The Big Questions Book of Sex & Consent
by Donna Freitas
The Big Questions Book of Sex & Consent by Donna Freitas
Is interesting …
but fatiguing
First off it says it’s a book for everyone, and talks a lot about college students but it written in a style and formatting that seems more geared to 13-16 year old who are not remotely sexually active.
The writing seems like the self professed “cool mum” with over italicize words and lots of brackets saying “ick another philosophy” “I know I know”. But some of it seems really off base or out of touch. In the first chapter she asks reader to go for a walk, run etc in nature and think about the big questions. Without a cellphone. That just naive, unsafe, and stupid - no just from a sex standpoint, but just a safety stand point what if you fall, get lost, need Uber, money etc.
It was extremely basic and very much written in a way that assumes the reader knows nothing about sex. Which is great for a first sex book, not the mechanics of sex but the social aspect of it. But not so great for someone like me who regular reads sex and consent books. I’m a bit more disappointed because I bought this book in independent book store and it was shelved next to books like The Right to Sex and other philosophy books about sex who’s reader is more experienced.
This book is for anyone wanting to find a book for those entering into their sexual phase of their life. Those whom have not had these questions or need a basic understanding of sex and consent.
