My Sex Life by Farzana G Butt


My Sex Life
Why have I decided to give my to-be-published book such a provocative title: My Sex Life?  Because, growing up in Pakistan, and later moving to the US I have realized that unlike men, women’s lives, to a large extent, are associated with their sexuality.  That in this male-dominated world a woman is considered more of a sexual-being than a human being.  My experiences in life too had, almost always, something to do with sex, especially the experiences that involved working or associating with a man.  Yes, it is a provocative title of a book written by a Desi woman.  Yes, in South Asia people will raise eyebrows on this title.  Yes, my family members will be embarrassed by it.  Even with all these Yeses I still have to be honest and give a name to the book, it rightfully deserves.
