For all of us who lie to ourselves about what we want, Just Sex maps the global story of our desire through every day people telling on themselves -- from Beijing to Capetown, from Dallas to Denver to DC. Just Sex contributors expose that perilous gap between our waking “identities” and who and what we want to do in the dark. They reveal our complex and sometimes contradictory attractions as we stumble into ourselves and find our way. On a world-wide journey of discovery via her workshop, Desire Mapping, Sexpert Dr. Jaime Grant uncovers astonishing moments of desire, connection, vulnerability and joy among college students and elders; government workers and activists; monogamous Dads and polyamorous Solos; artists and health providers; spiritual sensualists and gender outlaws. Listen in, and find your own story with us.
