Have we lost our ability to be shocked? When the author confesses to having had sex with her brother (“no penetration”), the men in the room with her at the time leer, but those of us outside the fourth wall are likely to do nothing more than blink.

Flook also tells about the time she had sex with three French sailors in rapid succession; “sisterly masturbation” with another woman writer; and an affair with her editor. The author insists that her development as a writer, the ostensible subject of the piece, is bound up so closely with her sex life that the two can’t be separated, but every time she aims to épater le bourgeois, it falls flat.

Were the memoir by a writer of greater renown, some of this literary-sex-nexus stuff might be of interest, but as presented here, it’s mechanical, clinical, and mostly just tedious. (There are admittedly a couple of memorable moments, one of them when a sex addict with a violent streak winds up as a writer of Hallmark Cards.)

More interesting are Flook’s portraits of her mother—suffice it to say that the old acorn and oak metaphor comes to mind—and gravely ill son, both of whom illustrate a point: the author writes deeply and well when the lens is on someone else and the topics at hand, such as death and literary rivalry, are more serious, all of which happen less often than one might like. Still, if lines like, “it’s a delicious weakness that I welcome each time a man nudges my legs open” make you go all a-tremble, then this is just the ticket, though Erica Jong probably has nothing to worry about. With a bang and a whimper—and a yawn.

her affair.


The strength and bravery she displayed by initiating and hiding her actions is inspiring.

It's evil betrayal. It means unequivocally that you don't love them.

Lesbian divorce rates are the highest of all. Think about it.


Lesbians also have an unnaturally high rate of domestic violence compared to heterosexual relationships.

Gay men have the lowest rates for both.

I can’t believe this is real. Surely the dude would have some sense of another guy railing his wife for 15 years? I want to feel sorry for him but man.

You badly underestimate how devious and calculating women can be. They can be absolutely ruthless when it comes to doing stuff like this.

While I feel bad for the guy, based on how he talks in those posted excerpts, he sounds like a soft little bitch, and even liberal women (let's be real.....these are two married authors...you know damn well they're liberal) biologically want a real man who takes command and acts like a fricking man. She found that elsewhere. Him being an effeminate bitch doesn't give her license to go around being a dirty common whore though.


Problem is, women can sometimes have difficulty understanding the difference between ACTING like a “real man” and BEING a “ real man”.

A good woman knows the difference and you’ll want to put a ring on her.

Edit: and clearly this lady did NOT understand the assignment.

He talks about the pain and how he recovered afterwards.


100% the same way every guy who dealt with a whore wife does. He dips his dick in just a multitude of things that are younger, prettier, tighter. He goes on to have a great life while she struggles in every aspect of hers.

15 years? Either he was an idiot, or she was one of the most cunning cheaters that ever existed.

No. This woman was. And you are engaged in selection bias probably because you’ve had bad luck with women and would like that to be the fault of women so that you are not culpable.

A lot of lesbians were driven into that by predatory male behavior- molestation and rape. I would expect folks like that to fricked up and perhaps violent.
