If there are two subjects that are universally fascinating and rife with controversy, they are sex and fat. Though our culture is obsessed with both, the two commingling are sometimes seen as offensive, obscene, or even grotesque. Fat people are not viewed as sexual beings. Of course, this perception is far from accurate. Fat people have normal and peculiar sex lives, just like everyone else. A compilation of true stories, cultural references, and narrative commentary, "Fat Sex: The Naked Truth," tells the honest, and often heroic, heartbreaking, and hilarious experiences of large-size women and men in their romantic, intimate, and sexual relationships. Subjects touched on include heterosexual relationships, gay men and lesbian women, those who have gained and lost a great deal of weight, and the sexual “underground” such as fetishes. Although the people portrayed in "Fat Sex: The Naked Truth" sometimes face bigotry and experience shame – they are often valiant and live remarkably fulfilling lives. The stories are compelling and told with sensitivity and wit, connecting people on profoundly important aspects of their lives. This book is not just for large-size people. The stories and issues discussed touch all of us, each and every person who has ever experienced the trials and tribulations, as well as the ecstasies, of intimate relationships.

Fat people have sex? Yes, yes, they do!
25. Juni 2012
Von Jane Raeburn
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Author Weinstein uses personal interviews to sample the wide variety of sexual experience among people of size. While no book of this type can claim to be comprehensive, Fat Sex gives us a strong sense that being fat does not sentence anyone to a life of celibacy, and that indeed fat people can have (and be) a whole lot of fun in bed. A useful contribution to the emerging dialogue on the role of fat in society, Fat Sex is funny and wry rather than titillating or lewd.

The narration is engaging and entertaining, and the author keeps the material from drifting to the vulgar. Definitely a wide variety of stories, including a few that had me nodding my head at the similarity to my own life. Here and there, facts are thrown in, but never do they stop the flow. Overall, good reading.

Fat Sex: The Naked Truth by Rebecca Jane Weinstein
8. Juli 2012
Von Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is written in a style reminiscent of the serious but casual discussions around the fire in the student center. It also reminds me of serious informative discussions with many a wiser person. However, this topic and the related issues surrounding being a fat person, especially a fat woman, and the facts of life about love and/or sexual relationships were never discussed in a helpful, encouraging, factual, or healthy way. This book shows by example as well as with an interweaving of a variety facts that all of what I (and we in this world) have been told and believe to be true about fat people and love relationships has not been the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The love life of fat people can be quite wonderful in fact.
I would most definitely recommend this book. I wish I had had it when I was about age 9 onwards to help me understand more and get hurt less in a world determined to crush me.
