Promiscuities : An Opinionated History of Female Desire - Thryft

Opinionated history of female desire, revealed.

Promiscuities by Naomi Wolf could be a good read for anyone interested in exploring the evolution of female desire over time, and how it has been shaped by societal norms and expectations. The unique perspective of the author, who follows a group of contemporary girls, including her younger self, adds a personal touch to the analysis. Wolf draws on a range of sources, including scholarly texts and real-life experiences, to demonstrate that female sexuality is complex, multifaceted, and often suppressed by societal norms. The book invites readers to challenge their own preconceptions about women's desire, and to embrace a more honest and nuanced understanding of female sexuality.

Description

By following a group of four contemporary girls - including her younger self - as they come of age in the seventies, Wolf shows how our culture tries to shape and confine women's desire. Embarking on a voyage of discovery, she illustrates how flawed and prescribed are the notions of what women want, and how these change through the ages - from Taoist techniques for giving women pleasure, to Victorian repression, and the so-called liberated nineties.Drawing on scholarly texts, secret diaries, real life and fantasy, she demonstrates that female sexuality is wilder, more demanding and more powerful than our culture dares to accept.
