Stop Apologizing for Your Sexuality and Take Charge of Your Life
If you've ever wished you had a big sister or older cousin who could show you all the ropes of womanhood, look no further: Gigi Engle has done it all and is here to tell you all about it in All the F*cking Mistakes, a practical handbook for all the slutty and wanna-be-slutty women out there. It is the ultimate sex-talk book, demystifying female sexuality without any of the awkwardness of "the talk." From learning how to take back your confidence in a world full of slut shaming, to discovering and owning your sexual empowerment through masturbation, to demanding the love you really deserve, this book is an ode to the women of the world who deserve to be empowered, sexually and otherwise, without guilt.
Offering bite-sized lessons that incorporate Gigi's own special brand of no-nonsense advice to provide clarity and guidance on all things slutty, sexually normative and non-normative, and everything that falls between the cracks of these brackets, this book is your how-to guide to living your sexy AF, fabulous life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this explicit sex 101 manual and feminist treatise aimed at 20- and 30-something women, sex coach Engle encourages women to have more sex, and to not be afraid to discuss it. "This book is a guide to taking your power back," Engle writes. "It's for women who love sex and want that sex to be a source of strength." In casual, colloquial prose ("I was fifteen years old when I first had P-in-the-V intercourse"), Engle shares tales of her sexual experiences while covering subjects including sexually transmitted illnesses; masturbation techniques; where to buy sex toys and how to clean them; and the art of writing sexts (the trick is not to freak out the recipient). Engle convincingly speaks to the importance of female self empowerment: "Our bodies are relegated, given value, and consumed by men," she writes. "When we take back sex, the patriarchal power we bow down to cannot make us bend." In a world where pornography often takes the place of sex education, Engle writes, it's critical that women retain agency over their bodies and prioritize their needs. This bold, sex-positive book delivers on its promise to instruct and encourage women who want more from their sex lives.
