Sex Drive: On the Road to a Pleasure Revolution by Stephanie Theobald

5.0

Absolutely brilliant! As someone who has never read something quite like this, it was a great first experience for learning more about female sexuality and the literature around it. At first, it was a bit difficult to follow the witty and colorful writing, as I come from a country that rarely talks about such topics, and coming also from a place of ignorance about feminism and the women sexuality movement... It doesn't help that I'm not from the USA or the UK... But despite this discouraging premise, it was an incredible journey of discovery, of amusement and fun as I followed the steps of Stephanie Theobald and learnt more about these topics, from the most profound spiritual views to the most orgiastic physical ones.
I can't lie, I did end up jotting down the names of these incredible women the author met, and hopefully I will slowly read some of their works that have been so important in the USA and worldwide as stepping stones to feminism/women sexuality. I think it's a topic that is sometimes too ignored, even censured by ourselves or the people around us, when sexuality should actually be an act of self-love, happiness and natural desire.
I recommend it 100%
