Welcome to Litsy!

Initially turned off by the overly-intellectual style of Witt‘s personal recollections of single life, I found some interest once she tied in a journalistic stories of porn sets, Burning Man & sex parties.

And yet by the end, most sex came off as sterile. The sheer dedication of Witt‘s was impressive, as she studies “future sex” behaviors of couples/non-couples experimenting with non-monogamy, breaking the definition of healthy relationships.

I thought this was a book of essays about contemporary female sexuality in America, which it is, but I didn't know to expect the surpassingly beautiful writing. I've only been caught off-guard in this way by a few other books in my life; I plan to purchase my own copy after I return this one to the library. Also I need to read everything else Emily Witt has written. Thank you @rebeccaschinsky for rec'ing this on the @bookriot #AllTheBooks podcast!

Anybody who lives in & loves San Francisco knows that this city stands for progressiveness. Liberal attitudes & sexual inclusiveness & free expression are a huge part of our collective values.

I ❤️ed this book mostly because I connect with the way SF was described. Witt's compilation of personal and curious essays on topics like polyamory, online dating, orgasmic meditation, and pornography are all explored. Only read if you are comfortable 😍.

This book is so fascinating. I love her writing. It's exacting. I never know where these essays are leading me, I'm surprised every time, but never let down.

4th essay 'Internet Porn'. I think I'm finding a pattern.

About to read the third essay. Emily Witt is awesome. @bookbrag

The future is now and omg.
