Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
Best suited for readers interested in candid memoirs about sexuality and identity, fans of experimental art and culture, and those seeking honest and unconventional perspectives on love and self-expression.
A one-of-a-kind exploration of abasement, depravity, joy, and cringe, Anything That Moves is Xiu Xiu singer-songwriter Jamie Stewart’s memoir-in-hookups. It is funny, erotic, anti-erotic, honest, brave, icky, and sad, and demonstrates how love and forgiveness can percolate around the edges of even the most traumatic relationships.
From the leader/composer for the beloved cult band Xiu Xiu: a memoir told in 33 outrageous sexual experiences—some mortifying, some tender, some unexpectedly riotous.

Description
From being caught having their first orgasm by their mum's best friend to being stalked and propositioned by a fundamentalist pastor; from soliciting spanking dates over the Internet to scoring a coveted invitation to a threesome with some elf fetishist neighbours, art rock darling (Xiu Xiu) Jamie Stewart's journey of fleshy self-discovery and queer awakening makes for an extraordinary, cringy, unputdownable epic in miniature, burning always with radical and often shocking self-criticism.
A one-of-a-kind exploration of abasement, depravity, joy, and embarrassment (and even joy in embarrassment), Anything That Moves is a series of comic, tragic X-rays of sex. It is funny, erotic, anti-erotic, honest, brave, icky, and hauntingly sad by turns. It demonstrates too how love and forgiveness can percolate around the edges of even the most traumatic relationships.
Stewart's band Xiu Xiu has been called 'self-flagellating', 'brutal', 'shocking', and 'perverse', but also 'genius', 'brilliant', 'unique', 'imaginative', and 'luminous'. Readers can expect nothing less from Anything That Moves.
