In the first essay by Peruvian journalist Gabriela Wiener, she recalls being invited to spend two nights at an unspecified location in Lima with polygamist guru of sex, Ricardo Badani, and his six wives. Her aim? To explore what she calls his “recycled but revolutionary formula for happiness.” Besides being a controversial and somewhat reviled figure in Lima, he and his wives run a successful lingerie store, where the clothing tags read: “Badani, instruments of seduction.” Wiener is instructed to bring white marshmallows for toasting, and upon arrival has her “honesty aura” read by one of Badani’s wives. Thus begins this collection of essays that open on the outskirts of Lima, jumps to a swinger’s party in Barcelona, and next a squirt expert’s apartment. This book can feel psychologically hazardous to read; it pushes you to answer the questions Wiener asks herself: Would I? Could I? Will I?
