Publisher's Synopsis
When Betsy Blankenbaker published Autobiography of an Orgasm in 2014, glowing reviews for her vulnerable storytelling poured in. So did a deluge of messages from readers who also learned the fundamental role of pleasure in their lives after years of thinking something was wrong with them because they couldn't feel their orgasm. In June 2015 Betsy brought us Autobiographies of Our Orgasms, an intelligently and sensitively curated anthology of sixteen stories by men and women who had confronted abuse, social mores, and all the other things that come between us and our orgasms. In 2016, a second collection was released featuring stories from sixteen more women. In 2017, Betsy offers another anthology of powerful, candid stories for Autobiographies of Our Orgasms 3. "We write these stories to learn about ourselves," Betsy says and by reading them we learn even more. When one person tells the truth about their experience it gives others permission to do the same. In a culture where sexual pleasure is obscured by the pressure to climax and the messages that are prevalent in porn, such as women are objects and not active participants with their own desires- these stories will help you redefine what an orgasm is and when you may have lost touch with your own. Autobiographies of Our Orgasms 3 will make you laugh, break your heart, and give you courage. This book will expand your thinking on orgasm to a whole new world of feeling - and it just may open you up to a deeper experience of your body, your sensual self and the way you live in the world.
