💜 Gross Anatomy. Mara Altman.

Topical and funny. A book that cracks open the most taboo questions. Honest. Lively. Bold. There's something about armpits (our favourites) and about legs (with hair, of course, how could it be otherwise?). In short, it's great and a must-read!

💜 Hold Me Tight. Sue Johnson.

Couples will probably like this book most, but singles will find it interesting too. It helps bring warmth back into a relationship, resolve issues that have hurt for a long time and fall in love with your partner all over again. Very tender and deep. Like.

💜 Perv: The Sexual Deviant in All of Us. Jesse Bering.

A book that reminds us that we're all abnormal in some way. We're human, we're naked, we're beautiful and terrible, we're strange, our fantasies are strange too, and that's all okay (as long as it doesn't violate other people's boundaries or cause harm). Constructive and sobering!

💜 Come As You Are. Emily Nagoski.

A full-fledged study of female sexuality. There's biology, working through your hang-ups, and breaking down the arousal system piece by piece. Tedious at times, but thorough and clear.

That should be enough to last through the May isolation 🍆

We'd love to know: what are you reading?
