I highly recommend the audiobook because the author's voice really added a lot of charm and humour to the read.
This is a treasure! It's a fascinating, shocking, hilarious, & incredibly informative history of sex. It doesn't go in chronological order, but moves from different topics, going through the history and evolution of them. Nothing is off limits here. So if you're doing the audiobook, maybe you don't want to listen to it in the car with the windows down. Or maybe you do. That's cool too!
The author adds lots of nice touches of humour, especially to the absurdity of some of the topics. But I also greatly appreciate how she also doesn't hold back on discussing the inequality that women have faced (and still face) when it comes to everything related to sex and women's rights.
The author digs into everything from condoms to sex workers, abortion, douching, aphrodisiacs, menstruation, virginity, the word CUNT, & SO much more. Highly recommend!
