A Curious History of Sex by Kate Lister
5.0
This was so good.
And interesting,
and funny,
and horrifying,
and thought provoking,
and just such a great book.
Highly recommend the audiobook as it's read by the author and between the passion you can hear in her voice throughout the book, the hilarious references to what sex has been referred to throughout history, and just the broad spectrum overview I cannot recommend this enough.
The ending, in particular, was an astute examination on the stigma of sex and how human's on a whole may not yet be willing to talk directly without hesitation about it, but the bias and stereotyping is no longer silently being accepted but instead called out and examined.
Really if you have even the most vague interest in the topic, I'd 100% recommend this book.
