In this week's episode I’m chatting with psycho-sexologist Chantelle Otten about her debut non-fiction book The Sex Ed You Never Had. This is the book you needed when discovering sex for the first time, hell this is the book you need now. I learnt so many things that I didn’t know about my own body, my partners body, sex, gender identity, menstruation... everything is covered in this book. It’s a reference guide and manual that you will refer to again and again. Chantelle and I spoke about the writing process, the importance of sexual education, the need for inclusivity when discussing sex, fiction books with sexy scenes worth taking your time with, and so much more. Buy Chantelle's book The Sex You Never Had.
