New York Times bestselling author Suzy Spencer posted a simple online request: "Need to talk about sex..." Suzy Spencer set out to investigate sex in America--to go beyond the talk and find out what people are really doing in their private (or not so private) lives. What she discovered online, at sex clubs, and elsewhere was truly eye-opening. She started talking to men and women--from across America of all ages and sexual orientations--who make no apology for how they fire their imaginations and satisfy their desires. Soon she found herself invited to be a voyeur--listening in on phone sex, reading e-mails describing sexual encounters in graphic detail, and attending BDSM mixers and workshops. It was all astonishing... and enticing. At every turn she felt herself pulled deeper into people's secret lives and began questioning her own choices about relationships and sex. Secret Sex Lives is an intimate account of a journalist who is seduced by her subject; a woman who sets out to look behind closed doors but ends up on a personal, revealing journey to find herself...… (meer)

Honestly, the most interesting thing about this book is the author. Her therapist "shames" and "guilts" her, her mother could barely explain what pregnancy was to her as a child, she can't even tell if she was molested or not and has zero comfort with her own body or anything regarding sexuality and is basically a 50-year-old virgin. She herself is on the fringes of American sexuality, and the contrast between her and the people she interviews is staggeringly fascinating. While the actual sex described - swinging, affairs, BDSM - wasn't anything that isn't found in most standard romance novels, watching someone discover what lies beyond their very vanilla view of the world makes this worth reading.

Edit: After reading the other review, I thought, "What shocking ending?" and went back and picked it up. I found nothing shocking about her trying to have kinky sex and not being able to go through with it without feeling pain.

I normally don't read anything but true crime. However, out of the respect I have for Suzy Spencer as a writer, I decided I would pick this one up and give it a go! I can't imagine the courage it took Suzy to write this book - the courage to meet, befriend and hang out with all these strangers from different walks of life....not to mention the fact that she bares her own soul. Not only is it extremely poignant and well-written, this book will take you on a journey of discovery of your own. Follow Suzy as she interviews, watches and resists temptation while discovering her own hang-ups about sex, making love and all things in between. Trust me, you do not want to miss this one. Here's to hoping there will be a sequel. Oh...and by the way....the ending will shock you! ( )
