Been There, Done That: A Rousing History of Sex by Rachel Feltman

funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

This was the book I needed at 16 and I still needed it today at 26. First of all, Rachel Feltman is hilarious. Second, I think I have a pretty open mind but this book was such a nice reminder and validation that nothing is really that weird. I wish I could go back in time and give this book to teenage me who was TERRIFIED of my own body and mind in regards to sex. 

SUCH a good read. 5/5.
