Don't Hold My Head Down

Product Information

I find it hard to sum up how I feel about the book, but I'm inclined to think that there could have been less actual sex and more "about" sex, but that could make it pretty dull to be fair. Determined not to let this stop her, Lucy penned a list and set out to discover what her sex life was missing. I loved this book; it’s enlightening, straight from the heart and well pretty much life change going in some ways. It will make you snort with laughter one minute and weep the next; it is frank, eye-opening and inspiring, and will speak to women everywhere. Women's sexual pleasure has been suppressed, feared, denied and punished over thousands of years, and women have been murdered and mutilated because of it" (p.

But for Lucy-Anne Holmes, the sex she was having wasn’t good enough and she didn’t feel great about it. Moni nainen harrastaa surkeaa seksiä, koska ei ole edes oppinut, että voisi itse olla aktiivinen toimija ja kertoa, mitä haluaa ja mitä ei.

Että vasta kun tiedät tantran kaikki kujeet ja saat ne 14 erilaista orgasmia (… suhtaudun tähän vähän skeptisyydellä) olet boss oman seksuaalisuutesi kanssa. I will be recommending it to my female friends - and, despite what the older lady that I was sat next to in Cheltenham seemed to suggest, I think that men could get a lot from this memoir too!

Instead of finding arousal, she found herself thinking about her nieces, growing into young women, and what our current society is 'feeding' to them, in regards to sex and sexuality. It was so powerful to see from a woman's perspective how men can forget basic decency and respect so quickly when it comes to sexual pleasure.

Having come of an age and in a culture that is overflowing with male-dominated porn has been, to say the least, dizzying for many of us. The event was memorable for a few reasons, one of them being the response that it elicited from an older lady, who was sharing the table I was sitting at: she clearly didn't approve of such a book. Todella hyviä ja arvokkaita juttuja esimerkiksi suostumuksesta (wheel of consent oli käsitteenä jotain, joka meistä jokaisen olisi hyvä ottaa haltuun, vaikka toki tämä ei Holmesin oma käsite ollutkaan), omista rajoista, ein sanomisesta ja vastaanottamisesta, itsetuntemuksesta. I didn't expect to be moved in quite the way I was by this story but it meant a lot to me and I'd recommend it to men as well as women for its accessibility and openness.But thankfully, Holmes gave us something that we might need and want—a very real and honest take on the state of female sexuality and an inspiring look at one woman’s journey to claim her sexual experience. It starts with the author having a disappointing, drunken moment to internet porn, and ends with her having day-long orgasms and taking on the most powerful newspaper in the country.

I have a big personal disconnect with the idea that the author has gone from being a sexually dominated person, with a limited understanding of the dynamics of sex, to being an Everest-conquering shagger.A really good and engaging book that more people should read - especially males in Britain/US - to help people be more comfortable with themselves but also in understanding their partners (this book is so much more than a sex diary or tales of exploits) but there is a bit of padding at the end.

For Don’t Hold My Head Down to obtain any sort of international acclaim, which might not even be its goal, readers outside of the UK will have to look past the slang, the uncountable instances of “blimey”, and references they don’t understand to get to the heart of the book. Her broaching of topics often perceived as taboo (hello, anal stimulation and the trauma of an unregretted abortion) can feel brave, but in an overwhelming and more important way feel completely necessary for the continuation of the narrative of the book and the broader societal conversation.
