Tongue First by Emily Jenkins

Testing the boundaries between fear and temptation, Emily Jenkins takes us on a journey from ordinary physical experiences (going to the dentist, putting on stockings) to extreme ones (snorting heroin, head shaving). She interviews people whose bodies are radically different from hers and enters communities where people share unusual ideas about physicality. Her exploration of bodily thrills and paranoia goes from aerobics to acupuncture, strip shows to sensory deprivation.
