”The idea for a collection of erotic stories by some of South Africa’s best women writers sprung from my desire to present women’s intimate relationships with sexuality, as they really are, not as they are supposed to be, by some outside — often patriarchally driven — model,” writes Karin Schimke.

I’ve never bought the argument, mysteriously embedded in the ”breast is best” slogan, that ”better mothers breastfeed”, but I’m convinced that this social sub-text has turned discussion on the proposed new regulations relating to foodstuffs for infants into a one-sided rant, blindly supported by the media.
