Caught your attention didn't I? What a taboo subject, eh? It seems that we talk about it all the time with our friends, while holding a glass of wine with one hand and covering our giggles with the other one. Yes, we are the "Sex and The City" girls. We sit and chat with our girlfriends about our sex lives, sometimes brag about our hook ups, share tips and all that, but how often do we have real conversations. I mean real conversations about the good, the bad and the scary. Are we afraid to have these conversations? or are we just too ignorant to have an honest discussion when it comes to sex?
Well the book LAID by Shannon Boodram is just that: an open, raw and completely honest, unapologetic discusion about sex. It talks about everything from random hook ups, to "making love", to wanted/unwanted pregnancy, to rape to aids and everything in between. The stories in LAID force you to sit down and look at your choices and ask yourself questions about what you want your experiences to be like. At the end of the day, the who, what, where of your sexuality is your decision, but wouldn't you rather know all your choices before you get down and get yours?
LAID, the book, is available at all respectable bookstores, but they had ran out of copies when I went to pick mine up so I bought it at Amazon.
This is the book summarized by Shannon in her own words. Watch:
