Books on Relationships and Sex
Book recommendations are one of the most common questions I get asked when it comes to exploring sexuality. When you don’t know where to start, the choices out there are overwhelming and if you are anything like me you don’t want to waste time (or money) reading a shite book…right! ha! Well, lucky for you I am an absolute book junkie so I done the hard work of reading the shite books for you! Below are a list of some of my favourite books to inspire you to discover and explore sexuality within Relationships. From science to tantra, from sex positive pleasure to ancient practices, monogamy to poly - there is something for everyone.

Sex At Dawn
Author | Christopher Ryan
A lot of how we relate to each other — in bed and out — is all about human nature. This book delves deep into the science behind our interactions, using spins on conventional wisdom to show us how to be better at loving — and better lovers while we're at it.
The 5 Love languages
Author | Gary Chapman
Someone told me once, communication is only 7% verbal. Great sex is about Great communication, it is about giving and receiving, this constant flow of language that is not just verbal but fully sensate. If you do not know your love language, or your partners love language I suggest you find out pronto.

Attached
Author | Amir Levine and Rachel Heller
Ever wonder why you seem to fall in love so easily? or why they take days to reply to a text? Or why someone who was showing all the signs of being interested suddenly disappears? Or why you can’t stand it when someone starts getting needy?
Well, this book has all the answers. A simple but science based approach to understand why we love, how we love and how we can keep love.
I honestly think everyone in the world should read this book.
Love, Sex and Awakening
Author | Margot Anand
Margot Anand is one of the mothers of Neo-Tantra that brought ancient practices to the west to birth what essentially became conscious sexuality. She is a spiritual ecstasy virtuoso that has led a life of sexual ecstasy and spiritual bliss. This book recounts her fascinating adventures and provides techniques and exercises to help you connect to the spiritual potential of sex and cultivate a deeper, more fulfilling love life.
She Comes First
Author | Ian Kerner
The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman.
I appreciate anyone that can couple an obsessive desire to inform with humour. Consider this an essential guidebook for how to perform Oral sex. It is really full of indispensable philosophy and practices that can be an aid to a healthier more fulfilling love life.
My advice, read the book and take penetrative sex off the table for 2 weeks and get ready to explore in many other ways.
The Ethical Slut
Author | Janet W. Hardy and Dossie Easton
One of the most valuable things I learned from exploring open sexual lifestyles is that our programming about love, intimacy, and sex can be rewritten. The Ethical Slut is a guide to all things poly and everything it encompasses: emotional honesty, mutually agreed upon boundaries, open communication, and more. Even if you don't want to open things up, the lessons of this book can be a good foundation for growth in your partnership.
Happy reading,
