Sugar in My Bowl: Real Women Write About Real Sex

Sugar in My Bowl: Real Women Write About Real Sex

I need a little sugar in my bowl,
I need a little hot dog, on my roll
I can stand a bit of lovinâ€™, oh so bad,
I feel so funny, I feel so sad
â€”Bessie Smith

When it comes to sex, what do women want? In this eye-opening and courageous collection, Erica Jong reveals that every woman has her own answer. Susan Cheever talks about the â€œexcruciating hazards of casual sex,â€ while Gail Collins recounts her Catholic upbringing in Cincinnati and the nuns who passionately forbade her from having â€œcarnal relations.â€ In â€œEverything Must Go,â€ Jennifer Weiner explores how, in love, the body can play just as big a role as the heart. The octogenarians in Karen Abbottâ€™s sharp-eyed piece possess a passion that could give Betty White a run for her money. Molly Jong-Fast reflects on her unconventional upbringing and why a whole generation of young women have rejected â€œfree loveâ€ in favor of Bugaboo strollers and Mommy-and-me yoga. Sex, it turns out, can be as fleeting, heavy, mundane, and intense as the rest of life. Indeed, Jong states in her powerful introduction â€œthe truth isâ€”sex is life.â€
