It’s been a week. It’s been a month. It’s been a year. And it’s only April. So I took a break from heavy stuff this week to talk sex in the isolation age with Tessa Lowe of Primrose Path Boutique.

There’s also a super-long introduction about COVID-19 and, if you’re interested at all, where I’m at these days. Additionally:

First, I surprised Tessa with a question about books at the end, and she provided me with a list to include in our introduction. This is that list.

I Love Female Orgasm: Written by sex educators who have been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, Men's Health, Cosmo, and more. Includes a chapter for lesbian, bisexual and queer women.

She Comes First: Written by a clinical sexologist and evangelist of the female orgasm. Everyone who sleeps with women should read this!

F*CKED: Being Sexually Explorative & Self-Confident in a World That's Screwed - written by the comedians behind the popular podcast Guys We F*cked. More for entertainment purposes than sex tips but we certainly need that too right now.

The Ethical Slut: A practical guide to Polyamory and Open Relationships

Also!

We totally understand that isolation isn’t all chocolate and strawberries. Many folks are isolated in less than optimal partnerships. If you are facing abuse in all of this, please consider engaging the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
