Publisher's summary

Why do we find sexuality so, well... scary?

Comedian and co-creator of the hit show Feel Good, Mae Martin, investigates in this hilarious and intelligent guide to 21st century sexuality. By narrating their own, often humiliating, adventures in sex, dating and identity, Mae demystifies everything from weird crushes and coming out, to the pros and cons of labels and the joys of sexual fluidity.

Mae's mission is to ensure that in a world that's full of things to worry about, who we choose to kiss should not be one of them. And when it comes to sexuality, Mae asks:

A must-read for all young people and their parents

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook from start to finish. (Disclaimer: I am a fan of Mae Martin's comedic style.) It is authentic and genuinely funny, yet at the same time it is trauma-informed. She's reached a stage where she is not throwing raw trauma narratives out. She's processed it and you can feel the care for an audience that is largely young people growing up in toxically heteronormative societies. If something like this had been around when I was younger, I might not have had to wait till my 40s to come out.

I loved it!!!

I love Mae’s work. Since I found out about her I’m obsessed with everything she creates! She’s really funny and smart. She has a much needed way to talk about important issues with comedy, making us feel good and hopeful, instead of frustrated, angry and hopeless.

Recommend this book 10/10!

Love it!!

Absolutely wonderfully beautiful, funny and so, so interesting. Mae Martin is already my favorite comedian, and their view on sexuality, genders and acceptance is, in my opinion, the best I've ever heard, and I completely agree with them. The performance is perfect, and I recomend this book for EVERYONE!
