From Behind The Glitter Curtain: An Erotic Memoir, breaks the boundaries. Think HBOs Sex and the City meets HBOs Insecure. FBTGC is sexy, funny, and real. Carolyn Toney straps you in and takes you on a roller-coaster journey of sexuality and self-love. At times you’ll feel like you’re reading an erotic novel, and just when you’re at your peak, she swiftly transports you to a comedy show. She beautifully weaves in stories of heartbreak, bad sex, self-harm, therapy, and racism to remind you that you’re reading stories that someone actually lived. From losing her virginity to coming to grips with her sexuality to the headaches of online dating, ghosting culture, and unrequested dick pics, she discusses it all. Not shying away from uncomfortable topics, she addresses sex education and sex-positivity from a human perspective, with no judgments, just facts. She refers to herpes as glitter, a whimsical reference for herpes (because it lasts forever). It’s discussed so openly and candidly, it will make you question, Why is there a stigma in the first place? From STD/Is to feminine issues to self-pleasure, she steps from behind the glitter curtain to let you know you’re not the only one, and it’s going to be OK.This book is honest, vulnerable, and unapologetically human.
