Everyone Is a Freak: Anonymous Confessions About Sex, Sexuality, and Desire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578491998)

Many people experience shame around sex and sexuality. Whether you identify as gay, straight, bisexual, queer, or transgender, chances are you've repressed your truth and your desires at points in your life for fear of how others might perceive you. But in reality, when it comes to sex, there is no such thing as "normal." Beneath the masks and labels we hide behind, we are all equally human.

Everyone Is a Freak unleashes the voices of a forward-thinking generation of sex and gender outlaws and "ordinary" people, challenging gender ideology, stereotypes, and social expectations. The collection includes intimate confessions and opinions from more than 100 contributors of various genders, sexual orientations, and age groups, from around the U.S. and around the world. These dirty secrets will empower humans everywhere to "come out of the closet," so to speak-to build up the courage to be more vulnerably honest and less afraid. From funny and embarrassing sex scandals and zany fetishes . . . to heart-wrenching confessions about discrimination and oppression, Everyone Is a Freak will make you laugh, cry, and lower your guard to humanity.

"Each page is a surprise--some delightful and some heartbreaking; so eloquently spoken in the voices of dozens of sex and gender outsiders, insiders, and people who take no side at all. A must-read for everyone."
