The first radically inclusive compendium of stories, essays, interviews, and art about sex. These deeply personal stories take the stigmatized topics and questions we've all had but have always been afraid to ask, and turn them into words of guidance, confidence, and community.

Summary
Experience a radically inclusive and informative collection of stories, essays, interviews, and art about sex, relationships, and body confidence.
Have you ever had a question about sex—whether out of curiosity, desire, or the sneaking suspicion you’re, somehow, different? Every Body will help you feel less alone. It’s a huge collection of anonymous stories, essays, artwork, and expert tell-alls on myriad subjects, all rolled into one. Really, it’s the conversations most of us are too scared to start.
Thanks to talented duo Julia Rothman and Shaina Feinberg, we don’t have to. The stories, essays, and interviews they’ve compiled touch on a wide array of topics, including first times, open relationships, body acceptance, accidental pregnancies, sex toys, pleasure, fear and trauma, sexual discovery, and more.
Framed by dozens of artists’ illustrations, deeply personal interviews, and expert essays that address stigmas and clichés, this book is an informative, welcoming, and inclusive user’s guide to your body, no matter its shape, size, or preferences.
A dynamic group of voices and styles makes Every Body an essential resource and helpful companion as you explore your own body (and more!).
