The Nigel Sessions
"I am a homosexual man in a woman's body." This is the author's revelation, a secret which she has kept for many years. According to her, she has lived with this dichotomy, enjoying her feminine nature but knowing that her inner gay man had limited expression in fantasy only. During the thirteen-month period surrounding her fiftieth birthday, however, she was able to realize her burning sacred to make love to a man as man. As a result, she became connected to a deep, sensual part of herself that made her feel whole for the first time.
Several years ago sex columnist Dan Savage coined the term "pegging" to describe the specific type of sex Sophia explores with Nigel in her memoir. It involves the use of a woman wearing a strap-on penis to penetrate a man. Both Sophia and Nigel are "sexual switches" in that the clear lines between feminine and masculine, submissive and dominant are blurred and a more hermaphroditic sexuality is expressed.
Provocative and groundbreaking, this memoir weaves a quilted landscape of memories that yearn to understand the volcanic awakening of sacred desire. Sophia finds utter freedom in this time of her life--boldly maneuvering her newfound ecstasy as she rebirths her unconventional marriage with unconventional means. Phenomenal and riveting sexual explorations, in the form of ten "sessions" with Nigel and several others with her husband Will, make Sophia's story an adventure into the realms of kundalini, gender transcendence, and divine love.
Agapedis says, "My purpose for sharing my journey of sacred desire is to encourage you, the reader, to realize your own sacred desire without shame, judgment, or derision. For many years, I had kept my dual nature a carefully guarded secret--save for my husband, Will, and a few selected friends--and the price I paid was to not live life to the fullest. I am thrilled that I finally had the courage to be a whole person."
In telling us her tale, Sophia Agapedis has created an offering to wild-loving spirits everywhere who need to be fed the sweet fire of passion.
