The New Joy of Sex and Frenzy, 60 stories of sudden sex, have one obvious common denominator – pleasure.
The New Joy of Sex hit bookstores this week and unlike the first version written by a man for men, this one was updated by British sexologist Susan Quilliam. It is written for women and couples. In a Today Show interview, the author said that in this economic climate, “We are going to be staying home more and making love more.” MSNBC
I love learning about couples who are also best friends and lovers. But I also love hearing of single folks who love finding love serendipitously.
Quilliam is also an advocate for open discussion about sex. She believes that in families where sex is openly discussed, children grow up with a healthier perspective.
The interview prompted several contemporaries of Today Show host Meredith Viera to call and share stories of their teen years and sex in Providence. It seems that instead of learning about sex from parents, teachers, or the Internet, teen age boys learned from teenage girls in Dexter Field.
“We had a place we called The Cave,” says my source. “The field was midway between an all girls school and our all boys school. Together we learned about drinking and shagging,” he said.
Then and now it seems that the average age for first sexual experience is 15. This age is the estimate from a mandated Congressional evaluation by Mathematica Policy Research Inc. The firm was charged with evaluating abstinence education programs and found that they had little impact on teen sexual practice.
With both sex education and abstinence education, the age of first sexual experience is just under 15 – just about the age when young men are basically walking hormones.
To read Frenzy: 60 stories of sudden sex one would think that we were all walking hormones. The book is a series of chance encounters and risky moments both titillating and overtimes forbidden. Edited by Alison Tyler, who is considered hot stuff in the erotica movement, the book has one traveling from eye contact to body contact is the most provocative ways.
