I was in my thirties, and I still found sex bewildering - to be precise, I found my own anxieties and shyness about sex bewildering." - Sallie Tisdale Sallie Tisdale challenges commonly held assumptions about almost everything related to sexuality. Talk Dirty to Me investigates the role of sex in human life: from discussing how gender is now something partly born, partly borrowed, and partly built; to exploring how children are sexualised in fashion, music, and advertising while condemnation of paedophilia reaches fever pitch. "I don't worry much about sex anymore. It just is, there - sometimes forward, sometimes over in a corner. There's mine, and there's yours, and I don't worry too much about yours. Sex is just being human." - Sallie Tisdale Talk Dirty to Me encompasses a wide range of references: American and Japanese pornography, James Joyce's infamous love letters, interviews with prostitutes proud of their skills and earning power, cultural writing from Roland Barthes to Susie Bright, Freud, Adam and Eve, to the findings of sex researchers such as Masters and Johnson.
