Talking about Sex, Class & Literature

Há dois anos comprei alguns livros de Dorothy Allison, numa viagem intuitiva pelo site da Amazon.

Li na época apenas o lindo e comovente Two or Three Things I Know for Sure, em que ela narra em estilo poético a história triste das mulheres pobres de sua família.

Depois fiz uma pausa, para organizar a vida. Agora retomei a coletânea de ensaios Skin: Talking about Sex, Class and Literature.

Continua comovente. Mas pricipalmente ferino, engraçado e despudorado. Grande mulher. Abaixo segue um trecho do ensaio The Theory and Practice of the Strap-on Dildo.



The Theory and Practice of the Strap-on Dildo

Dorothy Allison
em Skin, Firebrand Books, 1994

"After I started talking about my discovery, I became an underground authority on such devices. Dozens of my friends asked me to help them buy a harness like mine. What I have been most surprised by is the range of women who use strap-on dildos. Contrary to mythology and my earliest experiences, it's not only butch/femme couples who are into such toys. Nor is it just s/m or leather women. I've even heard from an old friend, a vegetarian and animal rights activist, who uses a canvas harness remarkably similar to the leather ones. She adapted it from a truss she got at a yard sale."
