Hailed by Utne Reader as "a visionary" and the San Francisco Chronicle as "the X-rated intellectual," Susie Bright is indisputably the sexpert of our times. Now, in a frank and intimate look at our own erotic experience, she delves into the most personal aspects of sex and shows us how our sexual passion can be a source of creativity and inspiration.Bright explores some of the most complex questions about sexuality today, including:

• How can we come clean about our true desire?
• What are the real differences between men's and women's sense of the erotic?
• Why is it so threatening to consciously address sexual desire in the first place?
• How can articulate erotic expression make us better lovers and, more important, better people?

Bright concludes with an "erotic manifesto" that is a call for everyone to reclaim sexuality, cast off sexual shame and overcome repression.
