Full Service : my adventures in Hollywood and the secret sex lives of the stars (M)
by Scotty Bowers
"Newly discharged from the Marines after World War II, Scotty Bowers
arrived in Hollywood in 1946. Young, charismatic, and strikingly
handsome, he quickly caught the eye of many of the town’s stars and
starlets. He began sleeping with some himself, and connecting others
with his coterie of young, attractive, and sexually free-spirited
friends. His own lovers included Edith Piaf, Spencer Tracy, Vivien
Leigh, Cary Grant, and the abdicated King of England Edward VIII, and he
arranged tricks or otherwise crossed paths with Tennessee Williams,
Charles Laughton, Vincent Price, Katharine Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Errol
Flynn, Gloria Swanson, Noël Coward, Mae West, James Dean, Rock Hudson
and J. Edgar Hoover, to name but a few." - PublisherConfessions of a Naughty Mommy : how I found my lost libido (M)
by Heidi Raykeil
"Confessions of a Naughty Mommy is a funny, honest, and sexy
account of Raykeil’s search for her missing libido—lost in action after
she gave birth to her daughter. She takes readers along on her journey
from mystified and frustrated new mom through the bumpy awkwardness of
reigniting the home fires during naptime and date night to a newfound
discovery and appreciation of sex after baby. With humor, grit, and
style, she shares what has worked for her and her husband, as they
balance their dual roles of parents and lovers." - Publisher Life as I Blow It : tales of love, life & sex-- not necessarily in that order (M)
by Sarah Colonna
"From her formative years in small-town Arkansas to a later career of
dates, drinks, and questionable day jobs, comedian Colonna attempts to reconcile
her responsible side with her fun-loving side. Sometimes this pans out,
and sometimes she finds herself in Mexico handing out her phone number
to anyone who calls her pretty. She moves to Los Angeles to pursue
acting, but for years is forced to hone her bartending skills; she wants
a serious boyfriend, but won’t give up nights at the bar with her
friends. She tries to behave like an adult, but can’t seem to stop
acting like a frat boy. In the end, she discovers that there doesn’t
have to be just one or the other. And if there’s one thing Colonna has
learned from her many missteps, it’s that hindsight is always 100 proof." - Publisher A Round-heeled Woman : my late-life adventures in sex and romance (M)
by Jane Juska
“Round-heeled” is an old-fashioned label for a woman who is
promiscuous—someone who nowadays might be called “easy.” It’s a
surprising way for a cultured English teacher with a passion for the
novels of Anthony Trollope to describe herself, but then that’s just the
first of many surprises to be found in this poignant, funny, utterly
unique memoir.Jane Juska is a smart, energetic divorcée who decided she’d been celibate too long, and placed the following personal ad in her favorite newspaper, The New York Review of Books: Before I turn 67—next March—I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me. " - Publisher
