Not sure what I was looking for in reading this title. I feel a great need to always learn something, and this book generally afforded me an opportunity to understand more about why some people are perhaps obsessed with the asshole. I never have been, other than to take a good peek at my pile from time to time after a healthy bowel movement. I am aware of how sensitive the anal area is, of course, but have no compulsion to have a finger, tongue, or prick inside it. Neither does my wife, though there was a time several years ago when we experimented a bit over what all the fuss was about. Not long after a few penetrations to her sacred hole, she announced to me that her ass would be forever-on just exit-only. But I do get the surrender and submission dogma Toni Bentley details in her well-written memoir of ass fucking. I suppose the void of intimacy regarding her personal relationships is where I found the book lacking. She certainly loves to prepare for sex, however. And that is a very good thing by my way of thinking. Bentley is definitely promiscuous, and I thought I might learn more about a behavior that so far has eluded the bulk of my relationships, and more specifically, my marriage. But Bentley is certainly intelligent, and a well-read writer. All of us get our needs met in different ways, and she is no exception. Bentley just seems to have a hunger impossible to assuage. The candour of this book is its real strength. For some, the frank and even goofy descriptions of anal love may be, according to one's experience and expectation, appaling or appealing. But the real candour is not in this graphic material, but in the psychological insights, particular her awareness of the frequent, possibly inevitable loneliness which exists even in the most intimate moments.
Sex, it is always claimed, is immensely difficult to write about. But that's not quite true. To recount the embarrassments and alienation of lackluster coitus is a relative doddle. It is good sex -- or great sex -- that presents the real challenges for a writer. While Bentley certainly has the requisite pluck for the job, her prose, alas, proves incommensurate with her ambition.
Ex ballerina classica, Toni Bentley racconta in questo memoir la propria storia ma soprattutto la propria iniziazione erotica al sesso anale, l'incontro con l'uomo che le ha cambiato la vita, la scoperta di sé come donna e come persona, la predilezione per la sottomissione fino alla completa accettazione di sé. Toni Bentley è stata un'apprezzata ballerina con il grande maestro Balanchine al New York Ballet. Costretta a interrompere la sua carriera per un incidente alla gamba, ha iniziato a scrivere. Come giornalista collabora con "The New York Review of Books", "Rolling Stone", "Ballet Review" e altri giornali.

> MA REDDITION, de Toni Bentley, Traduit de l'américain par Isabelle D. Philippe. — Que fait ce livre érotique dans lnfosYoga ? D'abord les fêtes approchent ! Ensuite l'écriture est très agréable (lorsqu'on lit jusqu'à dix livres de yoga chaque mois une belle écriture fait du bien !) Mais surtout certains aspects de ce livre comme le chapitre (page 116) sur " la théorie du double sphincter " trouveraient leur place dans un traité de yoga. Il s'agit d'une réflexion (troublante) sur la relation des deux systèmes nerveux ! L'auteure est une ex-danseuse du New York City Ballet de George Balanchin et son livre est (finalement) profondément mystique ! Editions Naren Sel/18 € 266 pages. (MATHIEU)
