imalahakhund 's review for:
How to Have Feminist Sex: A Fairly Graphic Guide
by Flo Perry
funny
informative
lighthearted
fast-paced
I feel like if you are already familiar with certain topics of sexual positivity club/inclusivity politics/feminist sex-ed and stuff you may not find anything much new from the book but I liked reading about the concepts of Genital Non-cordinance and The Dual Control Model of Sexual Responce, not that it was the first time I was reading about them (I think I first came across them in one of Hannah Witton's YouTube videos referencing Emily Nagosky, which I have yet to read). The book is pretty short and meant to be read in an hour or less which is why it doesn't go in depth but I feel like to beat the lack of proper sexual health education some things just need to be talked about in detail. Also probably due to brevity but there was atleast one important topic that wasn't even touched really and that is birth control/contraception.
There were stuff that I didn't really agree with, maybe because I may not be the "right targetted audience" for this or maybe I need to read more on them. I was apprehensive about sharing my pov because I don't want to invite unnecessary critism and would probably be more comfortable doing my own research and study but then who cares 💅🏼 we are all learning stuff everyday. So the author says even if you are not a "virgin" you are still allowed to say that you are if you want to, I am not sure how dating and hook up culture works but to be honest I feel using that to get into someone's pants or getting someone in your pants is pretty unnecessary. For what's worth I don't even like the term anyways and also don't like the phrase "losing virginity". And another thing that just felt off to me was her saying that the same experience can be "bad sex" for someone and it can be "sexual assault" for someone and another line where she says not everyone who sexually assaults someone needs to be legally punished, I feel am not exactly sure where I stand on that. I have other disagreements like "reply within 24 hr or you stand accused of ghosting" but these were my mains.
Other than that it's a quick, fun read. I may not recommend the book to anyone but it was still okayish. If you want to read a short book on sex that still covers some important stuff maybe check out Lynn Enright's Vagina A Re-edication.
