Overview
Mama Sex: How a Perfect Storm Caused a Revolution exposes why the most transgressive thing a mother can do in our society is to prioritize her own pleasure. Tackling one of the last cultural taboos -- maternal sexuality -- Mama Sex aims to open its readers eyes to how modern society is f*cking with the sex lives of mothers. Written from an anthropological perspective, Mama Sex is part deeply researched historical guide, part personal narrative of a modern mother (former Curator of the Museum of Sex), and part prescriptive support on how to change your sex life. Combining academic research, surveys, and interviews with mothers and field experts, Mama Sex not only addresses the identity-changing transition of becoming a mother (matrescence) and our historical maternal lineage (all the people, places, and spaces from which we inherit our worldviews), but also the personal liberation that is possible through tackling these ideas head on.
