The Sex Itself. How to Discuss, Receive, and Deliver Pleasure

When it comes to sex, everyone sometimes feels awkward: we do not want to seem uninformed, insecure, we are afraid that we will not be accepted, understood, or that it will simply be "not so great." Even discussing the ins... and outs with partners often requires courage. But why are we so shy about talking about sex? Where do sexual fantasies come from, how do they help us, and can we divide them into "normal" and "strange"? What do all these unfamiliar words mean - "rubbing," "toying," "compersion," and what practices stand behind them? How to bring pleasure to oneself and to another person? And how to understand what we ourselves want? In her book, sex educator and writer Sasha Kazantseva answers these and dozens of other questions in detail. "The Sex Itself" is a gentle, inclusive, and maximally accessible guide to sex, sexuality, and everything related to them.
