Deserving Desire

Takes a wide-ranging look at the evolution of women's sexuality over time, with a specific focus on the development of sexual subjectivity - that is sexual confidence, agency, and a sense of entitlement to sexual desire. Detailed stories of the ninety-five women in this study explore how they become more comfortable with their bodies, when most begin to enjoy sex, feel confident and positive about engaging in it, and how they become sexual subjects in control of their bodies.
