A few months ago I picked up Behind the Bedroom Door and had a few nights of squirmy entertainment. Why squirmy? Well, the writing is essay style, not Penthouse letter style, so it's not so much titillating as, well, strange to read. Strange in a refreshing way, though. It isn't often that people, let alone women, write directly about their sexual relatonships and struggles in a frank and forthright manner. So I wouldn't call the book erotic, exactly, though there are some erotic parts, and I wouldn't call it tame, though there are some tame parts.
I would call the book necessary, though. If you want to find out what real women do in real bedrooms with real lovers, read this book. It's very interesting to see how women manage their sexual urges, thoughts, and experiences. It gives you a fascinating yardstick for measuring what is healthy vs. unhealthy, or for exploring your own sexual limits without having to act them out.
If you want a good book to read by the pool when the kiddies aren't about, this is one for you.
