The Intimacy Experiment is the second book in the sex positive world Rosie Danan has created, and it was fine. Just fine.
What I found confusing was that Naomi was giving dating advice - to encourage growth in intimacy, but as her attraction to Ethan grew only the physicality of their relationship was intimate. There seemed to be no other tie between them.
I don’t know, it just felt like a book written to say, “hey look, we’re diversifying our characters.” Then rested on that without really fleshing it out.
