Book Description
From Behind The Glitter Curtain: An Erotic Memoir breaks the boundaries. Think HBO's Sex and the City meets HBO's Insecure. FBTGC is sexy, funny, and honest. A collection of stories about self-love, sexual health awareness, and navigating emotions: Carolyn Toney straps you in and takes you on a journey of life and sexuality written with a comedic flair. From the graphic sexual descriptions that will make you blush to the abrupt and unforeseen pitfalls that dating in the digital era come with, she retells stories of heartbreak, therapy, and racism to remind you that you're reading stories that someone actually lived. The book champions sex-positivity, putting yourself first, and not shying away from uncomfortable topics, like being herpes positive. Some refer to being positive within the herpes-positive community as having glitter -You know because glitter lasts forever. By bringing the virus to the front of the conversation, she hopes that the stigma can one day be broken. She discusses her diagnosis so candidly it will make you realize how common it is, and it will make you question, Why is there a stigma in the first place? From Behind The Glitter Curtain is her literary coming-out story. This book is honest, vulnerable, and unapologetically human.
