keep house (everything she cooks tastes of soap); and she mistakes morning sickness for the aftereffects of a bad batch of strawberries. England is in the middle of the Great Depression, and the money Sophia makes from the occasional modeling gig doesn’t make up for her husband’s indifference to paying the rent. Predictably, the marriage falters; not so predictably, Sophia’s artlessness will be the very thing that turns her life around.
Download or read book Classic and current sexual positions Spice up your relationship with favorite sexual positions in wild and erotic ways written by and published by jideon francisco marques. This book was released on 2024-02-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION BEING EXCITED AND AROUSED FOR SEX is a wonderful feeling. For the most part, we could say this is half the battle—a requirement, even—but unfortunately, simply wanting sex is not always the be-all and end-all to having great sex. Sometimes, finding creative and fun ways to do it can be a challenge. Sex, like all things, can become monotonous, boring, or lackluster if done often enough in the same way. While not all people get tired of sex, even when they do it a lot, it can be nice to learn a new thing or two. With time our bodies change, and with experience so do our minds. Expanding our sexual repertoire can teach us not only about our partners but also about ourselves. A book on classic sex positions and their variations is not just for those seeking new variety, adventure, and possibilities. This is also a great guide for beginners who don’t know where to start, and for those who are curious about learning about sex and their bodies. But you don’t have to be a beginner or seeking excitement. There is something for everyone in these pages. Some important things to keep in mind as you explore these varieties of sex positions: ° Not every position is going to be great for everyone. Although there is probably a little something for every sexual being within these pages, it is important to remember that everybody is different. Some poses are harder for certain body types. Some poses will stimulate some and won’t do anything for others. If something doesn’t seem like it is working for you, don’t sweat it. Come back to it at a later time, or move on. ° Most sexual poses are easier if you feel comfortable in your environment and are relaxed. It is a little-known fact that when your muscles are relaxed your body is more open and flexible. Feeling safe with your partner helps and, of course, so does being aroused. And the two typically go hand-in-hand. ° Communicate with your partner. This may seem obvious, but it’s surprising how much we tend to hold back during sex. Don’t hesitate to get the conversation going around sex. Be generous with your words. Ask your partner how it feels, and let him or her know what is working for you and what isn’t. Telling your partner ahead of time what you like, dislike, are willing to do, and would like to explore are great ways to break the ice around sex and start building a sexual repertoire together. Communication can also be in the form of body language or moans and groans, which nonverbally suggest that something feels good. Be sure to pay attention to these. Last but not least, dirty talk is also a form of communication, especially when used during sex, and can take each variation to the next level. ° Remember that sex is not only about penetration. Learn to incorporate your hands, fingers, and mouth—not just your genitals. When we go into sex with just the genitals in mind, we inevitably ignore other aspects of feeling and touch. By making sex a full-body experience, we foster mind-body connection. The anus, perineum, testicles, breasts, and nipples (for both men and women) are all highly erogenous zones. Don’t ignore these areas! ° Sex does not have to be goal-oriented. The positions in this book focus on man-woman positions, so each variation involves an aspect of intercourse. This does not mean that intercourse must take place for the pose to be successful, nor does it mean that orgasm is a requirement either. Attempting the pose alone can provide a lot of fun and excitement. Remember to enjoy the experience and not focus on the goal of orgasm. ° Speaking of orgasm, considering the fact that most of the poses include an element of penis-vaginal penetration, it is important to note that vaginal orgasms are not the norm for a majority of women. While some women do experience the G-spot orgasm, this is not going to be true for every woman. The G-spot is located inside the vagina, on the anterior wall. More common is the clitoral orgasm. The clitoris is found outside of the vagina, near the front of her labia and above the urethra. The vagina does have some sensitive spots, such as the G-spot; however, in terms of nerve endings, relatively speaking, the clitoris is much more sensitive. ° Consider adding sex toys to your sexual repertoire. Including toys allows us to think outside of the box and encourages a healthy sexuality that emphasizes growth and learning. When we add toys, we also remind ourselves that sex is about having fun and experimenting with what feels good. ° I can’t speak highly enough about lubrication. Whether or not we are naturally lubricated is not necessarily an indication of whether or not we are emotionally aroused. The two are not mutually exclusive. If both partners agree this is something they want, then lube is your best friend. Having a few good types of lube on hand is a good idea. Water-based lubes are best if using condoms. Organic lubes will have the least irritants. Silicone-based lubes will be the slickest, but may not be great when used with silicone toys. Avoid lubes with parabens and glycerin because they can cause irritation. There are a lot of lubes out there, so experiment to find what works for you and your partner. ° Condoms are always a good idea, unless you are in a long-term monogamous relationship, and/or both parties are sharing sexually transmitted disease (STD) sexually transmitted infection (STI) results. ° Another option for safe sex is mutual masturbation. Whether you are touching yourself and/or touching each other, if no fluids are exchanged you are less likely to contract an STI or HIV. Also, mutual masturbation can be a highly erotic experience, connecting two people in a very intimate way. So, definitely don’t count this out. Sex has endless possibilities when you open your mind and let your imagination run wild. So get out there, start exploring, and start growing and learning. Whether you are seeking daring adventures or just trying to learn something new, remember to be safe and have fun!

Download or read book The Disappearing Spoon written by Sam Kean and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean comes incredible stories of science, history, finance, mythology, the arts, medicine, and more, as told by the Periodic Table. Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why is gallium (Ga, 31) the go-to element for laboratory pranksters? The Periodic Table is a crowning scientific achievement, but it's also a treasure trove of adventure, betrayal, and obsession. These fascinating tales follow every element on the table as they play out their parts in human history, and in the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them. The Disappearing Spoon masterfully fuses science with the classic lore of invention, investigation, and discovery -- from the Big Bang through the end of time. Though solid at room temperature, gallium is a moldable metal that melts at 84 degrees Fahrenheit. A classic science prank is to mold gallium spoons, serve them with tea, and watch guests recoil as their utensils disappear.

Download or read book Things I Don t Want to Know written by Deborah Levy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shimmering jewel of a book about writing from two-time Booker Prize finalist Deborah Levy, to publish alongside her new work of nonfiction, The Cost of Living. Blending personal history, gender politics, philosophy, and literary theory into a luminescent treatise on writing, love, and loss, Things I Don't Want to Know is Deborah Levy's witty response to George Orwell's influential essay "Why I Write." Orwell identified four reasons he was driven to hammer at his typewriter--political purpose, historical impulse, sheer egoism, and aesthetic enthusiasm--and Levy's newest work riffs on these same commitments from a female writer's perspective. As she struggles to balance womanhood, motherhood, and her writing career, Levy identifies some of the real-life experiences that have shaped her novels, including her family's emigration from South Africa in the era of apartheid; her teenage years in the UK where she played at being a writer in the company of builders and bus drivers in cheap diners; and her theater-writing days touring Poland in the midst of Eastern Europe's economic crisis, where she observed how a soldier tenderly kissed the women in his life goodbye. Spanning continents (Africa and Europe) and decades (we meet the writer at seven, fifteen, and fifty), Things I Don't Want to Know brings the reader into a writer's heart.
