Mara Altman Knihy

Von einer, die auszog, das 'Kommen' zu lernen Studien behaupten: Über 90% aller Frauen haben 'ihn' schon mal vorgetäuscht – dabei ist er doch im Wortsinn der Höhepunkt der schönsten Nebensache der Welt. Woran liegt’s also, dass so viele Frauen nicht kommen, und wie kann man das ändern? Ein Bericht von Sexshows und Sexmessen, von der Therapeuten-Couch und vom Tantra-Seminar, von Neurologen-Studien und Schlaflaboren: eine offene, überraschende, informative – und manchmal hinreißend absurde – Reise zu einem Tabuthema der weiblichen Sexualität … Mara Altman erklärt alles, was wir über den weiblichen Orgasmus wissen sollten.

The timely, funny and deeply relatable essay collection that celebrates the wonder of the human body and introduces Mara Altman as the love child of Mindy Kaling and Mary Roach. Mara Altman's volatile and apprehensive relationship with her body has led her to wonder about a lot of stuff over the years. Like, who decided that women shouldn't have body hair? And how sweaty is too sweaty? Also, why is breast cleavage sexy but camel toe revolting? Isn't it all just cleavage? These questions and others like them have led to the comforting and sometimes smelly revelations that constitute Gross Anatomy, an essay collection about what it's like to operate the bags of meat we call our bodies. Divided into two sections, "The Top Half" and "The Bottom Half," with cartoons scattered throughout, Altman's book takes the reader on a wild and relatable journey from head to toe--as she attempts to strike up a peace accord with our grody bits. With a combination of personal anecdotes and fascinating research, Gross Anatomy holds up a magnifying glass to our beliefs, practices, biases, and body parts and shows us the naked truth: that there is greatness in our grossness.
