Missing diversity even cultural practices by different ethnicities, Needed to have more scientific explanations and more examples of  how to experience more pleasure and a run through of different kind of sensory exercises to enhance sexual pleasure. Needs to go more in-depth with negative sexual experiences things that can result from them and how to overcome them. 

Overall a good beginner book to start self acceptance and loving your body and enjoying positive sexual experiences.

felt like a good balance between informative and informal, like even tho im not a sciencey person i was able to understand the science the author was talking about

thought the personas were helpful in illustrating the points she was trying to make

also liked that it was read by the author bc you can tell shes passionate about the subject and her tone made it more lively

Really enjoyed how well-researched this book is as well as the social commentary. The encouragement to embrace yourself, whatever that looks like, reassured me. I enjoyed the author’s writing style too. The stories shared resonated with me.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would for sure recommend it to others who want to keep exploring their sexuality or those who are seeking validation that they’re normal. I easily understood the concepts and found them relevant to my own life. 

Her final words were warm and inclusive. Loved it.

Lots of important scientific info about sex. The writing was accessible, but a little awkward at times. The audiobook had music at times which was weird and annoying. There was a lot of repetition, which can be helpful for people to retain info, but it was a bit much. Overall, I learned a few things that made me feel better about myself and sex in general.

Reading this book will probably be the first time you hear there is nothing wrong or broken about your sexuality. It’s informative, easy to understand, and has something for everyone.
