It’s hard to overstate how much we put pressure on early sexual encounters—and how little real advice is out there. How do I deal when I keep running into my one-night stand? How can I tell if I’m too drunk to have sex? How do I say stop when I’m not really into it? Why do I keep getting all these UTIs? And most of all: Why is so much of sex ed focused on what could go wrong instead of what actually feels good? In this unflinchingly honest guide to hookups and relationships in the twenty-first century, Ali Drucker answers these questions and more.

The intention of this book is to open up a space for reflection and awareness of some aspects of the vast topic of female psychology, romantic relationships, and regaining your personal power by opening your heart to yourself. The central focus is the subconscious dynamics of female spirituality and the basic male and female archetypes, along with their strengths, fears, and possibilities. This understanding is valuable in order for every partner to become a complete personality who can accept their strengths, as well as their shadow aspects—those that we hide from ourselves.

Com seu estilo franco e certeiro, Ruth Manus mostra que expandir a conversa sobre o machismo, convidando para o papo as pessoas que ainda não têm familiaridade com o assunto, é mais do que necessário: é urgente. Deixando claro que um audiolivro contra o machismo não é um audiolivro contra os homens, que não são só os homens que têm atitudes machistas e que reconhecer o próprio machismo—e lutar contra ele—é um ato de coragem, Ruth nos guia no caminho da conscientização e nos convida a mudar comportamentos, discursos e, em última instância, o próprio mundo.

Muchas personas no llegan a vivir su sexualidad en congruencia con su identidad por haber sufrido traumas sexuales, traumas de relación y traumas de amor.

Novelist Porochista Khakpour's family moved to Los Angeles after fleeing the Iranian Revolution, giving up their successes only to be greeted by an alienating culture. Growing up as an immigrant in America means that one has to make one's way through a confusing tangle of conflicting cultures and expectations.
