Do Childfree People Have Better Sex?

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A brief book by a well-known activist on the growing childfree movement, its many positive benefits and the conventional resistance with adopting this lifestyle.

Verena Brunschweiger is no stranger to controversy. In her latest book, Do Childfree People Have Better Sex?, our provocateur tackles this increasingly popular topic and its many ramifications head on.

After conveying her own personal story, Brunschweiger supports her views with data, discussing the implications of having children or not: the ecological and environmental consequences, feminism, politics, and philosophical disputation.

Issues including over-population and the environment, animal welfare, abortion and reproductive rights, sex and happiness, women's health, politics, and anti-natalism are explored.

Brunschweiger posits that women have the right to be happy and, if they choose, feel comfortable rejecting the societal conventional pressure of having children. The author suggests that women and their partners will have more freedom and enjoyment if they are childfree.

The author doesn't want humanity to go extinct as some may suggest; rather, she wants the reader and its inhabitants to have an enjoyable and sustainable future.
