Written by sex educator and body-positivity advocate Ruby Rare, Sex Ed is the practical and fun guide to sex that you've always wanted - but never known how to ask for.

This is the information you should have been taught at school: a no-holds-barred roadmap that covers everything from how the brain is the most important sex organ and how to communicate what you want to yourself and a partner, all the way down to the messy stuff - solo sex, orgasms, touching, kissing, blow jobs, cunnilingus, anal play, lube, toys, kegels. After all, sex education shouldn't start and end with putting a condom on a banana.

Chapters include: Sex and Language, Your Anatomy, Everyone Looks Different, Handjobs, Lube, Kegels, Safe Sex, Consent At Every Stage, Sex After Trauma.

A series of video essays might have been better.

I love Ruby Rare and I've been to many of her workshops as well as constantly following her instagram page. And the book itself is very informative and interesting.

But I took ages to read it all with moments I had to push myself to go through because it's not engaging at all.

And I know she is personally super engaging. But maybe not in a writing form? She could've made a series of 30 video essays and I would've probably binge-watched them all overnight.

But it seems like publishing a book is a must for everyone nowadays so...

Sad. Lost opportunity in my opinion.
