Love or
abuse? Liberation or bondage?
I wrote “Good Pussy
Bad Pussy – Rachel’s Tale” because of my fascination with sex! Yes, like most
people, I’m obsessed, fascinated, tormented and enchanted by sex. And it’s no
wonder since sex is the most powerful drive, urge, impulse of them all! Or as I
like to say – Nothing satisfies like sex.
Nothing completes like sex. Nothing releases like sex. Nothing can compete with
sex!
So I wanted to write about orgasm as the
ultimate surrender and a portal to ecstasy and bliss – in other words, I wanted
to write about orgasm as a state that is so intoxicating that everyone wants to
experience it! And then I wanted to add to this an exploration of the conundrum
that arises if we reach this intoxicating state of surrender and bliss in and
through situations (and/or with people) that we don’t particularly like or find
acceptable.
In other words, what happens when the body
experiences one thing while the mind is screaming something else? And by this I
mean – our bodies are designed so that when we are stimulated sexually, the
sensations are pleasurable whether or not we like the person we’re with or the
situation we’re in. Interestingly enough, this is something many people
experience even though most people will not admit it or talk about it because
they consider it shameful. And because experiences like this are so taboo, when
something like this happens, it leaves most people confused, ashamed and/or
upset. Because how can something be both objectionable and pleasurable at the
same time? It’s a real dilemma. So what does it mean? And how do we live with
experiences like this and deal with them?
This is what
happens to Rachel, the main character in “Good Pussy Bad Pussy” In her attempt
to escape an unhappy marriage, she runs away and discovers and experiences
great sexual release in ways that surprise, delight and shock her but which are
not always socially acceptable. Hence the title of the book – Good Pussy Bad Pussy.
And then I wanted all this to take place
against the backdrop of our modern day society – with all its ideas about
marriage, fidelity and monogamy which so often block or twist or pinch off our
natural sexual drive/energy and our ability to joyfully experience our own
sexuality.
So the book asks
many questions. Questions like – what is Rachel, the heroine of the book,
really experiencing? Is it love or abuse? Is it liberation or bondage? Is she
really free or not? And who is making these choices for her? How much of all that
happens to her in the book is based on social programming and negative social
norms about sex? These are some of the questions the book poses through the
dilemmas Rachel faces in the book.
So yes, I tried to mix all this together
and from what readers and reviewers are saying, I can see I have at least
managed to stir some of this up. Many reviewers say they initially didn’t like
the main character, Rachel, because of what she does, but then as they follow
her through the story, they come to understand her and finally really love her
and her journey.
Hope you will enjoy Rachel’s journey as
much as I have!
