Erica Jong Talks 'Sugar in my Bowl'

Forget 'Fifty Shades of Grey.' Erica Jong and real women discuss real sex

The cover of Erica Jong's new book, Sugar In My Bowl. For the Prime Time Focus radio piece.

Decades before Fifty Shades of Grey hit the best-seller lists, Erica Jong wrote about women enjoying sex for sex's sake in her watershed novel, Fear of Flying. Jong is still actively engaged in the topic with her first anthology: articles by women writers on their sexual experiences, from first sex to no sex to sex after children to sex after 80. Prime Time Radio speaks with Jong about Sugar in my Bowl (named for a Bessie Smith blues song) and women's ongoing search for sexual — and soul — satisfaction.
