I think this is a GREAT starting point for learning about sex, sexuality, gender etc. especially if you don't/didn't have access to good sex education. I listened to this on audiobook, which Hannah narrated and she did a great job (especially trying to explain diagrams of genitalia)!!

Overall, I really enjoyed it and took something away from it (you can never know everything!). It does stick to surface-level information, but like I said - a great starting point. Would recommend everyone pick it u ...more

Shelves: non-fiction

I would be lying if I said this book surprised me because the moment I heard that Hannah was writing a book, I was pretty certain it was going to be utterly fantastic and important. I was not disappointed. I honestly thought this was brilliant and would highly recommend it to absolutely anyone.

Hannah’s voice really came through in her writing, which I absolutely loved. It was very much Hannah talking and it was honestly so well written. It had a great balance between being formal enough to feel I would be lying if I said this book surprised me because the moment I heard that Hannah was writing a book, I was pretty certain it was going to be utterly fantastic and important. I was not disappointed. I honestly thought this was brilliant and would highly recommend it to absolutely anyone.

Hannah’s voice really came through in her writing, which I absolutely loved. It was very much Hannah talking and it was honestly so well written. It had a great balance between being formal enough to feel as though you were learning something and being educated, whilst also being informal enough to feel as though you were chatting with a friend over a coffee. It was very natural, nothing felt forced in any way and at no point throughout the book did it feel as though you were getting opinions imposed on you. There were also various segments throughout the book, written by other people, such as authors or YouTuber’s, who were maybe were in a better position to talk about a specific topic, which were really interesting!

I won’t go into all of the categories Doing It covers, because I don’t want to spoil it and you should totally go out and buy it but some examples of the specific topics that were covered were things like:
• Healthy Relationships – which had a really great breakdown into what a healthy relationship look like, means and needs. It also does an equally great breakdown into what an unhealthy relationship looks like, the signs of one and advice on what to do if you think or a friend might be in one. This also had a section written by Holly Bourne about traits of abusive relationships which are often romanticised in movies, which was really interesting and there were harry potter references which was obviously great.
• Body and Body Image – in which she gave tips for how to gain body confidence but acknowledges that’s there’s not necessarily a quick and or easy fix which I really appreciated. She also aimed it at people of all genders, rather than just women which I thought was great.
• Contraception, the different types, how they work, what they do, which pros and cons.
• Periods
• Consent, rape, sexual abuse, and the laws surrounding it which had a great insight and section written by a criminal barrister.
• STI’s
• Sexting
• Gender, Sexuality and the meanings behind different terms and labels used for various sexualities.
Essentially and thing you could think of under the category of sex and relationships, it was covered and a lot more candidly than I think you might expect.

One thing that I think made this standout as being so fantastic, was just how inclusive it was. Straight and LGBTQA+ relationships were talked about and mentioned in equal amounts and what I thought was great, is that Hannah was very open about the fact that she’s a cis, white, straight woman and there were therefore people better equipped to talk about LGBTQA+ relationships and she handed the book over to those people. So you had representation, writing and experiences from people who identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, transgender, polyamorous and you got to hear about their experiences from them personally, rather than from someone who hadn’t shared their experience.
Another thing I absolutely loved about this book is that didn’t feel judgemental in anyway. It was very respectful of other people’s experiences. Whether they were in a relationship or not, a virgin or not, straight or not, at no point did it feel as though Hannah was bashing or shaming anyone for their own experience. Instead she was very uplifting and confidence boosting, reminding the reader that whatever their experience or lack of experience, it was totally okay. Regularly telling them to do what feels right for you, rather than what you think is right or what a person or society might tell you is right.

Doing It is the kind of book I wish I had had growing up and the kind of book I really hope people growing up now, will have a copy of. With that being said, I can honestly say I think no matter who you are or how old you are there is no doubt you will take something away from this book, I think it would be pretty much impossible not to.

This is a nice read, quick and informative. This is targeted to a younger audience and you can definitely see that. Most of the stuff Hannah discusses I was already familiar with. I wish she can write a more "adultish" one one day. Anyways, I truly believe sex education is quite precarious and should be explored a lot more because the lack of knowledge and understanding leads to harmful situations. I would highly recommend this to every teen interested in sex (education).

I don’t often read non-fiction books but when I saw that this book was coming out I just knew that I absolutely had to read it. Hannah Witton has succeeded in writing a book about sex which is just as funny and honest as it is informative.

Hannah Witton has succeeded in writing a book about sex which is just as funny and honest as it is informative. There is something for everyone to learn in this book regardless of your age or gender.

I loved that Hannah opens the book by talking a bit about her vision and dream for a future where sex and relationships education will be compulsory on the National Curriculum and certainly delivered in a more effective way. As a secondary school teacher myself I know for a fact that there is definitely a much bigger need for our young people to be fully educated not just about sex but about positive and healthy relationships. I was recently in an assembly where our school link police officer came to deliver a presentation to 14/15 year old pupils about the importance of consent and maybe more importantly what consent means. It was by far one of the best assemblies I have ever attended and I was thrilled to see a rather big section on this being covered in the book.

