Additionally, the way some of the book is presented is very informative/sex education focussed while other aspects are more memoir/opinion based. This is challenging because it runs the risk of folks conflating the two and taking unique experience or opinion as absolute fact.
5/10 would recommend (with a critical lens)

Zane's understanding of gender falls a little flat in this book, though. He (rightfully) points out the bisexuality isn't transphobic, and he notes that many discussions about sex and sexuality leave out nonbinary folks. But his gender thoughts don't go much deeper, and that causes some awkward and problematic remarks that pepper the entire books (like referring to trans women's tits as fake tits - trans women can grow their own tits, bro! or calling lesser-known sexualities, like omnisexual or fraysexual, neopronouns - I'm not sure where this mistake comes from?? But it is, nonetheless, a mistake.)

3.5
The books starts out so strong, talking about sexual shame, claiming your identity, and then being free with sexual desires that many may not understand. There’s definitely a lot to be learned about discussing polyamorous relationships.
Like some have mentioned, the ending takes a weird turn. Where the first two/thirds of the book are informative, the last part devalues safer sexual health practices and I feel like it became “preachy” about the authors way of life. Although he acknowledges his privilege throughout, the ending seemed like he was using his privilege to make a point that his way of life is best for all.
