A Woman Alone at Night

Image
Mira’s sexual awakening is dark, fast, and demeaning — starting with amateur porn, she willingly enters the harsh world of sex work. But Mira soon becomes conflicted: the other girls resent her and the men are rough. As her cousin tries to rescue her, Mira slips deeper and deeper into whoredom. Woman Alone at Night is striking for its intense, authentic evocation of the female sexual psyche. An explicit, intimate read, it's a book with the potential to forever change readers' understanding of sexuality. Buy it here .

Naked and Empty-Handed: Transcendence and Beyond in Group Workshops

Image
The body of the book is structured along three sections, called "WHAT?", "HOW?" and "WOW!" "WHAT?" explains the predicament of the Human condition, in which we survive as social entities at the expense of our inner harmony and bliss. It explores the process by which since our birth, we are forced by the socio-cultural context in which we grow up to abandon and forget about our Cosmic, Unlimited dimension, how we have to learn to identify with our "persona" and our role in the social drama, at the expense of our Ultimate Identity, which is no other than the totality of Existence, present, past and future. I use the analogy of a wave who forgets it is nothing but a movement at the surface of the Ocean, and is coerced into believing that it has a separate existence, independently of the Ocean and its water, and how this illusion is the source of all human misery and suffering.

Naked Ambition: Women Who Are Changing Pornography

Image
When adult entertainment first appeared on the pop culture radar as an underground film phenomenon, women were little more than starlets, who—for the most part—answered to men. But as pornography evolved in step with technology and consumer demand over the past twenty years, it also reflected the shifting political climate. Greater sexual equality started to appear both in front of and behind the cameras. Not only did female performers take charge for the first time of their careers, but women began running the companies people purchase movies from, opening woman-friendly sex shops and writing thoughtful, analytical commentary on pornography-often from a feminist perspective. In Naked Ambition, adult entertainment industry insider Carly Milne takes readers behind the scenes and on to the frontlines of today's woman-owned and supported adult entertainment industry that has revolutionized both pornography and the traditional feminist movement that has for years often stood in opposi...

The Naked Truth: Young, Beautiful, and (HIV) Positive

Image
At nineteen years of age, Marvelyn Brown was lying in a stark white hospital bed at Tennessee Christian Medical Center, feeling hopeless. A former top track and basketball athlete, she was in the best shape of her life, but she was battling a sudden illness in the intensive care unit. Doctors had no idea what was going on. It never occurred to Brown that she might be HIV positive. Having unprotected sex with her Prince Charming had set into swift motion a set of circumstances that not only landed her in the fight of her life, but also alienated her from her community. Rather than give up, however, Brown found a reason to fight and a reason to live. The Naked Truth is an inspirational memoir that shares how an everyday teen refused to give up on herself, even as others would forsake her. More, it's a cautionary tale that every parent, guidance counselor, and young adult should read. Buy it here .
