Sexcapades

HoneyB
Grand Central Publishing (2008)

Reviewed by Sylvia Del Toro for RebeccasReads (4/08)

The main point of view I believe the author was trying to make was that one never knows what kind of life one is leading, despite what the outward appearance may be. Wow! The characters were so out there. I never expected the outcomes of each character. Each character struggled with their individual demons. Sex was definitely an issue no matter how “great” they thought they were. They were insecure and felt that the only way that they could control their partner was through sex. Even then they couldn’t. I believe we all can understand and even apply parts of it in our own personal lives -- not to the whole degree, but to use sex as part of control. How many times have we said to our partners, “I have a headache,” or “You got to be kidding!,” or “If you do this, I'll give you some!” Those are all control; sex for something in exchange. In “Sexcapades,” the control was applying sex to make them feel better temporarily to disguise the past.
