Want Me is a gift.\"\n—Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of Good and Mad\n\nTracy Clark-Flory grew up wedged between fizzy declarations of \"girl power\" and the sexualized mandates of pop culture. It was \"broken glass ceilings\" and Girls Gone Wild infomercials. With a vague aim toward sexual empowerment, she set out to become what men wanted--or, at least, understand it.\n\nIn her moving, fresh, and darkly humorous memoir, she shares the thrilling and heartbreaking events that led to discovering conflicting truths about her own desire, first as a woman coming of age and then as a veteran journalist covering the sex beat. Tracing her experiences on adult film sets, at fetish conventions, and during an orgasmic meditation retreat (to name just a few), Clark-Flory weaves in statistics and expert voices to reckon with our views on sexual freedom.\n\nWant Me is about looking for love, sex, and power as a woman in a culture that is \"freer\" than ever, yet defined by unprecedented pressures and enduring constraints. This is a first-hand example of one woman who navigated the mixed messages of sexual expectation, only to discover the complexity of her own wants and our collective need to change the limitations of that journey.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0143134612\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0143134612.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Clark-Flory, Tracy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
