Minor: Transphobia

This graphic novel includes graphic depictions of sexual torture against ones will, but it is not glorified. Rather, consent to sexual exploration is framed in a favorable light.

5.0

Very sexy. Very smart. Very emotional. I loved the whole idea of a group of s3x workers coming together to save humanity from "The Party." It feels a bit like a superhero style story too, with everyone using whatever "powers" they have to break into the Party's headquarters and try to get justice. I really like how they shows the human side of s3x workers; that's very important and helpful for so many who don't get to meet sex workers. Overall, fun story and makes you think about how the government controls our bodies and what freedom really means in a country where bodily autonomy is always on the legislative chopping block. Highly recommended reading.

This book is OBVIOUSLY NOT for anyone under the age of 18. Be mindful that this book is about sexual pleasure in a myriad of ways and sex workers, so nudity and sexual scenes are pretty graphic in the book, which means you need to be careful where you open it in public. Non-consensual sexual torture is also in the book and is a part of the plot as well. There is gun violence in the later part of the book as well, and someone gets electrocuted. For those with religious traumas surrounding sexual expression and identity and gender expression, be aware this book could be triggering because it uses a lot of common religious phrases surrounding purity culture and sex as filthy and dangerous outside of strict heterosexual, monogamous, child-bearing sexual practices.
