VBB 210 Nona WIllis Aronowitz: author – Bad Sex: Truth, Pleasure, and an Unfinished Revolution!

Nona Willis Aronowitz is a writer/editor/author. Her book Bad Sex is a memoir-social history blend that examines the enduring barriers to true sexual freedom. Nona has a biweekly sex and love advice column for Teen Vogue and has written for publications like the New York Times, The Cut, Elle, VICE, and Playboy. “At thirty-two years old, everything in my life, and America, was in extreme disarray. My marriage was falling apart. My nuclear family was slipping away. My heart and libido were suffering from overexposure. Embroiled in an era of fear, reckoning, and reimagining, my assumptions of what “sexual liberation” meant were suddenly up for debate. In these moments of a personal and political sea change, the seeds for my book – Bad Sex: Truth, Pleasure, and an Unfinished Revolution – were planted.”
