Is Sex Necessary? | Rachel Hills | TEDxWestminsterCollege 

Ever feared that you’re undesirable? Not "normal"? Sexually dysfunctional or a deviant? Author Rachel Hills (The Sex Myth: The Gap Between Our Fantasies and Reality) has spent the better part of a decade talking to people about their sex lives, in a bid to understand the stories we tell about sex and why they matter.
Rachel Hills is an Australian writer living in New York City, who is interested in the space where the personal meets the political. Her work has been published in publications including the New York Times, Vogue, NYMag.com, Cosmopolitan, The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, and many others. Rachel's first book The Sex Myth: The Gap Between Our Fantasies and Reality examines the invisible norms and unspoken assumptions that shape our experiences of sex, and was published by Simon & Schuster in August.
