"How Do I Sexy? is a fantastic read and a book thats worth keeping on the shelf for reference or revisiting."Bending the Bookshelf How Do I Sexy? isnt just a good book, its a vital and sorely needed one. LGBTQ+ young people are still rarely represented in mainstream sex education. Many of us make it to adulthood with very little knowledge of our bodies, our sexualities, and how to engage intimately with others. This book is like a warm, comforting hug that says hey, youre lovableand sexyexactly as you are! Its both a celebration and an invitation. No matter where you are in your queer, trans or non-binary journey, there will be something in here for you.Coffee & Kink
