It is the old question: what do women really want?, how would she like to get it? The issue in this article is taken up with the business of women writing sex memoirs. Sure, women are lusty and horny, yet it is, of course, more complicated than that. Apparently, it is a question that a woman is always asking herself - before, during, and after sex (so long as she is conscious, I suppose). The following excerpt from Katherine Angel's
Unmastered is held up as an example of this: 'When her partner “pushes himself deeper” into her, she’s ambushed by a fantasy about him hitting her'.

It remains unclear; what do I mean? Being slapped? I don’t think so. Punched? Surely not. Somewhere between the two, perhaps. The content has blurred edges, but the feeling is precise.
I want him to do something like hitting. Something—something—that would stop me in my tracks.
I want to say crazy stuff, I whisper. He says, Tell me.
But I don’t; I hold back.
