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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWant Me\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49326671135024,"sku":"BDe4ro","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/349917-e4ro-Square.jpg?v=1733651267","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-e4ro","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