The content of this book astounded me, it really does seem to include a bit of everything. Hannah starts by talking about healthy vs. non-healthy relationships: what are they? How do I get out of an abusive relationship? Then it was on to the sex: losing your virginity, families talking the birds and the bees, consent, STIs, contraception. There are some excellent details about different types of contraception in here too – super informative! Gender and sexuality is a big chunk of this book and I think this is a section where people of all ages can really learn. If anything I think this is the part of the book that younger people may be more informed on than their parents these days. The list of what this book covers just goes on and on, you’ll have to read it to find out what it’s really all about!

Throughout this book Hannah really has opened herself up to the world and shares some exceptionally personal experiences with us as readers. However something I truly loved about this book is that Hannah does not try to imagine what other people’s experiences may be like, instead she has asked others to write about their own experiences and she has included them in her book. There are some excellent additions to the book by people such as Juno Dawson talking about her experience as someone who is transgender.

Another favourite part of mine in the book were the ‘myth busting’ sections. I think this is so important as it will really inform the readers, especially those younger people who may not know what is fact and what is a myth. I thought it was really nicely done and covered bases for all genders too. I think it’s so important that a book like this is not just aimed at one gender.

I 100% believe that this book will do wonders in informing young people and making real differences to many lives. Let’s just hope it gets into the hands of as many young readers as possible.

Thank you to Netgalley, and the publishers for my copy in exchange for an honest review. ...more

I wish I had read this book when I was younger. I think when I heard it was 14+ I had expected it to be a bit more explicit but more importantly more academic. I felt like it was too quick of a read. I wanted more. Maybe I was looking for it in the wrong place and really just need to get myself some academic books on sex.
It was a decent read. Gotta admit though, the formatting for kindle was sadly pretty terrible.

When I was about to hit puberty my mum gave me a book. As a reader and quite a shy adolescent, this was by far the best thing she could have done. I distinctly remember it being called Hair In Funny Places and it took a humorous approach to telling me about all the joys to come. I learnt most of my sex ed from that book, school and the rumours that start going round when you're in year seven. So, essentially, there were some mixed messages and some completely missed messages and I was confused.

The book provides a lot of accurate information, wrapped in a conversational tone. Sadly, it has a wrong definition of bisexuality that isn't used by the bisexual community, which isn't excusable when writing a book on sex ed in 2017. Furthermore, I kinda cringed every time I read the words "bio-sex male" and "bio-sex female", there are better terms and words out there. I also wasn't a fan of the doodle-like approach to the design and lay-out. It gave the impression of just adding some more page ...more

I've been following Hannah Witton's channel for a few years now. I love her drunk advice video series, and as a curious person in all areas of life; I am naturally drawn to her frank chats about sex and relationships.
When I saw that she was writing a book I was on board straight away and knew that I needed to buy it. Fast forward a few months and I pre-ordered it to read for the Banging Book Club podcast hosted by Hannah Witton herself and her friends Lena and Lucy.

Okay so I'm behind. This was I've been following Hannah Witton's channel for a few years now. I love her drunk advice video series, and as a curious person in all areas of life; I am naturally drawn to her frank chats about sex and relationships.
When I saw that she was writing a book I was on board straight away and knew that I needed to buy it. Fast forward a few months and I pre-ordered it to read for the Banging Book Club podcast hosted by Hannah Witton herself and her friends Lena and Lucy.

Okay so I'm behind. This was April's book and I got distracted for a while - to be fair I did May's book in March and have already read December's book so was I really behind? Yeah, okay so technically I guess I was but I'm not anymore! That's the important thing.

Anyway, back to the point! Hannah Witton has a way of talking about sex and the whole weird and wondrous world surrounding it that doesn't ever really make you feel uncomfortable, if anything she makes it fun and at times hilarious! She's also self aware enough to know that she doesn't know everything. She admits several times that she recognizes her privileges and defers to experts or people with first hand experience to talk on topics where the only knowledge she has on them is second hand and that is what makes her book so special! She doesn't try and seem like she knows everything, even though she does know a lot! Even with these experts, you never really feel like you're reading a big old textbook for school. They still are able to keep with Hannah's way of writing by making it fun and casual (as well as including a little sass in the direction of parliament where needed, I'm looking at you Kate Parker), as if you're talking to a friend you've known for years and are only just discovering what they do for a living.

My favourite lesson Hannah teaches all throughout the book is the importance of communication. As someone who yells "USE YOUR WORDS" at friends and family members constantly because some huge mountain has been made out of something that could have been easily solved if people just spoke to each other, I loved that Hannah repeatedly reminded readers just how bloody important it is in every area of your life, including and especially in sex and relationships of every kind.

