Ten Men: A Year of Casual Sex

An unflinching account of one woman's year exploring the tangled mess of modern sexuality. A Stylist pick of the best non-fiction for 2024. TEN MEN, MANY STORIES. At the beginning of the year, Kitty Ruskin decided it was time to embrace her sexuality, taking advantage of all the joys that being young, free and single bring and having fun, easy, no-strings sex with whomsoever she desired. She got on the apps and started swiping. What followed was sometimes sexy, frequently funny, occasionally shocking and, sadly, all too often fraught with pain and danger. It was not the carefree adventure she had envisaged; it was something altogether darker. Ten Men is one woman's tale told with searing honesty. It's an exploration of the 'blurred lines' that even seemingly nice guys can exploit, a meditation on the lack of clarity around consent and a call to arms to combat a culture that seems to thrive on women's vulnerability. AUTHOR: Kitty Ruskin works for TIME. After completing a Masters in Literature from the University of Edinburgh, she started her career in fashion writing and (less glamorously) in writing profiles for wedding bands. Now she writes about women's issues and mental health, and specialises in audience engagement. Ten Men is her debut book.

Ideal for readers interested in reading.
