Really insightful and filled with so many interesting ideas. I was lucky enough to meet Katherine Angel and hear her talk about this book in person, and I really admire how intelligently she speaks about such a complicated subject. Really good read.
4.5 stars.
This was exceptional. Though I admit there were parts I can appreciate being described as dry or bloated, there were even individual sentences which genuinely made me want to shout in relief for feeling so vindicated. Vindicated for myself and for the people I love.
This was impeccable and the blueprint for rereading potential. I feel as though this would be life altering to put in the hands of young people, particularly those entering high school. This book should be mandatory reading for everyone, but I want to shove this in front of our political leaders, our health workers and everyone who has any semblance of power. I also just want it to exist so that anyone can read it, regardless of whether their lived experience spells RELEVANT out in bold capital letters.

Finished the first chapter and it was too gender-binary for my taste. I wanted a book that would have an understanding of sexual trauma from a nonbinary perspective as well.
I wanted more. Will likely be looking at the source material for more research.

very well written and engaging. while i went in already knowing i will probably be in agreement with the author i enjoyed her expansions on the topic of sex, consent, etc., making connections between familiar topics that i have not considered before. the psychological studies and her rebuttals of them were definitely highlight but then again, most of it was.

More like a series of interconnected essays than it is a book on its own, Angel’s work weaves together academic research and examples from fiction and pop culture to examine how the ethics of sex and sexuality have shifted in what she calls the “Era of Consent”. Angel observes how the focus of our conservation about sexual interactions revolving solely around consent leaves out so many other human factors. It was a great read that left me wanting to learn more.
Wow, this book was incredible. Reading it felt like good sex. I couldn’t put it down once I picked it up.
Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again is a smart analysis of consent, female sexuality, desire, fear of violence, and vulnerability. Filled with examples from pop culture, I found that the concepts were digestible and easy to understand. I am also a psychology fanatic, so it was really interesting hearing about the experiments done on female desire and arousal while also reading acknowledgement to their limitations.
Sex is a difficult topic to explore, particularly women’s sexuality given the many intersectionality of race, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic standing. This book gave a good analysis of the society that has been sculpted by the hands of men, what movements like #MeToo has done to present day feminism, and offers glimpses of hope into what good sex may move towards in the future.
I am in love with this book for its intellect, but also for its timing. It coincided perfectly at a time where I was questioning “is it okay not to know what I want?” and “why do I feel unsafe in the arms of someone who hasn’t done anything to hurt me?” I can only say that being vulnerable is high risk and high reward. I also loved how there was a bit dedicated to the vulnerability of men and acknowledging that they (despite being given the benefit of sexual desire being a drive) also have their qualms and desires outside of sex itself. Lots of great food for thought.
The only reason I give this book four stars is because it aligned almost too closely with my thoughts already and I worry that it would be an echo chamber of thoughts— I cannot say it was life changing (at times it may feel almost redundant), but it gave me a lot of clarity and language to express my thinking.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was an interesting perspective on the topic of sexual consent and what it means for women.
The author discusses how women's sexuality is viewed through the media and in society. I found her points about how women have had to deal with bad sex and prioritize male satisfaction over their own compelling. There definitely needs to be clear guidelines on what consent looks like and re-education for both women and men on what an ideal sexual interaction could be like for both. I often find that men put off satisfying women because it takes too long or they don't enjoy oral sex but expect women to put out and not complain. The author does a good job exposing many of the struggles women face with their sexuality. Hopefully sex will be good again soon.
