I didn’t start the year thinking I was going to read a book about sex communication, but I’m glad I did. I think Dr Tara does a great job balancing a traditionally taboo subject with non-judgmental openness, academic research, humor, and frankness. There is so much to learn in this one book that sometimes takes a lifetime to figure out. And it is all backed up with personal stories PLUS cited sources and I love that.

I don’t think everyone is going to resonate with every single part of this book, but I do think there is something for almost everyone who reads it with an open hand, ready to learn something new or at least to understand more about yourself and partner from a trusted source. It’s a very refreshing way to read on a topic that has so much misinformation circulating.

There was almost TOO much information, however I do wish there was something in the book that talked about family planning communication. I understand the focus of the book is more on relationships or sexual well-being, but still, this feels like a kind of major part of communication in your sex life to just not even acknowledge.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this book! We know that communication is key to happy relationships, but we can freeze up completely when it comes to talking about sex, and this is a great guide for adults who already have some experience. I hope to see more books like this in mainstream media.
