Just as good as its (mostly identical) cousin. Honestly for me I would have preferred a combined volume that covers both without redundancy, but I definitely get what the authors intentions were by splitting them up.
I really can't rate this book very highly, on the simple basis that about 8 of its 126 pages were in fact directly about "unfucking" one's practice of cunnilingus.
As a book about sex and sexual psychology and the history of sexuality in general, it was fine. And I give it credit for being inclusive of intersex and transgender experiences. But as a guide to cunnilingus...well, it doesn't have much to offer at all.
But the author seems to imply at one point that she doesn't actually have much if any experience giving cunnilingus herself. So I came away with the odd sense that I just read a 126 page book about cunnilingus by someone who doesn't really know much about cunnilingus on other than an academic level, and so consequently, doesn't really have much of anything to say or much of any experience to share.
I feel like I could have learned more from chatting with any random person at the local lesbian event where I bought this book.
It covered everything that comes with being sexual; consent, headspace, protection. I hoped for a bigger proportion of the book focusing on techniques rather than those things.
I did enjoy the random facts and weird history knowledge on the subject.
A lot of it is the same as Unfuck Your Blow Jobs, and while I do understand why, it is a little annoying that there isn't a combined book in stead of me having to scan all the pages for what differs between the two.
i agree with the other reviews - it’s more of a history and peripheral discussion, with only 20% of the book actually being about how to give head (which the author admits she’s never done. so!)
