"...In a culture where female empowerment is used to sell everything from sex toys to soap, most sex education continues to bypass pleasure.

An unfiltered blend of personal narrative and practical tips on relationships, solo play, journaling, gender issues, and more, Girl Boner will "empower you...

"La idea de esta novela comenzó con una imagen de dos señoras amigas que de pronto una noche, de una manera impensada para ambas, viven una situación erótica. Luego se fue convirtiendo en una historia policial, casi un thriller, y el thriller se fue transformando en una especie de mural de la sociedad peruana en los últimos meses o semanas de la dictadura de Fujimori y Montesinos.
