Summary: Healthly Attitude
Review: A very interesting author wrote this book. She significantly points out how we do limit our sexuality and how we can expand our thinking of our own sexual beings and this is perfectly OKAY! The author is very sensible and quite funny and this was really enjoyable reading. She explains it what we know in our hearts to be true about truth and sex and living and dealing with both. This book was very open, intelligent and honest and spoke of the sexual issues we should be discussing with our own partner and they should be the one listening

Summary: Roll Your Own Sexual Revolution!
Review: I found in Full Exposure a wonderful, sex-positive volume, melding philosophy, apologetics, and personal anecdotes. I enjoy Susie Bright's casting the burden of proof onto the naysayers, requiring that the repressed and the frightened justify their censorious dogma. And when they try, she shoots them down, like beer cans lined up on the back fence.She does, after all, write about (a fantasy of) making love to Dan Quayle ... reading that was the most I'd ever appreciated the man--and this leads to one of her _dogmas_: "Assume everybody is sexual." This is not a heavyweight philosophical deconstruction of the sexual attitudes of western society, but it is a nice guerilla attack on the sexual terrorism embedded in our culture. Susie encourages the readers to roll their own sexual manifestos, to question the manipulative & schizophrenic messages that we receive about sexuality, sensuality, and our bodies from the culture around us. A wonderful book to read if you're engaged in sexual liberation, whether from a sex-hating religion or from the commercial cooption of sexuality that constantly bombards us. A great starting point for your own sexual revolution! (If you'd like to discuss this review or book in more depth, please click on the "about me" link above & send me an email. Thanks!)

Summary: A good sexual attitude primer with heart and intelligence
Review: I found this book to be well written and very thoughtful. Bright has some supperb insight into sexual attitudes. This book might bore the already initiated but would make an excellent ground breaker for the the majority of people who give little serious thought to our antiquated sexual attitutes. Would make a good textbook for Sexual Attitude Re-assessment 101 classes.

Summary: Susie Bright lite
Review: I like Susie Bright. She's cute, she's fun, she's fairly sharp, and her heart's in the right place. It's hard to recall that once upon a time Bright was a sexual radical: Look, she's the lesbian co-founder of the in-your-face, pro-pornography sex magazine, "On Our Backs"! No, wait, she's bisexual! Say, isn't that her editing annual collections of erotica? Omigod, she's relating a sex fantasy about Dan Quayle! Today, with a steady male partner (in an open relationship) and a daughter about to enter her teens, Bright comes across almost matronly. It takes an essay like the one in this book about a bomb threat called in before one of her lectures to remind her of what's at stake and inspire some thoughtful writing, and to remind us all that large portions of the country still find someone like Susie Bright a threat. Unfortunately, with most of this book she's largely treading water. As other reviewers have noted, she seems to have said most of what she has to say. And at 163 pages, this volume comes in a little slim at the price. Newcomers to her may enjoy _Full Exposure_, but for harder, faster Susie, I'd go for _Susie Sexpert's Lesbian Sex World_ or _The Sexual State of the Union_. And after that, head for the even spicier pastures of Pat Califia's _Public Sex_.

Summary: Title is rather deceiving
Review: So, I bought this book thinking I was going to learn how to "open up to sexual creativity and erotic expression" but mostly what I got was "The World According to Susie." While some of her insights were actually quite good, I found the book disjointed. Rarely did it deliver what the title promised.

Summary: The Best She's Ever Written!
Review: Susie Bright is the most interesting writer we have when it comes to sex. She's funny, irreverant and wildly untamed and original. Lots of great information in this book!

Summary: My first Susie Bright book. :)
Review: This was my first Susie Bright book, as it was the only one I could find at the bookstore near my house. It didn't look as appealing as her others I'd heard of, but, if this is her worst, she's doing really well! Bright deals openly, honestly, and often humorously, with a subject others can be far, far too closeted about: sexuality. How our creative sexual energy is present in everything we do, and the negative effects of denying that simple fact, are both dealt with eloquently. At points, however, I felt like I was just being told things I already know. Still, isn't that a good feeling, when you see your thoughts & opinions validated in print by someone who has managed to publish them? And I can't say I'd already thought about everything she discussed, so there was still some educational value. Bright managed to ask a lot of thought-provoking questions that, if you try hard to honestly answer them, could change the way you look at the world. All in all, _Full Exposure_ was a quick, fun, witty, smart, thought-provoking read. I'd definitely recommend it.
