Hello, I read an article about the author, Tina Horn. In it, she mentioned that she met with someone about WAM, and Sploshing for her book, "Why Are People Into That?: A Cultural Investigation of Kink". I was wondering if anybody here has read it, and is it worth purchasing? She also has a podcast. I don't listen to podcasts, and if you listen to hers, has she talked about WAM or Sploshing on an episode? Thank you kindly.
When celebrated BDSM educator Tina Horn first launched Why Are People Into That?!, publications from Vice to Buzzfeed heralded it as one of the best sex podcasts around. Each episode centered around a different fetish or fantasy, thoughtfully examining why, exactly, different strokes work for different folks. From sex workers and scientists to artists and activists, Tina's wide range of guests helped educate fascinated listeners across the world on the wide spectrum of humanity's appetites. With her listeners growing more and more insatiable, she soon realized that the only way to address the titular question with all the depth and nuance it deserved was to turn that idea into a book.
From spanking, strap-ons, and sluts, to taboos involving cake, chains, and cannibalism, WHY ARE PEOPLE INTO THAT? explores the universal drives that shape even the most specific erotic tastes, and the cultural context that molds and is molded by the way we conceptualize pleasure, gender, fantasy, and power. With buoyant prose, Tina invites us to reconsider everything we thought we knew about sexuality. How, for example, should we think about "consensual nonconsent" in a post-#MeToo era? How does cross-dressing fit in with our evolving cultural understanding of gender performance and identity? And what do foot fetishists, fisters, and FinDoms have in common?
Blending insightful cultural criticism, investigative journalism, and spicy anecdotes from Tina's 15+ years of hard-earned expertise in the sex industry and beyond, WHY ARE PEOPLE INTO THAT? is a philosophical-but-fun exploration of the prismatic spectrum of human desire and the expansive possibilities of pleasure. For fans of adrienne maree brown and Emily Nagoski, this raunchy and rousing book is perfect for anyone who is interested not only in the intricacies of what we desire, but in how desire itself really works.
Hello adidas, Thank you for posting the review. It is appreciated. Is it your personal review? Seeing as how, a lot of individuals here, have years of experience in Wamming, I was going more along the lines if someone here has read it and what they think about her perspective on Wamming. The rest of the various kinks/fetishes etc. she mentioned, do not personally interest me. It's cool and fine if you like them, and you'll get no judgements or negativity from me, I've always wanted to read a book or books on the psychological aspects of Wamming. I'll have to check out the two other authors mentioned in the review. Thank you again.
