Philosophical self-help books are the only ones that work for me. I liked this book. One part in particular really spoke to me, but as this author explains, we’re all weird about sex and that includes me so I’m not telling you which part it was.

Strikes me as a nice companion to read alongside Alan Bennett's "Smut." Both write about a sticky subject in a cheerful and thought-provoking way.

Insightful book, definitely worth reading. I would have given it five stars if it had been more gender balanced.

Interesting premise, but, not surprisingly, the philosopher writer has some issues. And it's also not a particularly seductive read.

Not very good. But there are a few paragraphs towards the end of one chapter that talked about how we mostly don't approach relationships consciously, and while that in itself is not groundbreaking, it's something we all need reminding of every now and then. I think we could all do with more thoughtfulness and intentionality in our relationships.
But yea, I don't think anything else in here is really worth it.

Taking a step back and exploring the idea of sex from psychological, biological, and social lenses paints a very vivid picture. Not only is the stigma surrounding conversations around sex touched upon in this short read - so too are themes of fidelity and romance, in an unbiased and objective way. My only criticism is that it centers more around the male psychology, the male biology and the social orientations of men about and toward sex.
