What Do Women Really Want In Bed?

We are exploring taboos (it is Soho, after all)...the kind of thing it's supposedly impolite to discuss at dinner parties. We kicked off with a lively discussion on politics last April “What the Hell Happens Now?” with editor of Politics.co.uk, Ian Dunt, broadcaster, Emma Barnett and political diarist Marie Le Conte. And this time we are turning up the heat with:

What Do Women Really Want in Bed?

Amanda Lees is hosting and will be joined by Madison James and Sophia Money-Coutts.

Sophia has also appeared on various radio and television channels, including the BBC, ITV, Sky and Channel 4, talking about topics like Pippa Middleton’s wedding and the etiquette of the threesome.

Her first novel is called The Plus One, as described in the Observer: ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary as interpreted by Julian Fellows, with more explicit sex…Money-Coutts can certainly write and some effective one-liners and unexpected poignant touches make this a classy read.’

‘The Plus One by Sophia Money-Coutts is so funny. And the sex is amazing – makes me feel like a nun! A funny first novel where class and sex are back!’ Jilly Cooper

Amanda Lees:

Amanda is the author of the bestselling satirical novels Selling Out and Secret Admirer (published by Pan) which have both received critical acclaim and have been translated into several languages. Her major YA thriller trilogy, Kumari, Goddess of Gotham, was nominated for the Guardian Children’s Book Prize and the Doncaster Book Award.

Amanda has a degree in drama and her first TV role was as a member of the Communist Resistance in 'Allo 'Allo. This involved running around with a dachshund tucked under one arm and deploying her best cod French accent. It has all been dramatically downhill since.

A broadcaster as well as an actress and novelist, Amanda appears regularly on BBC radio and LBC and was a contracted writer to the hit series Weekending on Radio 4. She has written for, or contributed to, The Evening Standard, The Times, New Woman, US Cosmopolitan, Bulgaria's Vagabond and Company Magazine as well as numerous online publications.

Amanda has conducted a love coaching phone-in from the sofa of Richard & Judy and wooed the viewers on Channel 5 Live. She won an award at the Hungarian Gyor Film Festival for a short film she produced, a psychological thriller called Pros and Cons. She has just completed a crime thriller set in Bulgaria where she has a house she bought with cash strapped to her leg and is currently working on a new psychological crime thriller for adults as well as multiple non-fiction projects.
