Social Intercourse
by Greg Howard
tw// biphobia, homophobia, transphobic slurs, graphic sexual imagery, objectifying women, slutshaming, fatshaming
im so disappointed. i really wanted to like this book. but wow biphobia says hi.
there were a few moments that i liked here and there, but overall most of this book just got on my nerves. the characters were really unlikeable and walking stereotypes.
jaxon: a bisexual guy who's afraid to come out because he plays football and he's the most popular guy and his team is homophobic. dating the most popular girl in the school and he doesnt even like her.
oh yeah, he also gets turned on by every single person he sees. because yknow bisexuals have so much choice so they want to fuck everyone who moves.
beckett: an out of the closet gay guy, who wears minimalistic clothing, makeup,acts rlly feminine, and is a complete asshole.
so they pair up to separate their parents new relationship for their own gain. what a dick move.
theres so much biphobia in this books it actually pains me to read it. such as lines like "you say you want me now. what happens next week when you start craving vagina again?" or "how do you know that you're really bi? maybe you were just curious. a lot of horny straight guys experiment when they're young".
this ties in with the bi erasure in this book, when one of jaxons turns out to be bi, they refuse to accept it, "and she'll remember that she's and lesbian", "you do know what my mum is a lesbian right?".
theres also so much slutshaming and slurs like "whore", and objectifying women, like beckett calling jax's mum "big titties".
