À propos de cet audio
Named a Most Anticipated Book by Bustle, Esquire, Nylon, and The Millions
“Intimate, thoughtful, and accessible to anyone struggling with the persistent, maddening inequities of contemporary sex.”–Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of Good and Mad
From Teen Vogue sex and love columnist Nona Willis Aronowitz, a blend of memoir, social history, and cultural criticism that probes the meaning of desire and sexual freedom today.
At thirty-two years old, everything in Nona Willis Aronowitz’s life, and in America, was in disarray. Her marriage was falling apart. Her nuclear family was slipping away. Her heart and libido were both in overdrive. Embroiled in an era of fear, reckoning, and reimagining, her assumptions of what “sexual liberation” meant were suddenly up for debate.
In the thick of personal and political turmoil, Nona turned to the words of history’s sexual revolutionaries—including her late mother, early radical pro-sex feminist Ellen Willis. At a time when sex has never been more accepted and feminism has never been more mainstream, Nona asked herself: What, exactly, do I want? And are my sexual and romantic desires even possible amid the horrors and bribes of patriarchy, capitalism, and white supremacy?
Nona’s attempt to find the answer places her search for authentic intimacy alongside her family history and other stories stretching back nearly two hundred years. Stories of ambivalent wives and unchill sluts, free lovers and radical lesbians, sensitive men and woke misogynists, women who risk everything for sex—who buy sex, reject sex, have bad sex and good sex. The result is a brave, bold, and vulnerable exploration of what sexual freedom can mean. Bad Sex is Nona’s own journey to sexual satisfaction and romantic happiness, which not only lays bare the triumphs and flaws of contemporary feminism but also shines a light on universal questions of desire.

Essential reading on modern relationships.
Whether you’re straight or queer…whether you’re single or partnered…you should really read this book. It serves as an incredible introduction to ideas around feminism, sexuality and relationships.
The book is framed through a personal and engaging narrative. As the author experiences the ups and downs of her own life, we get to experience what happens when the social theories she’s grappling with mix with her real life. Things get confusing and messy. Relationships and desire aren’t black and white. People often act in direct contrast with their own beliefs. We hurt ourselves and then wonder why. This brings up big existential questions, but in this book Willis Aronowitz brings these things down to earth for us and into focus. She lays bare her deepest pain and insecurity, and we get to learn along with her.
Often I have a hard time explaining the nuances of my relationships to friends, and helping friends navigate their own struggles through a feminist lens. In the future, I’ll just hand them this book.
If you are interested in sex, open relationships, women’s liberation, feminism, pleasure, and how all these things can be confusing, painful, essential and beautiful at the same time…this is a must read.
