This version of “the talk” emphasizes that sexuality is your birthright, and it develops over a lifetime.
In this beautiful and insightful children’s book, a loving Grandma tells you everything you need to know about sex. Filled with stunning mixed-media illustrations and amazing advice for all-ages, this is one book that is sure to help you get through The Talk!
Patiently forthcoming with lessons your parents redacted, this necessary conversation stresses consent, sex positivity, and the right to be curious about your body. The dialogue focuses on the dynamics of sex, rather than the mechanics, as Grandma reminds readers that sex is not marriage or reproduction, and doesn’t look the same for everyone. Instead, each person’s sexuality is their very own to discover, explore, and share if they choose.
Anastasia Higginbotham’s essays have appeared in Ms., Bitch, Glamour, The Sun, The Women’s Review of Books, and in the anthologies Listen Up, 33 Things Every Girl Should Know About Women’s History, and Yes Means Yes. She is the author and illustrator of a series of feminist children’s books, Ordinary Terrible Things, which deals with common childhood crises and how children themselves find their own way to cope and grow.

The Kama Sutra, the famed ancient Indian guide to lovemaking, has been used to enhance sexual experiences since the fourth century. Now, it has been reinterpreted to created the ultimate sex guide for gay men.
Using clear, empowering text to celebrate the art of gay lovemaking, The Gay Man’s Kama Sutra applies the art and spirit and intention of the original Kama Sutra–the expression of uninhibited pleasure through sex–to the lives of twenty-first century gay men. It shamelessly encourages love and sex, pleasure and sensuality, uninhibited erotic indulgence and play.
Visually stunning, it is accompanied by exquisite, sensual artworks from the original Kama Sutra, classic homo-erotic artworks, and tasteful instructional line drawings.

An anthology exploring the act of passing-as the “right” gender, race, class, sexuality, age, ability, body type, ethnicity, and beyond.
Nobody Passes is a collection of essays that confronts and challenges the very notion of belonging. By examining the perilous intersections of identity, categorization, and community, contributors challenge societal mores and countercultural norms. Nobody Passes explores and critiques the various systems of power seen (or not seen) in the act of “passing.”
In a pass/fail situation, standards for acceptance may vary, but somebody always gets trampled on. This anthology seeks to eliminate the pressure to pass and thereby unearth the delicious and devastating opportunities for transformation that might create.
Are other people constantly intruding on your personal space, using your stuff, disrespecting you, and otherwise violating your boundaries? You can’t control what they do, but you can control how you understand and communicate your own needs and make choices about how you behave and respond to the people around you.
Dive deep into self-work with this interactive guide that can be used alone or as a companion to Dr. Faith’s book Unfuck Your Boundaries.
You’ll learn about how to give and get consent, how to make sure you’re stating your boundaries clearly and being understood, how to decide what is a dealbreaker, how to deal with boundaries in group settings, how to identify abuse, and how to hold yourself accountable to respecting the boundaries of others.
Helpful to anyone trying to figure out healthier intimate relationships, better workplace dynamics, difficult family drama, or just how to be more confident in your own skin.

Jackie –
My absolute favorite book to help children through “the talk.” I love the character of the grandmother – her no-nonsense explanation of what sex means is appropriate for kids as young as 6, body-positive, pleasure-focused, and based in consent. I also love the collage-style art throughout. This book is an incredible resource for anyone with children in their lives!
