Overall a good book and fun read. I loved the illustrations! I also really appreciated the level of inclusion through the book.
There were sections that i was looking forward to reading for my own genderqueer-ness and my physical disability. And while i was glad for the recognition and inclusio, i didn't find them very helpful or in depth. I suppose I was hoping for more specific tips & tricks, but these sections were mostly validation and reassurance to "just be patient with yourself and your body". Which, yes, that's true, but isn't particularly helpful.
I would definitely recommend this book for young adults and any beginner to masturbation. For us seasoned vets, there may not be much new information, but as such a short book, i still recommend a read, if only for the fun and funky artwork!

The section on pornography is not teen friendly, but it’s clearly marked as 18 and up. I removed it for my kid. Otherwise very informative book.

A short but fairly informative read. I appreciate that it expanded to include information for trans and disabled people; as someone cis and abled, it also educated me and gave me some perspective (note: the authors are both trans or disabled in their respective sections, so this is an own voices book). I would say overall, this is a great rundown on sexual health re: masturbating with terminology, anatomy, methods, history, and statistics. There is a section analyzing guilt from religion/society and referrals for sex toy stores.
One note I would give to publishers is in this physical copy, pages with graphics that were centered needed more spacial allowance for binding. There would be diagrams or words that were too centered that I couldn't see or read well because of this.

This is the standard for all sex ed books going forward! I loved this book from beginning to end and it was gender neutral! It has been a point of frustration with sex ed books that it's very gendered. I love Liu's writing was fun but informative like talking to a friend. My only complaint that it was way too short.
