Drawing from her years of experience as a researcher and a psychotherapist, Leslie C. Bell takes us directly into the lives of young women who struggle to negotiate the complexities of sexual desire and pleasure, and to make sense of their historically unique but contradictory constellation of opportunities and challenges. In candid interviews, Bell's subjects reveal that, despite having more choices than ever, they face great uncertainty about desire, sexuality, and relationships. Ground-breaking and highly readable, Hard to Get offers fascinating insights into the many ways that sex, love, and satisfying relationships prove surprisingly elusive to these young women as they navigate the new emotional landscape of the 21st century. 606 $aYoung women$xSexual behavior 606 $aSexual freedom 606 $aMan-woman relationships 606 $aSexual ethics 606 $aWomen$xIdentity 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aYoung women$xSexual behavior. 615 0$aSexual freedom. 615 0$aMan-woman relationships. 615 0$aSexual ethics. 615 0$aWomen$xIdentity. 676 $a176.4 700 $aBell$b Leslie C.$f1970-$01044317 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452714003321 996 $aHard to get$92469896 997 $aUNINA
