This was such an awesome informative read. If you want to learn more about women's sexuality, then you will absolutely find something worthwhile here. I will also say that I learned some valuable tools and gained insight into other parts of my life as well. Awesome all around :)

This book comes highly recommended, and I can see why. It definitely helps upend a lot of the stories society has told us about women and their sexuality. Most of it wasn’t exactly brand new information to me, but the packaging or framing of these concepts was interesting. The part about “stress loops” and how we can close them was definitely fascinating, and I’m not surprised this author expounded on this matter in her next book. I am curious to read that one. I’m glad I read this one, even if I didn’t love the reading experience. Despite the author’s enthusiasm and positivity, the subject matter often felt heavy, and I had to take it in small bites.

This book should be required reading for all vulva owners and their partners. It redefines sex and confronts the societal pressures and falsehoods that are heaped upon us every day. Not only does it discuss the acts of sex itself, but it dives deep into the psychology of self-criticism, trauma, and doubt. 

The takeaway from this book is simple: You are normal.

If you've ever felt broken, unworthy, or unloveable, I strongly urge you to pick up this book. It is both funny and powerful.
