About this listen
Hailed by Utne Reader as "a visionary" and the San Francisco Chronicle as "the X-rated intellectual," Susie Bright is indisputably the sexpert of our times. Now, in a frank and intimate look at our own erotic experience, she delves into the most personal aspects of sex and shows us how our sexual passion can be a source of creativity and inspiration.
Bright explores some of the most complex questions about sexuality today, including:
- How can we come clean about our true desire?
- What are the real differences between men's and women's sense of the erotic?
- Why is it so threatening to consciously address sexual desire in the first place?
- How can articulate erotic expression make us better lovers and, more important, better people?
Bright concludes with an "erotic manifesto" that is a call for everyone to reclaim sexuality, cast off sexual shame and overcome repression.

At thirty-two years old, everything in Nona Willis Aronowitz’s life, and in America, was in disarray. Her marriage was falling apart. Her nuclear family was slipping away. Her heart and libido were both in overdrive. Embroiled in an era of fear, reckoning, and reimagining, her assumptions of what “sexual liberation” meant were suddenly up for debate.

An affair: It can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so, too, the prohibition against it - in fact it has a tenacity that marriage can only envy. Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author of Mating in Captivity Esther Perel returns with a groundbreaking and provocative look at infidelity, arguing for a more nuanced and less judgmental conversation about our transgressions.

Author Kate Bornstein ushers listeners on a funny, fearless, and wonderfully scenic journey across the terrains of gender and identity. On one level, Gender Outlaw details Bornstein's transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian woman, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and performance artist. But this particular coming-of-age story is also a provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described nonbinary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who never stops questioning our cultural assumptions.

Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts is a genre-bending memoir, a work of "autotheory" offering fresh, fierce, and timely thinking about desire, identity, and the limitations and possibilities of love and language. At its center is a romance: the story of the author's relationship with the artist Harry Dodge. This story, which includes Nelson's account of falling in love with Dodge, who is fluidly gendered, as well as her journey to and through a pregnancy, is an intimate portrayal of the complexities and joys of (queer) family making.

Critic reviews
"Ms. Bright refuses to let the sexual controversies of our day poison her passion." (The New York Times Book Review)
"[Bright's] message comes across as intimate, real, and convincing." (Publishers Weekly)
What did you like best about Full Exposure? What did you like least?
As typical with Susie, you can sense her passion and humor in every moment. And in truth, there are many parts of this book where you feel like she connects with the listener on a personal level. But in audio format, this book reads like a lecture series, where questions are not allowed during, and no peer review will take place after. If you don't mind the style of writing where you pose a question, and then suppose that the inquiry alone is proof enough for the conclusion the author will make next, then this book is actually fairly entertaining and insightful. I however find it a pet peeve to state things as though they are facts and not back them up. But I still found hours of enjoyment with this book.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would have enjoyed this story more, if in the course of the author's full exposure, more insight was given to the methods by which she arrived at her beliefs. This book presents itself as a sort of everything on the table book, which it does well. But the author takes the time to pose a great question, the reader should either be given time to consider the question, or the author must supply their own reasoning on the subject.Did the narration match the pace of the story?
YesIf this book were a movie would you go see it?
I think I would go see this as a movie.Probably better as a physical book
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Only after listening did I noticed that the performance is an abridgment and discovered that I'm curious about what more she had to say (I'm ready for another go!). Perhaps the abridgment contributed to the pacing(?) - not sure about the reason, but I've always found Susie's tone so convivial and her manner of handling even the most vulnerable subject matter tenderly, that I expect the longer we stay with her 'in bed' the deeper she gets to flesh it all out.
What I'd really like to hear is a new performance: this recording seems to suffer from being down sampled or something??? perhaps it was recorded without much sound engineering? Full Exposure address a topic and perspective I wish more people consider and I'd love to hear Susie visit it again.
yes, that's my nipple
