This discovery led her to question a decade of emotionally frustrating relationships with commitment-phobes. As she examined her past, she recognized that most of these relationships went off course at the precise moment sex was involved. Anderson decided it was time to spend a full year without sex to rediscover its meaning and purpose in her life. In this confessional account, Anderson shares the results of that year, narrating each month as she flirts, dates, and swoons but doesn't have sex. The results-her feelings about femininity, her body, and romance-are illuminating. Told with Elizabeth Gilbertesque candor, Chastened reveals much about our contradictory cultural attitudes toward sex and the ways intercourse has been used as a shortcut to deeper intimacies. An antidote to the growing genre of another-notch-in-the-bedpost memoirs, Chastened is a refreshing look at what's to be gained by going without. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Anderson, Hephzibah|xSexual behavior. 600 10 Anderson, Hephzibah|xRelations with men. 650 0 Sexual abstinence|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 Chastity|vCase studies. 650 0 Women|xSexual behavior|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 Man-woman relationships|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 Single women|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vBiography. 651 0 New York (N.Y.)|vBiography. 700 1 Eyre, Justine. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10755321?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781400197828_180.jpeg
