This was an enjoyable read. I would have liked more history and less information about current trends, editorializing, and personal narrative. But I liked it overall and definitely learned a lot of fun sex history facts!

I might give the printed copy a try but the audio version was so hard to listen to. Poorly mixed with variable volumes in the same sentence made headphones uncomfortable. The recording was also breathy and spitty and could have benefited from either more direction for the author (or better positioning behind the mic) or an audiobook actor reading the book.

if the word booktok does not have negative connotations for you already, then reading this is surely a way to ensure it. the prose is insufferable, the dinner party “metaphor” though experimental, was nonsensical, and the book is plagued by the language of “spice”. it is a book that wants to be sexually liberal while running from the “crass” language of sex altogether. a confusing read
i had this book marked on Libby since 2023, and i don’t think it’s aged well since then. not to say there’s anything particularly offensive in there to my knowledge, but the internet references and speech microtrends popularized by tiktok really don’t stand the test of time. i’m a big nonfiction reader with a history degree so this book should’ve been up my alley, but it felt like more fluff than facts.

funny and educational, and quirky. I could 100% see if someone wouldn’t jive with the audiobook version of this but had a fun time.

I had a wonderful time with this book, and felt a little more myself after finishing it.
The narration of this book is so childish sounding. The use of innuendo really sort of dampers the sex-positive nature of the book. Why tiptoe around the point? There is also a dinner party metaphor that is shoved down your throat.
