Ophira Eisenberg / Screw Everyone: Sleeping My Way to Monogamy

SEE EVENT DETAILS
“Perhaps you think you have had some weird sexual experiences, and perhaps you have. But I can pretty much guarantee you have never approached Ophira Eisenberg's catalog of bizarre, hilarious, and sometimes touching (in more ways than one) libidinous escapades. Ophira is the woman every mother is worried their daughter will become, but let me assure all moms out there: if your daughter does grow up to be Ophira, rejoice. Because the world needs a lot more smart and hilarious women exactly like her.” -- Michael Ian Black

Ophira Eisenberg is a stand-up comedian, writer and host of NPR’s new weekly trivia show, Ask Me Another, and has appeared on Comedy Central, VH-1, E! and the TV Guide Network. And in her first book, Screw Everyone, she bares all: saying yes to everyone and everything, and eventually finding the “real thing”—one promiscuous encounter at a time.

Believing she could outsmart and out-bed them all, Eisenberg approached dating like a science experiment. She traveled from futon to futon, gathering data, figuring one day she’d put it all together and build her own perfect Frankenmate. As it turns out, she finds that the secret to finding true love is an open heart and a very large sample size.

Eisenberg’s unique dating experiences run the gamut from bad to bizarre. For instance, she learns that if your date asks if you’d “like to see something special,” this could easily mean a bedroom bursting with stuffed Garfields (which begs the question: if she performs well, will she get one?) When she challenges the limits of her own boundaries by giving S&M a shot, she finds a basement full of enthusiastic bald, middle-aged men, only too happy to receive her way-too-nice domination attempt. Despite the obstacles along her path of sexual evolution, she ends up finding a man who sees past her cavalier façade, and begins to convince her that it’s time to reevaluate her aversion to marriage and disbelief in monogamy.

Ophira Eisenberg is a frequent host and storyteller at The Moth. Consider this evening a small taste of Moth!
