Good Girls Do: Sex Chronicles of a Shameless Generation

A personal meditation on the wild world that is sexuality now. I want you to tell me why you wrote this story, my mother said. I had once again written an article about sex. I made it all up, none of it is true, I said. Her voice over the phone line, sounding tense, confrontational and worried had made me feel instantly ashamed. So begins Good Girls Do, a personal meditation on the wild world that is sexuality now. From transgendered women living as men, S/M dominatrixes, bathhouses, and the explosion of amateur pornography, Simona Chiose investigates a world in which old notions of morality have become irrelevant and we are making up our own rules. No more sneaking around with the Playboy orthe Penthouse, the Ana s Nin, the pictures of Betty Page. Sex is for sale everywhere, openly, profitably. It s a wonder our mothers can still shame us. Funny, honest and fearless, Good Girls Do blends observations on our sex-saturated culture with personal experiences and profiles of the pioneers who are dragging us some kicking and screaming into this brave new world. A whiff of sex that will make both the shameless and the modest sit up, Good Girls Do documents a future where everyone is a sexual outlaw and everyone is in love.
