Savor Book Club
We are currently gathering in monthly book clubs during 2021, focusing on books related to sexuality and sex-positivity.
Books are neutral mediums that can make discussion about sensitive topics easier, such as sexuality.
We have discussed: Come As You Are (by Emily Nagoski in Jan 2021), Shameless (by Nadia Bolz-Weber in Feb 2021), Becoming Cliterate (by Laurie Mintz in March 2021), Not Always in the Mood (by Sarah Hunter Murray, April 2021).
Upcoming books planned for our book club are as follows:
- Odes by Sharon Olds, May 2021
- Big Big Love by Hanna Blank, June 2021
- Polysecure by Jessica Fern, July 2021
- Stolen Women by Dr. Gail Elizabeth Wyatt, August 2021
- Existential Kink by Carolyn Elliott, September 2021
- Enjoy Sex by Meg-John Barker and Justin Hancock, October 2021
- The Art of Receiving and Giving by Betty Martin, November 2021
- Sexual Fluidity by Lisa Diamond, December 2021
Additional books under consideration are: Tell Me What you Want by Justin LeMiller, Ethical Porn for Dicks by David Ley, Consent: The New Rules of Sex Education by Jennifer Lang, and Beyond the Gender Binary by Alok Vaid-Menon.
The size of our book club is limited to 10 participants. To register, please email me at ignitewellbeing.naperville@gmail.com.
If you have a request for a book club focused on a specific book or topic related to sexual well-being, please email me. For these books as well as others that I recommend, please see https://bookshop.org/shop/Ignitewell-being
