The English and Sex Or the Shadow of Hypocrisy

The Virgin Phoenix
Most English girls lose their virginity by the age of 16. Is that a good thing? Is female virginity still praised as it was in earlier times? What's the point of it anyhow? Does it matter? The author reviews the attitudes to female virginity, discussing the behaviour of both the ancient and the modern. He suggests that the present-day approach to an early, if not casual, surrender by woman of her virginity is open to abuse and that modern woman - and indeed society - might profit by a more restrained approach to underage sex. Amongst the matters considered by the author are religious attitudes to virginity and the increasingly popular debate concerning infibulations and excisions of the clitoris. The ravages of feminist fire have burnt out the virginity of British young girls. It is time for it to be reborn, phoenix-like.
Mark Seliger In My Stairwell
The stairwell of New York photographer Mark Seliger may be unadorned, decidedly offstage, and very small, but the creativity of so many talented people jammed into one space is enormous. Each artist, dancer, and writer brings a different personality to the room, and Seliger captures that spirit in each photograph. From Paul McCartney to Susan Sarandon, from Tom Wolfe to Lou Reed, all of the participants in this project demonstrate the greatest integrity and highest creativity in their crafts. Other memorable portraits include those of Tony Hawk, Richard Serra, Bill Irwin, Laurie Anderson, and Lenny Kravitz. All 75 photographs were printed with a turn-of-the-century platinum palladium photographic process, a procedure that results in a highly detailed, rich texture. The images are printed in tritone. Fred Woodward, the prominent New York designer of Rolling Stone and such ground-breaking books as Crazy, Sexy, Cool, is the mastermind behind the book's cutting-edge design.
Fresh Out of Pain
These poems chart my journey from a place of acute internal pain to one of self realisation; My hurt inner child through to my Wild hairy man.
