How to Think More About Sex by Alain de Botton
3.0
I don't know how to feel about this one! I liked it at one point until I hated it.
Sometimes he makes good points about pornography and after that he normalizes adutery and I get confused. Also, he talks about repressing your sexual "needs" like it's the hardest thing to do ever, when it's not. It's easy not to sleep with someone, it's easy to stand there and not go flirt with someome. The hard part about loyalty is to talk your problems through with your partner.
Also a couple of techniques he suggested to revive sexual desire aren't arousing, it's disgusting.
Overall, this book urged me to read more about this very topic to get a clearer view.
