Reseñas de la Crítica

“Anal sex is hard to talk about — even people who enjoy it sometimes feel uncomfortable around the topic. Dr. Goldstein’s affirming, approachable, and deeply informed user-friendly advice is the best thing to happen to anal sex since lube was invented. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.”—Dan Savage, author of Savage Love and host of Savage Lovecast

"No but(t)s about it, Evan Goldstein has written a definitive, personable and sorely needed guide to all-things anal!"—Ian Kerner, PhD LMFT, NY Times best-selling author of She Comes First

"If you Google 'anal sex tips,' you'll see dozens of articles with the same three recommendations: breathe, use lots of lube, and go slowly...but that's it. When you start having anal sex, you'll have about a hundred more questions on preparation, dilation, aftercare, enhancing pleasure, etc. And you won't be able to find those answers anywhere online. Unless you specifically see a gay sexual health doctor, odds are, your healthcare provider won't have answers either. Butt Seriously answers every single damn question you could have about anal play. It is by far the most thorough manual on anal sex, and Dr. Goldstein approaches the topic in the most sex-positive, shame-free manner that encourages everyone to explore the wonders of their backdoor."—Anal aficionado Zachary Zane, author of Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto

Informed by research but written with wit and warmth, this is the book I’ll now be recommending to anyone ready to make anal pleasure a part of their life."—Emily Morse, host of the Sex with Emily podcast, Doctor of Human Sexuality and author of Smart Sex: How to Boost Your Sex IQ and Own Your Pleasure.

Lehmiller, Ph.D., Host of the Sex and Psychology Podcast and author of Tell Me What You Want

Rips you a new one!

Evan Goldstein’s Butt Seriously is a rare kind of sexual health book that manages to be medically grounded, culturally corrective, and genuinely funny at the same time. Rather than approaching anal sex through shame, alarm, or euphemism, Goldstein writes with a tone that is direct, conversational, and refreshingly unembarrassed. The result is a book that feels less like a lecture and more like an informed guide from a clinician who actually wants readers to understand their bodies without fear.

“Keep your peach healthy.”

One of the book’s strongest qualities is its approachability. Goldstein consistently breaks down anatomy, technique, and safety in a way that feels accessible rather than clinical or intimidating. Complex ideas—like sphincter function, hemorrhoids, or dilation—are reframed in plain language and tied to real-life experiences. He emphasizes patience, communication, and comfort over performance, which makes the material feel grounded in lived reality rather than pornographic fantasy or outdated medical caution.

Equally important is the way the book actively dismantles stigma around anal sexuality and homosexuality without turning it into a moral argument. Instead, it normalizes anal pleasure as a form of human sexual expression that exists across genders and orientations. The tone is not defensive or political; it is calm, matter-of-fact, and liberating in its refusal to treat the subject as taboo. This makes the book especially impactful for readers who may have absorbed cultural shame or misinformation.

Humor plays a significant role in making the material digestible. Goldstein does not use jokes to trivialize the subject, but rather to deflate embarrassment and make it easier to talk about something that many people were never taught to discuss openly. The humor creates a sense of ease that supports the educational content rather than distracting from it, allowing readers to stay engaged with topics that might otherwise feel uncomfortable.

Ultimately, Butt Seriously stands out because it treats anal sex as a legitimate area of sexual wellness deserving of the same care, attention, and respect as any other aspect of health. Its combination of medical expertise, sex-positive framing, and human warmth makes it both informative and culturally meaningful. The book succeeds not only in teaching practical techniques and safety principles, but in shifting the emotional tone around a subject long burdened by silence and shame.

Informative guide to butt health

Informative guide to butt health with regard to anal sex.

The only drawbacks were the occasionally startling or distracting sound effects - doorbells for “top tips” and music for health tips. I was listening on my speaker and kept thinking someone was at the door hearing me!

Lots of information from a robotic narrator

I struggled with this listen because the narration was so robotic in nature it was really hard to truly listen to and enjoy the content. The book is helpful and I’ll look into following the author for more tips.

What a life changing book

Thank you Dr. Goldstein for this insightful and life changing book. My life is changed because of it. I feel more empowered now!
