Absolutely brilliant book!
This book should be part of sex education in every High School possibly around the globe but especially the western world.
People with penises are more fertile than people with vaginas. They should use condoms or vasectomies during all penetrative sexual encounters unless they are trying (as a couple) to conceive a baby. This would lower the abortion rate. This would lower the spread of STIs. People with penises can, in fact, find brands of condoms that make little or no difference to their personal experience of pleasure.
I kept laughing as I read this book because it packs a brutal punch. Why haven’t people with penises taken as much responsibility for contraception and STI protection as people with vaginas? Why aren’t they boasting about the amazing brands of condoms that offer them protection from both unwanted pregnancy and STIs, and with barely an impact on pleasure? Why aren’t they boasting about their vasectomies and how they recovered within a few days, were back at work and now able to have sex without concern that they might conceive?
People with vaginas have paid a high price using hormonal contraceptives that often do decrease their pleasure and wreak havoc on their bodies and hormones. People with penises need to step up. Everyone wants to see the abortion rate decrease and the most effective way to do that is to educate people with penises how to ejaculate responsibly! It’s actually a no brainer! People with penises actually should be held accountable as much as people with vaginas have been in the past. Gabrielle argues they should be even more accountable because they are statistically, on average, 50 times more fertile.
If I had kids with penises I would teach them this. I will be encouraging family and friends to read it. I think it should be taught in high schools.
I loved this book!
