Wednesday Martin explores female sexuality from both personal and scientific angles. She tackles subjects society has condemned for centuries: adultery, monogamy, desire, women, and sex. Martin presents a contemporary view that contrasts male and female sexuality while examining the social consequences women face. Through interviews with experts and real women who have lived through both monogamy and infidelity, she reveals how societal constructs shape our understanding of female desire. The book challenges readers to step outside their comfort zones and reconsider long-held beliefs about women and sexuality. Martin's approach combines rigorous research with intimate personal accounts to create a work that will permanently shift how readers think about sex and women.
