This is all the yes. So many women need to read this book. You will set them free from cages they weren’t aware existed.

This is such an amazing observation, “…our culture has an aversion to pain and is thus unable to experience genuine pleasure.”

In the bit too distant past I was one of the Americans that was triggered by these ideas. Grateful for an amazing wife who helped me open my eyes.

Thank you for sharing and I hope you received good news in the proposal!

Thank you, Jeni! I absolutely love this post and how you make it clear that pleasure and sensuality help us feel more (I was struck by your words, "pleasure necessitates an acceptance of pain"). I too believe that pleasure can be a delicious form of resistance, not as an avoidance strategy, but rather as a way to root us into ourselves and reclaim our power from structures and beliefs that aim to control us. Can't wait to see what's next. 💚

I think you're on to something. It's odd how often "sinful" and "decadent" are used to describe food in general and ice cream in particular.
