I have really enjoyed Dan Savage's writing and advice for a lot of years， whether it be his column or his podcast。 I thought this was a good book， I liked the layout， but overall didn't love the book。 I know he's a sex advice writer， and this book was very full of sex， and while it mentioned other genders and orientations， it was very cis-gender， allonormative， which I was a bit disappointed by。Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC！ I have really enjoyed Dan Savage's writing and advice for a lot of years， whether it be his column or his podcast。 I thought this was a good book， I liked the layout， but overall didn't love the book。 I know he's a sex advice writer， and this book was very full of sex， and while it mentioned other genders and orientations， it was very cis-gender， allonormative， which I was a bit disappointed by。Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC！ 。。。more

Full disclosure::1） I liked this book2） I received it for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review3） I am a fan of Dan Savage， and a subscriber to the Savage Lovecast。 So， with all that out of the way， I'm not sure who this book is for。。 The blurb say this is for "anyone who's had， is having， or hopes to have sex"。 I liked it， but as an existing fan， there is not much new here。 That doesn't mean it's boring。 it's well organised， quirkily illustrated and generally interesting。 it serv Full disclosure::1） I liked this book2） I received it for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review3） I am a fan of Dan Savage， and a subscriber to the Savage Lovecast。 So， with all that out of the way， I'm not sure who this book is for。。 The blurb say this is for "anyone who's had， is having， or hopes to have sex"。 I liked it， but as an existing fan， there is not much new here。 That doesn't mean it's boring。 it's well organised， quirkily illustrated and generally interesting。 it serves as a sort of manifesto， or greatest hits。。 The A-Z format stands as a scaffolding， but does not constrain the writing。 It's just， as Dan says in the book， when people write to him， if they are longtime readers they almost always know what he is going to say， and I;m a longtime listener。。 The blurb describe this as an ideal stocking stuffer。 I mean， maybe？ Again， for whom？ But with the "for whom" I'm being pedantic。 Pick this up， flip through it。 you might learn something new， have what you already know reinforced or just walk away with a knowing smile on your face。 。。。more

A to Z is as good a framework as any to deliver a comprehensive， practical， and thoughtful guide to relationships and sexuality。 Reading this and truly meditating on the concepts will leave you a better， more fully self-aware person。 Want to cement your status as an absolute legend in the pantheon of Cool Adults You Can Talk To？ Buy this for a young adult in your life and possibly save them years of fumbling and learning things the hard way。 Even as a middle-aged person who thought she'd pretty A to Z is as good a framework as any to deliver a comprehensive， practical， and thoughtful guide to relationships and sexuality。 Reading this and truly meditating on the concepts will leave you a better， more fully self-aware person。 Want to cement your status as an absolute legend in the pantheon of Cool Adults You Can Talk To？ Buy this for a young adult in your life and possibly save them years of fumbling and learning things the hard way。 Even as a middle-aged person who thought she'd pretty much heard it all， there were a couple of new ideas in here for me。 And even the ideas that weren't new were still good to hear again， and the journey was pleasant。 I laughed aloud more than a few times。 Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review！ 。。。more

Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for the advance review copy。I wish that books like this had existed when I was a teenager。 Savage explains the interpersonal aspects of sexual relationships， as opposed to merely the mechanics of sex， and he does so with a degree of insight unusual in this sort of book。 The information may seem old hat to someone as experienced in sex and relationships as I am today， but it could have saved me and others a good deal of hurt if we had had it before becomin Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for the advance review copy。I wish that books like this had existed when I was a teenager。 Savage explains the interpersonal aspects of sexual relationships， as opposed to merely the mechanics of sex， and he does so with a degree of insight unusual in this sort of book。 The information may seem old hat to someone as experienced in sex and relationships as I am today， but it could have saved me and others a good deal of hurt if we had had it before becoming sexually active。 In particular， the book includes two lines that everyone should print onto expensive paper and frame: “The One is a myth” and “You’re entitled to nothing。” 。。。more
