About this listen

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:

Cool and refreshing

I love Mae’s fresh, hilarious take on the world. We need to learn from more beautiful new voices like hers.

Funny and accessible guide to sexuality for those who don’t understand it

If you have relatives or friends who have just never understood sexuality and gender - this is the book to introduce them to it. Told in a respectful, warm and helpful way - this will get the message across to those who perhaps haven’t been able to grasp the concepts yet.

Brilliant, Mae!!

I listened to this book in one hit and thoroughly enjoyed it. So much that I don’t doubt I will listen to again to glean further nuance. Mae has a voice that is easy to listen to while teasing insights from the material and into my mind. I look forward to her next projects. Highly recommended.

Amazing!

I love Mae. I love her voice. I love her humour and I love her sincerity. This book was exactly what I needed. It’s relatable, it’s honest, it’s funny. I don’t have one bad thing to say. It’s perfect.
