Review of 'Sugar in my bowl' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Although some essays were more interesting and valuable to a pro-sex effort than others, almost every story was fascinating. This book has a pretty great array of underlying history, as well. It got me thinking how many fantastic, illuminating, or just plain "huh. that's interesting" stories about our sexuality actually exist in each person's lives. But where else do you have a safe space, or the support to be brave enough to write about your daughter's diddling, the physical and emotional pain of sex after childbirth, or the feeling of almost having sex but not quite getting there? This book fills a needed niche.
