Boobs (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Lisa had never really thought about her breasts, or boobs in general, until she met the then infamous Samantha X (now Amanda Goff), former escort, journalist, best-selling author, and the owner of a pair of huge breasts. Lisa soon discovers that the two of them were treated very differently. Men ogled Amanda's chest, sent her romantic and/or perverse messages, and were constantly trying to get in her pants, while Lisa discovered they focused only on her face, sent her professional emails or otherwise ignored her. As this breast-drama unfolds, and the monolithic power of mammary glands becomes glaringly apparent, Lisa finds herself wondering if she should have her breasts enlarged, while Amanda wonders if she should have hers reduced.

Boobs is an irreverent and humorous examination of the power of breasts through history and the social sciences, richly illustrated by Amanda's anecdotes on men and breasts, women and breasts, and breast-anxiety in general.

Under her pseudonym, she wrote two bestselling memoirs, Hooked and Back on Top, and was the media's go-to writer for articles about women's sexuality after 40 and the emotional needs of men.
