DESCRIPTION:
This book is not just for large-size people. A compilation of true stories, cultural references, and narrative commentary, Fat Sex: The Naked Truth, tells the honest, and often heroic, heartbreaking, and hilarious experiences of large-size women and men in their romantic, intimate, and sexual relationships. If there are two subjects that are universally fascinating and rife with controversy, they are sex and fat. The stories are compelling and told with sensitivity and wit, connecting people on profoundly important aspects of their lives. Of course, this perception is far from accurate. Subjects touched on include heterosexual relationships, gay men and lesbian women, those who have gained and lost a great deal of weight, and the sexual “underground” such as fetishes. Though our culture is obsessed with both, the two commingling are sometimes seen as offensive, obscene, or even grotesque. Fat people have normal and peculiar sex lives, just like everyone else. The stories and issues discussed touch all of us, each and every person who has ever experienced the trials and tribulations, as well as the ecstasies, of intimate relationships.. Although the people portrayed in Fat Sex: The Naked Truth sometimes face bigotry and experience shamethey are often valiant and live remarkably fulfilling lives
"Fat people have sex? Yes, yes, they do!" according to Jane Raeburn. Author Weinstein uses personal interviews to sample the wide variety of sexual experience among people of size. While no book of this type can claim to be comprehensive, Fat Sex gives us a strong sense that being fat does not sentence anyone to a life of celibacy, and that indeed fat people can have (and be) a whole lot of fun in bed. A useful contribution to the emerging dialogue on the role of fat in society, Fat Sex is funny and wry rather than titillating or lewd.. "I liked this very much." according to D.G.. The narration is engaging and entertaining, and the author keeps the material from drifting to the vulgar. Definitely a wide variety of stories, including a few that had me nodding my head at the similarity to my own life. Here and there, facts are thrown in, but never do they stop the flow. Overall, good reading.. Fat Sex and Much More Fat Sex is an honest narrative portrayal of several normal, sexual people deemed unacceptably "overweight" by societal standards. Don't let the title fool you; this book is NOT a Kama Sutra for fat people, but a confessional about the pain and insecurity of wanting a healthy love life while being considered "unworthy" of such a thing. Ultimately, this book is about fat people's quests for love and acceptance. Fat Sex is not only about the experiences--both good and not-so good--of fat people as sexual beings; it also tells the story of those who desire fat people: Fat Admirers and "Chubby Chasers."
