But, if there’s anything isolating about the book, besides the isolation that ultimately comes from reading the experiences of someone who isn’t like you, it’s the unstoppable British slang and voicey-ness. However I like to think I'm liberal, and I like to think that I'd look after the woman in my life in sexual terms, so after seeing this book recommended online by a woman for "straight males as well as women" I gave it a go and read the whole thing. I would recommend this book to any women who are struggling to find their way or some agency in their sex lives. Having said all of that, the book swiftly transitions, courtesy of the author at last coming across some empathetic men, to a sexual odyssey that lies far, far outside my comfort zone, and I suspect that of many others.

Although the inconsistencies feel forgivable and the best course of action feels like it’s just to ignore them. I think that this book was written just for me,with me sitting on the best seat in the house,,it was a privilege to listen. The paperback edition will be released in February 2020 published by Unbound , the book chronicles her journey to find some brilliant fucking. Overall, I don't know whether I'm more disappointed with the author's approach or with the fact that she mirrors a sad reality of the dating scene and women's self-hating mindsets in Britain. Moni nainen harrastaa surkeaa seksiä, koska ei ole edes oppinut, että voisi itse olla aktiivinen toimija ja kertoa, mitä haluaa ja mitä ei.For many of us, the thought of our mothers as anything besides our mom let alone a sexual being leaves us uncomfortable. So, she made a fuckit list of the things she d like to try - among them slow sex, ejaculation, different types of orgasm, being sexual with other women, BDSM, sex parties and making porn and set out on a journey of discovery. However, apart from the occasional stylistic disagreement (some of the language was a bit twee for me) I thought this was an excellent book, a really good introduction to lots of ideas, and I think I'm going to get my own copy. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Holme's challenges society’s patriarchy by discussing significant issues in historical literature and legislation. A very personal spiritual journey, of discovering yourself, your sexuality, and about the paternalistic (one could say misogynistic) society we live in. Desmistifica tabus, construções sociais, ideias criadas por uma educação por vezes madrasta, por uma indústria pornográfica patriarcal e, até mesmo, pelas páginas dos jornais. I actually keep a handwritten book journal, where I transcribe favourite quotes from the books that I have read. As a woman, I found that there were many times throughout this book where I found myself relating to what Holmes was saying, feeling, experiencing and expressing.Roaming around for 200,000 years and yet it's only in the most recent heart beat where the times are 'slowly' starting to change in how women are perceived and treated. I have a big personal disconnect with the idea that the author has gone from being a sexually dominated person, with a limited understanding of the dynamics of sex, to being an Everest-conquering shagger. When it came to sex she still felt like a novice: she lacked confidence and felt incapable of asking for what she wanted.

Ou não tivéssemos todas nós, a dado momento das nossas vidas, assumido que certo comportamento era normal quando não o era.

I will be recommending it to my female friends - and, despite what the older lady that I was sat next to in Cheltenham seemed to suggest, I think that men could get a lot from this memoir too! Heck, we live in a country where the idea of being naked in a German sauna with other people, or stripping to wash at an Icelandic swimming pool might cause people to cancel entire holiday plans, and that's where the wheels come off for me in terms of relevance to how I personally define my interest in sex. Comparisons with Caitlin Moran come to mind, but where the latter always aims for the punchline, Holmes is much more genuine in both her biography and her humour. There is such a lot here to consider, and to take - as a counsellor who has worked with survivors of sexual abuse, consent has always been something that I am familiar with but here, in a section on BDSM, there is an explanation of the consent wheel, which is just fabulous. I find it hard to sum up how I feel about the book, but I'm inclined to think that there could have been less actual sex and more "about" sex, but that could make it pretty dull to be fair.

As you read through, more and more it feels as though the intended demographic is simply previous versions of herself. Todella hyviä ja arvokkaita juttuja esimerkiksi suostumuksesta (wheel of consent oli käsitteenä jotain, joka meistä jokaisen olisi hyvä ottaa haltuun, vaikka toki tämä ei Holmesin oma käsite ollutkaan), omista rajoista, ein sanomisesta ja vastaanottamisesta, itsetuntemuksesta. I recommend to any woman or person looking for some self love and understanding of how to embark on that journey. She is very fortunate to have looked in all the right places (for her), which makes for an enlightening trip and a happy ending (forgive the pun). I found myself reading out passages of it to my boyfriend, as I found sections that expressed exactly what I had felt in the past, but in a much more coherent, eloquent way!God do we need this book' Caroline Criado Perez 'It's really, really bloody good, a hilarious, moving sexual odyssey' --Beth McColl --This text refers to the paperback edition.
