In Rebel Love, podcasting phenom and sex therapist Dr. Chris Donaghue reveals how traditional love and dating rules are outdated and toxic, and he refuses to pathologise those whose sexuality doesn't fit in a neat little box. Dr. Chris encourages readers to broaden their sexual horizons, stop participating in patriarchal stereotypes, and move their needs, values, and fantasies beyond their minds and into the bedroom.

Written in a straightforward, accessible tone, Rebel Love offers readers Dr. Chris's prescriptive and experiential insight about sex and dating topics as well as some of his most frequently asked questions on his podcast, which will all be personally relevant to readers. He'll also share his clinical perspectives, case studies, and step-by-step advice about how to have a hotter, healthier, happier, and overall better, sex life.
