Sex from Scratch: Making Your Own Relationship Rules by Sarah Mirk

5.0

This! Book! is! So! Informative! Sarah Mirk interviews people from all corners of the world and all areas of the gender spectrum about every kind of relationship. Most chapters are a lengthy interview or essay—hi, Erica Moen, Stu Rasmussen, and Tristan Taormino, among others—followed by a list of tips from that interviewee for healthy relationships. Be nice to each other. Communicate deeply before diving into polyamory. Don’t fake orgasm. Be respectful of transitioning and new identities. Be clear upfront about if you want children. Be civil and graceful when it’s time for a relationship to end. It’s a great read to broaden your idea of what a relationship could be, and is one of my new favorite books about relationships.
