What to expect

'This book had sex with my brain!' SARA PASCOE
'Hilarious. Intimate. Vital.' JAMEELA JAMIL
'I couldn't put the book down!' LAURA BATES

Comedian Sofie Hagen has not had sex in 3,000 days (and counting). And it turns out, she's not the only one . . .

In an attempt to find out why we're not having the sex we want, Sofie asks the questions: can we blame a lacking sex education? Is it all just sexual trauma? Where's the radical sexual liberation we were promised? What are we going to do about this? Should she have slept with that guy in that bush that one time? How do you overcome being a 35-year-old virgin (when it comes to queer sex, that is)? How do the socially awkward and the neurodiverse have sex?

In Will I Ever Have Sex Again?, Sofie Hagen explores the quirks and difficulties of being an 'involuntary celibate' (but one of the feminist, progressive ones). With a blend of memoir and conversations with experts, therapists, sex workers, porn stars, comedians and public figures, this is a humorous and bold undertaking to gain a better understanding of how we can think, talk and feel about sex.

The audiobook includes an exclusive bonus interview with fellow comedian, friend and author, Sara Pascoe.

Made me want to read many other books on the subject! It was very well thought out between moments of narrating her own life and parts when she analyzes and talks about the subject with professionnals. I made my partner listen to excerpts and it helped us talk about different things. Definetely difficult at times, because very dark and you want to hug someone or slap someone else in the narration, and sometimes it goes into a dead end or is confusing, but it opens so many doors that it's worth it. Very good book!

Thought-provoking
You might have come across some concepts before but I think Hagen using a lot of anecdotes from her own life really made their writing inviting and accessible.
I think the interviews with other people knowledgeable in related areas gave nice jumping off points to follow up on tips that interest the reader.
The concept of play of very interesting, I've been seeing it come up in a few other places online and it feels like this is the beginning of this concept being talked about more widely.

I really really enjoyed the narration, it felt like Hagen was talking to me rather than reading, very natural and comfortable.

The interview with Pascoe gives the ending a light ending, nice to have a laugh at the end.
