What if the most transgressive thing a mother can do is prioritize her own pleasure?

That's the provocation at the center of Sarah Forbes's second book — and it's one she's spent years building the evidence to answer. Mama Sex: How a Perfect Storm Caused a Revolution is part historical guide, part personal narrative, part prescriptive support, and entirely necessary. Written from an anthropological perspective by a former Curator of the Museum of Sex, it tackles one of the last cultural taboos head on: maternal sexuality.

Join us at Lightning Society for the New York City launch, timed intentionally for Mother's Day weekend. Sarah will read from the book, share the ideas behind it, and open the floor for the kind of honest, curious conversation this subject deserves. Expect warmth, depth, and a room full of people genuinely ready to engage.

The book has already earned early praise from Esther Perel, who featured it in her April newsletter, alongside blurbs from UK voices including Zoe Blaskey and Melissa Hogenboom. Featured interviews with Kate Moyle, Hollie McNish, Clare Bourne, Clio Wood, Catherine Topham Sly, and Julianne Boutaleb round out a book that is as rigorously researched as it is personally felt.

This is Sarah's hometown. This is her moment. Come be part of it.
