Setting out to shatter the myths and outright lies women have been taught about their sexual desire and their bodies, THE DILEMMA OF DESIRE follows four compelling women as they intimately explore what it means for them to find their voice and the courage needed to own their sexuality. Committed to the truth – call it “Cliteracy,” the acknowledgement and understanding that the clitoris is fundamental to the female orgasm – these women (a conceptual artist, two scientists, and an industrial designer) are out to change our culture.
