Kinky History by Esmé Louise James

DID NOT FINISH: 18%

This reads like a really long tik tok which is very jarring to read. The dinner table motif had potential but was super awkward and reading a sexual history book with constant immature euphemisms for sex didn’t go well with me. A lot of generalisations seem to be made about one statistical data and the author supported the idea that men are more likely to participate in non-monogomy citing one ted talk? I am glad queerness was included and is integral to to discussion it felt lacking in nuance with social media slang every five seconds…
I did enjoy reading about kinky history but I think we can do better.
