Saw this on sale and couldn’t resist. Well, it’s a pretty good guide if you have no idea about anything, but otherwise it feels a little silly. Back to my regularly scheduled fantasy novels.

The title of this book still makes me blush, but it was quite pleasant read. I already knew quite a lot (especially thanks to [b:She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman|528985|She Comes First The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman|Ian Kerner|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348815265l/528985._SX50_.jpg|13654] and [b:Fruit Of Knowledge: The Vulva vs. The Patriarchy|36321848|Fruit Of Knowledge The Vulva vs. The Patriarchy|Liv Strömquist|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1527702324l/36321848._SX50_.jpg|42699187], both highly recommend), but the more practical and solo sex related information were mostly new to me. If you need to reinforce a sex-positive approach in your mentality, I would say this is quite helpful. There are also some practical and shopping tips. Nothing really goes into a great depth though - but there are recommendations for other recourses on more specific themes. The academic part of my brain also appreciates the list of sources, though the information that really caught my attention had none:

Seamstresses in the early 1900s were reported to use sewing machines to achieve orgasm by sitting near the edge of their chairs.

Just... What?! I need to know more...
