How to Have Feminist Sex

'Funny, kind, generous and smart - I could have done with the wisdom of Flo Perry far sooner' Dolly Alderton

When it comes to our sex lives, few of us are free of niggling fears and body image insecurities. Rather than enjoying and exploring our bodies uninhibited, we worry about our bikini lines, bulging tummies and whether we're doing it 'right'.

Flo broaches everything from faking it to consent, stress to kink, and how losing your virginity isn't so different to eating your first chocolate croissant. Her mission is to get more people talking openly about what they do and don't want from every romantic encounter.

Reviews

Perry is on the charge to show feminism for the sexy movement it is, and offers it in a hilarious, accessible and completely non-judgemental package.

—— The Evening Standard

cheeky, sweet and extremely witty...figures of all shapes and sizes and ages and races (clothed and unclothed) contort and grin and dart across the pages, bringing to vivid life Perry's wisdom about as broad sexual quandaries as libido, trust, faking orgasms, consent, body image, pubic hair, nude photos, porn, ghosting, and virginity....an emotionally intelligent discussion about the climate in which women - but not just women - are navigating relationships

Stroud's warm and honest memoir is the take on parenting we all need. An unflinching look at how to hold on to your own personality when motherhood threatens to submerge it.

—— i Newspaper

Stroud’s clear-eyed look at how wildness and domesticity have entwined in her life is both heartening and inspiring.

—— Olivia Laing

Clover Stroud writes with such startling vivacity and honesty about motherhood, this book has its own heartbeat. It crackles with life - its messiness, darkness, and joy. I loved it.

—— Eve Chase, author Black Rabbit Hall and The Vanishing of Audrey Wilde

Clover’s expertise is writing about family life in a way that feels both new and entirely familiar. How Clover talks about motherhood is very different to the ways you see it talked about – I think we’ve got two polarised narratives in media at the moment and she fuses them together to find this new place. She’s really put into words how I feel as a mother – that it is this intense, almost sickening, love, but it is also an absolute fear that you don’t ever know how you’d live without them. I really recommend My Wild and Sleepless Nights.
