Books for people who are looking to start their sexual life.

Unread post by Rave »

Hello! Good to be back.

I have a question and need recommendations from the staff.

As the title says, books for people who are looking to start their sexual life, preferably pdf.

I found:

Little Book Of Sex by Anne Hooper.

The Little Book Of Sex Tips by Lexie Sutton

The Little Book Of Kama Sutra by Sadie Gayman

Those are too heretonormative for my taste, I want something that includes every sexuality.

Thank you!!! :D :D :D

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but my book s.e.x.: the all you need to know sexuality guide to get you through your teens and 20s is usually the bestselling book in its category, is available in its 2nd edition, and is both queer-and GNC written and highly inclusive in a bunch of ways. It is available in print and as a digital book.

Hi Heather!

Thanks for the recommendation! Much appreciated!

I have a few questions.

Can I find it as an audiobook?

Is the 2nd edition much different from the 1st one?

I'm already reading it on my phone

It's a reference book, so no, not available as audio (publishers don't usually publish reference books as audio, both due to their length, and because you're meant to skip around with them).

The second edition is considerable different, but also much more recent. The first edition was published almost 20 years ago now, so is very out of date with some things. I'd not advice using that one.
