The Right to Sex
Very lucid essays on the very complex nuances of sexual relations, sexual preferences, sex work, and inter-generational feminism.
Three Women
Three true stories about the desires and sexual experiences of three women - seriously researched and compelling to read. Not reductive, but complicated, without the author’s judgement and covering the judgements that were made of these women by their contemporaries and society.
Vanilla Partners
His photographs are layers of sexual feeling. The one of a dentist scene I find striking because I experienced it: the latex in my mouth held wide open; the intense physicality of someone smashing a tooth to extract it; the other latex hand holding my chin gently; lying down; the tenderness of swelling.
The Ballad of Sexual Dependency
One of the most honest works of life and love experiences. At times heartbreaking and hard to look at because of the painful experiences, at other times heartwarming and light. Fundamentally powerful because it’s not patronising to the people whose lives she is documenting by making them one-dimensional figures of either despair or ecstasy.
The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity and Love
The damage the patriarchy has done to men by not being interested in their emotions, and how it doesn’t have to be this way.
