#SexPositive2021

I planned to start this on the 15th, but then found out there was a new, updated version. I originally decided to wait until I got paid so I could get the 2021 version, but I watched all of her TED talks (she‘s done about 4 of them) and I love her so much. So I‘m going to get started here, and then get the audiobook of the updated version in about 2 weeks when I get paid.

This was a fun little read. It‘s strange, hilarious, and cringeworthy at different times. This is more on the scientific level, but if you just need to find a way to be comfortable talking about sex and sexuality, this book will absolutely do that. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics All the variations on the word coitus made me think of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory, and (I think rather unintentionally) she broaches the topic of the effects of negative messaging about sex from religious organisations. #MaryRoach #Bonk #SexPositive2021 3y

I‘m not convinced this is a real word.

julesG Does it come with a definition? 3y
julesG Also, have to read this book. 3y
GingerAntics @julesG not really. It‘s sort of implied again. Just ones ability to orgasm, especially. Or maybe the human ability to? 3y
GingerAntics @julesG my only complaint thus far is that is perpetuates the myth that Victorian doctors‘ treatment of “pelvic massage‘ was meant to be sexual and that‘s why vibrators were invented. That got debunked in 3y

Hooked_on_books I suspect this was not a successful incontinence cure 🤔 3y
GingerAntics @Hooked_on_books I would imagine not. I mean, I‘m sure the blood clotting and the swelling helped temporarily, but that couldn‘t have been comfortable or feel good at all. I can‘t imagine he found this to be worth it after everything was healed up. No word on if they got it reattached or not. 3y

Graywacke Is that the dedication? Great quote. 3y
GingerAntics @Graywacke no, this is actually toward the end of the intro (which she cheekily refers to as “Foreplay”). The dedication is “For Woody.” 3y
Graywacke @GingerAntics that‘s a good one too! 3y

I think we all knew this was coming eventually. I actually started this book at some point several years ago now (2014 or 2015ish I think). I got side tracked by school and life, but this is totally happening now.

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie how do we get him into the evening sports? All those early mornings are not good for your health. 3y

Taking this audiobook for a spin next. This covers so many bases (race, gender, human sexuality) that are so very important. I‘ve heard so many wonderful things.

I loved every second of this book. This book was an absolute joy. I finished it in a day. It was so funny in places I was in tears. It was equally heartbreaking in others. I fully agree with the conclusion when it says we need to teach children about sex and not just about when a sperm gets it‘s hands on an egg.

GingerAntics As a historian, I am endlessly curious about how one gets into this particular field. Is there a university out there which can boast the best sex history department in the country? The world?

TrishB There probably is such a university 😁 there‘s a league table in everything else! 3y
GingerAntics @TrishB right?! Part of me wants to go study there. I just have no idea how you explain that to people who ask. 😂🤣😂 Everyone is impressed when I rattle off “exactly what it is I study,” but I don‘t think they‘d be too impressed with “the history of sex.” 🤣😂🤣 3y

TrishB When you do I want to be there! 3y
Hooked_on_books This cover! 😂 3y
GingerAntics @TrishB can you imagine telling my wonderful aunt/god mother I‘m studying sex history?! 😂🤣😂 3y
GingerAntics @Hooked_on_books isn‘t it great? She looks completely board. 🤣😂🤣💙💙💙 (edited) 3y
julesG Have to read this. 3y
GingerAntics @julesG this one was SO good. Bonk isn‘t bad, but it‘s not as good as this one. 3y
