Book Hero thinking about your next read

OUR BODIES, OURSELVES meets THREE WOMEN--a frank, unvarnished, fully inclusive exploration of sex, sexuality, body image, and health.

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

When Our Bodies, Ourselves was first published in 1970, it was the first book to give women truthful, complete information about their sexual and reproductive health. Today, our understanding of sexuality and health is radically different—yet there's no similar book that synthesises a progressive understanding of gender, ability, identity, and size. Until now.

Every Body is the first radically inclusive compendium of stories, essays, interviews, and art about sex. These deeply personal stories—covering topics as varied as first times, being in an open relationship, learning to accept hairy butts and extra nipples, accidental pregnancies, sex toys, pleasure, fears, traumas, and more—take the stigmatised topics and questions we've all had but have always been afraid to ask, and turn them into words of guidance, confidence, and community.

And in between, there are interviews with and essays by experts—a counsellor at Planned Parenthood, a high school health teacher, a clerk at a sex-positive sex shop, a urologist, a disability activist, and many, many more. The result is a deeply informative and inclusive user's guide to your body, no matter its shape, size, or preferences.

With an exuberant, diverse group of voices and gorgeous illustrations that bring each story to life, Every Body is destined to be a treasured resource and trusted companion for generations to come.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

The book has been praised for its candid, inclusive, and tender exploration of human sexuality. Huffington Post calls it "the sexy book nerd’s Valentine’s treat" that continues to give, while Elle highlights its mix of awkwardness, humour, and emotional honesty. The New York Times describes it as a "thorough and impressively frank picture of human sexuality," and Shape considers it an "ambitious and progressive" addition to sex education shelves. Readers will appreciate its body-positive honesty and its blend of artistry and perspective.
