Tracy Clark-Flory talks about her new book Want Me: A Sex Writer's Journey Into the Heart of Desire.
We talk about sexuality, desire, grief, and love. Not to mention pregnancy, a maturing sexuality, and the neoliberal feminist myth of sexual empowerment and "having it all."
Tracy Clark-Flory is a senior staff writer at Jezebel. Her work has been published in Cosmopolitan, Elle, Esquire, Marie Claire, The Guardian, Women's Health, and the yearly Best Sex Writing anthology. Prior to Jezebel, she was a senior staff writer at Salon, where she covered the sex beat for years. She lives in the Bay Area with her family.
