Sexless in the City: A Sometimes Sassy, Sometimes Painful, Always Honest Look at Dating, Desire, and Sex by Kat Harris

4.5

Definitely for people who grew up in a certain religious context and have since tried to heal/move forward from that context. I heard about this book on a podcast like 5 years ago and always remembered the title because it’s funny. When I found the audio book on Hoopla, I thought it’d be painless to try it. I read all the “undoing” purity culture books for “fun”. It’s a tough genre that often lacks honesty and vulnerability. This gets 4.5 stars from me because, love it or hate it, it feels honest. This conversation exists in the real world and not some magical traumatizing church container like 99% of the popular conversations on this topic. 

Glad I waited to listen because idk if I would have been able to really understand her perspective 5 years ago over all the trauma. 

It has some of the Christian book voice and writing pitfalls, but I think it’s a worthwhile conversation.
