Tracy Clark-Flory grew up wedged between fizzy declarations of "girl power" and the sexualized mandates of pop culture. It was "broken glass ceilings" and Girls Gone Wild infomercials. With a vague aim toward sexual empowerment, she set out to become what men wanted--or, at least, understand it.
In her moving, fresh, and darkly humorous memoir, she shares the thrilling and heartbreaking events that led to discovering conflicting truths about her own desire, first as a woman coming of age and then as a veteran journalist covering the sex beat. Tracing her experiences on adult film sets, at fetish conventions, and during an orgasmic meditation retreat (to name just a few), Clark-Flory weaves in statistics and expert voices to reckon with our views on sexual freedom.
Want Me is about looking for love, sex, and power as a woman in a culture that is "freer" than ever, yet defined by unprecedented pressures and enduring constraints. This is a first-hand example of one woman who navigated the mixed messages of sexual expectation, only to discover the complexity of her own wants and our collective need to change the limitations of that journey.

FASCINATING READING FOR MODERN READERS: This book will speak strongly to millennial women who grew up in the nineties and aughts as it gives voice to and defends some of their generational experiences, and more broadly, to any woman navigating sex and relationships in the 21st century. Tracy also explores fascinating worlds still considered taboo, and although the book primarily engages with heterosexual dynamics, queer women will also find plenty that broadly speaks to them around women's relationships to fantasy and gender identity.
AUTHOR CONNECTIONS: Tracy is very close with Peggy Orenstein, who has read the manuscript in its early stages and will be happy to promote. She is also connected with other feminist authors like Jessica Valenti and Rebecca Traister.
