An Intimate Look at Sexual Frigidity with author Cris Mazza
I’ll be talking with renowned author Cris Mazza whose poignant memoir tells the story of a girl who didn't feel the sexual awakenings she knew she was supposed to feel, and about the boy who loved her nonetheless. Thirty years later Cris Mazza went back to find that boy, now a man, only to discover that he’d never stopped yearning for her. Sadly, in an attempt to cauterize his feelings for her, he’d sealed himself into an abusive marriage.
Ultimately, Cris’ story is a love story that describes her reconnection with her childhood love, the man who never stopped loving her, frigidity and all.
Join me to hear Cris’ fascinating and heartfelt story.
