Don’t Hold My Head Down by Lucy-Anne Holmes
Don t Hold My Head Down is a memoir about sex. It starts with the author having a disappointing, drunken wank to internet porn, and ends with her having day-long orgasms and taking on the most powerful newspaper in the country. In her mid-thirties, Lucy-Anne Holmes realised that something was missing.
When it came to sex she still felt like a novice: she lacked confidence and felt incapable of asking for what she wanted. But when she looked for a how-to guide or a workshop, she found that everything she googled was geared towards the male gaze rather than women s pleasure. So, she made a `fuckit list of the things she d like to try among them slow sex, ejaculation, different types of orgasm, being sexual with other women, BDSM, sex parties and making porn and set out on a journey of discovery.
This is the book that Lucy wanted to read in the first place; a frank, eye-opening and inspiring account of the search for better sex that shares her tips, revelations, failures and triumphs.
