Desire Lines

Are you ready to go on a journey with desire?

If you’ve ever felt that there’s more to your sexual self than society and the media want you to believe, then this book is for you. The time has come to stop simply reflecting what society expects us to be, and — instead — to explore our desires and emanate who we each truly are. 

Anna Sansom offers an inspiring and original look at the unique paths we take when we follow our personal desire lines. She shares stories of her own sexual journey, along with evocative erotica, poetry, and reflective questions, to help you explore and create a map of your own desires.

“Anna is willing to go to her edges when writing and courageously brings through themes and ideas that perhaps other writers would shy away from. She gives voice to those who may have been reluctant to share their own stories, and challenges the reader of Desire Lines to explore their own desires and get to know their sexual self.” Nicola Humber, mentor to Unbound women, and author of UNBOUND

“The world needs more writers like Anna Sansom. She gives voice to multi-layered, diverse experiences of desire, in particular when it comes to expressing female sexuality in a non-misogynistic, empowering way.” Brida Seaver 

Anna is a former sexual surrogate partner and wrote the Sex/Life column for DIVA Magazine for two years. Her published erotica includes short stories and a full length novel. Frustrated by the limited and restrictive portrayals of women’s sexuality in the mainstream media, she is driven to offer alternative perspectives. Desire Lines provides a unique and insightful way of looking at sexuality by exploring the themes of our desires, rather than focusing on specific fantasies. These themes (our personal desire lines) help to reveal who we are, what we need, and what we want, to thrive as sexual beings.

Desire Lines contains graphic language and descriptions of sex and sexuality, including kink and BDSM, gender and body non-conformity, lust and love. Anna embraces diverse experiences of sexuality including explorations of queer identities and ethical non-monogamy. This book was a co-creation with Lilit...
