Mostly great information undermined by hyper heteronormativity and gender essentialism.

Revisado: 09-02-24

The author is a controversial figure and rightly so. Her business practices, which she used to spread OneTaste seem unethical and there’s probably a reason she’s indicted.

I didn’t love that she talks about OM like it is a solver of all problems; it is not. While a wonderful practice, it is part of a whole tapestry of a life. The author missed the point in the book and her work that OM is part of a greater practice of sacred sexuality.

Her generalizations about men and women are highly sexist, and some of the advice feels like it could come from a southern Baptist minister for virgins on their wedding night. She broadly assumes in ways that are just incorrect by any measure. And while proclaiming a “girl boss” attitude is not so subtly critical of the feminist movement.

While there is great information, she does a disservice to the practice of OM, though the information about oral is helpful. A lot of this is also not consent-based and encourages men to do things that feel rapey.

LGBTQIA community—whatever she says, there’s nothing in this book for you, though there are in independent OM practitioners.

Overall, I’m glad I read it, but if OM interests you, don’t let this be your last step.

Great research and thought but a little less accessible than I expected. Great insights but some went over my head

It is not my feminism, but an interesting take that gave me a lot to think about.

Get ready to rage

Excellent work. I especially appreciated the tie in to modern day and the author’s own experience at the end.
But be ready to want to scream at how women were and continue to be treated.

Timely and important—an amazing read

This is a timely story, as women’s healthcare is restricted, of the history and its impact on the current day.

Excellent book! The protagonist is funny, smart, and interesting and though it has the predictable elements, overall, nothing is as it seems!

Amazing life and amazing book

Revisado: 01-14-24

Highly recommend! A great story of a woman who truly blazed an incredible trail. A well-written story of an incredible life and determination, as well as of American history as witness by Agent Monroe.
