Description
The Body is Designed for Pleasure In a world where women are having sex they don't want in order to please men they don't much like; where men take more pleasure on internet sites than in their own lovers and the pressure is constantly on to be having great, "red hot" sex all the time - where even Caitlin Moran admits she baulks at using the word "masturbation" - this is essential reading. Beginning with a women's workshop where she has to get completely naked, Isabel journeys on behalf of all women through the first international conference of clitoral stroking, is informed of eleven different forms of orgasm - ten of which she hasn't had - and endures NHS Kegel exercises and mystical sensations with tantric masters. Irreverent yet open-minded, Sensation is both moving and challenging. For anyone who has ever been tempted to dip their toes in the deep waters of sexual exploration, Isabel Losada plunges you straight in. In the way that Cathy Rentzenbrink and Matt Haig have brought the conversations about bereavement and depression respectively into the open, Isobel Losada's Sensation will do the same for sex, pleasure and relationships. "Nakedly frank and frankly nakedly necessary" - Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller "Candid, thought-provoking, sassy and very, very funny." - Mick Brown, Daily Telegraph, on Isobel Losada

Reviews
"I have learnt from Isabel that we are not approaching sex in a very conscious and connected way. It's very interesting to read a woman talking plainly and mechanically about sex. I want to learn this stuff."
--Russell Brand
"Sensation is Isabel Losada's account of a year spent exploring the subject of female pleasure; part memoir, part guide, part manifesto for the the cause of more happiness and better relationships. In a happy blend of of informative and informal writing, Isabel has the knack of of presenting complex themes clearly and simply.... Sensation explores the gentle beauty of intimacy and pleasure in human relationships; it's impossible not to be entertained, educated, amused and inspired."
--The Amorist.
"Let's talk about sex. No, not that kind of sex. Not the kind of Christian Grey, multi-positioning screaming sex with props that 'everyone else' is apparently having. Let's talk instead about the much more important, deeply nourishing, 'normal' sex we could ALL be having if we brought more honesty to the bedside table.
"This kind of sex conversation is the point of Isabel Losada's new book, "Sensation: Adventures in Sex, Love and Laughter." Losada leaves no stone unturned - or should I say unturned-on? Nakedly frank and frankly nakedly necessary."
--Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller
