Exploring female sexuality from a cultural studies perspective, this book acknowledges women’s diverse sexual desires and pleasures. Arguing that mass media has advanced beyond most feminist theory to consider the reality of female sexuality, it disregards the notion that women who actively want or seek out sex are in some way unfeminine or even masculine. Instead, it presents a more accurate and powerful picture of female sexuality. Topics include the ethics and nature of heterosexuality, sex and violence, fetishes, straight feminism, experts versus sexperts, and many more.
