Sex with the Lights On
by Ducky Doolittle
In her interview here on ErosZine, Ducky Doolittle
talked about her experiences as a sex worker: peepshow girl, a
stripper, a fetish model and smut writer. She’s sat in pies and engaged
in clown sex, performed stand-up and given erotic readings, and
traveled the country sharing her stories. This babe has seen it all. So
it’s no surprise that she finally landed a book contract to tell her
tales and impart her hard-won wisdom. The result is her incandescent
Sex with the Lights On: 200 Illuminating Sex Questions Answered.
The book is based on the many sex questions Ducky has fielded over the
years. In fact, every time she’d appear live, she’d invite her audience
to fill out index cards with their questions, so they’d be anonymous.
Surprisingly, she managed to hold on to those hundreds of cards! Her
introduction sets the tone: conversational and casual, as though you
were chatting with a friend. She basically explains how it is she has
arrived at a place where people are asking her such things.
She starts with the basics: graphic illustrations of genitalia—in other
words, a map of the area. She quickly veers off into the topics people
really want to know about: female ejaculation, the G spot and whether
one should shave or wax. It isn’t just about the ladies, though. She
answers questions like “What is the best way to handle a guy who is
having a difficult time getting it up?” and “Can you explain how I can
use my hands on his balls?” Every few pages there are thought-provoking
homework assignments to make you more sexually aware, quotes from the
author about her sex life and interesting factoids and myths.
One of the most remarkable aspects of this book is that it’s written in
a way that doesn’t specify any particular sexual preference, so the
information inside can be used by everyone—gay, straight or bi. Ducky
delves into anal play, sex toys, condoms and dental dams, penis pumps,
sex for the handicapped and more. She covers sexual health and how to
play safely. And she devotes an entire chapter to body image, which,
truth be told, is one of the most important components to a satisfying
sex life.
Finally, her bibliography, resources and web site listings are a what’s
what to the wonderful world of kink. This all adds up to a witty,
concise and completely approachable book that would be perfect for
anyone curious and full of questions. It’s the book you wish you’d had
in junior high, when they were showing those embarrassing movies
instead. A bright book from a bright young woman.
