This was given to me as homework/ a recommendation and it was an overall moderate experience.
While reading the book there were several stories and points I feel like my younger self could have benefited from hearing. I do think that there are several people in different points of there sexual journey that I could see myself recommending this to.
This book, for me, didn’t bring in any new topics or science. But it is a book that put all the thoughts I wondered about and looked into when I was younger in one place.

Not what many might expect from the title/subject matter, and so transformative in ways beyond sex (like overall mindfulness and confidence/joy)!
hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

Really interesting segments on trauma, feeling your feelings, and mind-body science. Although I think the overuse of long-winded metaphors was redundant and… frankly just tiresome for my personal preference.
