Question 1:
What inspired you to become vocal about female sexuality -- a specific event, a general frustration, a philosophical imperative, a sexual desire . . . ?




Sallie Tisdale:
In reply to Susie, Nancy and Betty . . . I notice that each of us began to tell our sexual stories out loud as a reaction to our own sexual experiences and the discovery that ours was not the only story. That's important, I think -- I've found in talking to people that the urge to talk about and hear about sexual experience is very strong. When I was doing interviews for my last book, all kinds of people (even editors!) called me up and asked if I would, please, interview them -- just because they'd never had a chance to talk about it, or a chance to let others talk about it. Here we are, decades after the so-called Revolution, and we still find it painful to talk about it. Each of us was moved -- transformed -- when we found that our own sexual experience was only a small part of the big, complicated picture . . . Question 1