I'm not going to lie and say I learnt a whole bunch from this book. I didn't. I'm one of the lucky people who are naturally very curious and I question everything. So I already knew most of what is talked about in the book from my own personal research. But not everyone is like that, and most young people, who need this information the most, don't feel comfortable enough asking these questions on google let alone face to face with an adult or doctor. Having a book like this is so important and I just want to force it into the hands of every young person, hell I'm sure I know a lot of fully grown adults who can learn a thing or two from this book. I want to purchase one for every single teenager/young adult in my family, but unfortunately with a family as big as mine I do not have the funds for that. So I'll have to settle for lending my copy out to everyone and recommending all my aunties to buy a copy for their families.

I really hope that this book finds it's way into schools, not just across Britain but throughout the world. I truly believe this book can do a world of good for young people. If I had read something like this as a teenager it wouldn't have taken me until I was 19 to feel comfortable in my own body and all it's functions, and to talk about all of it with other people.

Hannah Witton, you did bloody well and I hope you are so proud!

In my college courses and personal reading, I’ve found sex education books to be a bit tedious, often written in a textbook style. Doing It! by Hannah Witton is not that book.

This book is well-organized, humorous, and full of the same personality that shines through on Witton’s YouTube channel. Witton mindfully includes disclaimers here and there to let the reader know that this is how things are for her, or ‘this is a generalization,’ but let’s her audience know it’s okay that everyone is diffe In my college courses and personal reading, I’ve found sex education books to be a bit tedious, often written in a textbook style. Doing It! by Hannah Witton is not that book.

This book is well-organized, humorous, and full of the same personality that shines through on Witton’s YouTube channel. Witton mindfully includes disclaimers here and there to let the reader know that this is how things are for her, or ‘this is a generalization,’ but let’s her audience know it’s okay that everyone is different. The icing on top of the cake that is this book is the Harry Potter references included in one chapter (#Potterhead).

Witton’s writing style is very casual and conversational, turning potentially heavy topics
in simple, easy-to-read parts that avoid the monotonous style of many textbooks on the same topics. Each chapter is broken down and organized into sections, and each section is no more than a few pages. This makes it very easy to pick up the book and read any single part, without worrying that you may have skipped over something important that builds up to that particular section.

I would have loved to have this book as part of my own sex education curriculum. Geared to a 14+ crowd and easy to navigate, Witton breaks down ideas that seem (and are) incredibly complex to growing minds. Addressing topics like relationships, singlehood, virginity, consent, porn, LGBTQ+, and many other important topics, Witton covers a vast area in a relatively short span. She comes from a place of privilege in her sex education and personal life, and she acknowledges this by stating that her own experiences shouldn’t be generalized to others, and invites her friends to lend their voices to the book as well, in order to address experiences that Witton has not had, such as being genderfluid, transgender, and polyamorous.

While this book was absolutely fantastic, there are some things that Witton does not address. While she mentions kink shaming, she does not go into detail about kink, which could be it’s own chapter. This is understandable though, due to the age at which the book is geared. Ironically enough, Doing It! is missing a chapter on sex and disabilities. Just a few years after beginning the book, and less than a year after it was published, Hannah underwent emergency surgery for ulcerative colitis that led to her getting an ostomy.

However, Witton directly addresses these exclusions in her series of YouTube videos focusing on her book. Want to know about what she would do differently (talk about disabilities), and why certain topics like puberty and kink were excluded? Check out video 6: “Things I Would Do Differently.”

Overall, I adored this book. I love it’s simplicity, and Witton’s upbeat writing style. I highly recommend this book for sex education courses, in place of dreary texts that make sex into a topic you could sleep through, or scare-tactic classes that instill fear into their audiences.

This isn’t the kind of book I would usually pick up but I was really happy to be sent it to review. I actually read it one day, which isn’t like me, but it was just so easy to read.

I’ve never watched Hannah’s YouTube videos but I could really get a sense of her personality through the book. She says in the beginning she wants it to feel like a conversation with a friend, and that’s exactly what she achieved. It didn’t come across too preachy, it just felt like I was having a chat with a friend, talking about her experiences.

I wasn’t sure what I’d make of this as I’m not really the intended audience. It’s aimed at teens, ones with questions on sex and relationships. I’m a happily married woman with a baby so I think I do know a thing or two about sex and relationships! But I still learnt something from this book, like how sanitary products used to work for our grandparents and how they used to use frogs to test for pregnancy!

As well as Hannah’s stories and advice, there’s comments from friends and experts too. I really appreciated this on the LGBTQ+ chapter especially, as Hannah says she’s not LGBTQ+ herself and it’s better to hear it from those experiencing these things. I also loved the section from Holly Bourne on relationships: she has some brilliant things to say involving Wormtail from Harry Potter!

My 16-year-old sister has started asking me about sex and virginity and also told me some stories about her friends which I found pretty worrying. I’m going to pass this book on to her because I think it’ll be really useful for them all. While I’m glad she feels she can talk to me about things like this, some of it might sound better coming from someone else.

This is informative and manages to stay away from being too preachy. Some of it’s really frank and I found the honesty really refreshing. It’s not sugar coated or prudish and I think a lot of young people will find this book really useful. ...more
