Good Girls Do

A personal meditation on the wild world that is sexuality now. "'I want you to
tell me why you wrote this story,' my mother said. I had once again written an
article about sex. 'I made it all up, none of it is true,' I said. Her voice
over the phone line, sounding tense, confrontational - and worried -  had made
me feel instantly ashamed." So begins Good Girls Do, a personal meditation on
the wild world that is sexuality now. From transgendered women living as men,
S/M dominatrixes, bathhouses, and the explosion of amateur pornography, Simona
Chiose investigates a world in which old notions of morality have become
irrelevant and we are making up our own rules. No more sneaking around with
the Playboy orthe Penthouse,  the Anaïs Nin, the pictures of Betty Page. Sex
is for sale everywhere, openly, profitably. It's a wonder our mothers can
still shame us. Funny, honest and fearless, Good Girls Do blends observations
on our sex-saturated culture with personal experiences and profiles of the
pioneers who are dragging us - some kicking and screaming - into this brave
new world. A whiff of sex that will make both the shameless and the modest sit
up, Good Girls Do documents a future where everyone is a sexual outlaw and
everyone is in love.
