UK readers are buzzing about it, gossiping on lunch dates and whispering at the
office. Men are tantalized, viewing that sexy, mature woman in a whole new way.
The newest erotic memoir to hit the bookstores is a bestseller that most US
readers may not even have been lucky enough to discover for themselves yet. And
you don't want to miss out. Novelist Suzanne Portnoy is publicly announcing that sexual enlightenment increases with maturity, satisfaction in the bedrom (and outside of it) is a possibility, even a must-have, at any age. And she's declaring the same by way of her new book, The Butcher, the Baker, The Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir  .
Suzanne explains, "after 44 years I felt I'd reached a stage in my life where I
was finally happy and content. I wanted to share my sexual journey with others
in the hope that women – and men – of all ages might find comfort in my
experiences and even be enlightened."
The quick description colors The Butcher, the Baker, The Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir
as "an erotic memoir of self-discovery and sexual
awakening. The true-life story of a successful business woman whose
marriage falls apart in her mid-forties. Suddenly on her own, a single-parent,
she meets a sexy New Yorker on-line, and begins a 3000 mile odyssey of
perversions, including exhibitionism, group sex, fetish clubs and hours of
pornography" (Amazon). Yet, it's so much more than that.
The best writing is shared when the author is moved to write on a topic or experiences that have really stirred them, taken them to a new plane, and have the power to affect us all in a positive way. The same inspired Suzanne to write her first novel. "When it comes to relationships and sex, I've made many unconventional choices. I’ve never sat around waiting for Mr. Right to come along. Most women pine for a Prince Charming, and although I have a boyfriend mantra of my own, a kind of wish list on my kitchen bulletin board that says 'Job, House, Car, Single, Looks,' I'm not 'making do' with Mr. Almost Right. (Mr. Right Now, however, is a different story – in fact, there are quite a number of them in my book.) I like having a phonebook full of men who make me laugh and come, but who don't have the time for, or interest in, a full-on relationship. It keeps life interesting. A lot of erotic memoirs coming out at the moment are written by women in their twenties. I'm cheered that so many women are scoring – and keeping score. But I question their perspective. I think if you're not shagging around in your twenties, there’s a problem. And I've discovered that if youre still shagging around in your forties, people think there is a problem. I hope what makes my very diverse sexual experiences more interesting, more relevant to women of all stages in life, is that, having experienced a promiscuous youth, a fairly sexless marriage, and the loss of someone close, I've emerged, two decades after my first sexual experiences, more mature, more savvy about men, more sexual."
If you haven't browsed
The Butcher, the Baker, The Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir Here's a little taste excerpted from the novel to wet your appetite: Weekends start off well if I’ve got the kids in the car by six-thirty and over to their father a few minutes later. If I make it to Rio’s by seven, I get fucked for free. Otherwise, the admission fee kicks in, and I’m paying £11 for the privilege of getting laid. Until Sunday evening, when I cross London again to pick up my sons, it’s “me” time. Many Friday evenings I’m tempted to stay home, pour a glass of wine and put my feet up, rather than serve as a human shuttle service. It’s a struggle to get ready to go out on the town. I’m tired after a busy work week. My super king-size bed is calling, calling, even if I’ll be jumping into it alone. And yet I think, Stop being so pathetic. You’re only 44, for fuck’s sake, and there are many men out there. And I’ve only got four days and two nights a month to meet them. When my ex-husband has custody, I have my freedom. And freedom means sex. It's time to introduce yourself to the work and mind of Suzanne Portnoy as well. I know we'll be titillated by her time and again.
