Synopsis

An acclaimed sex therapist’s practical, playful, and inclusive guide that teaches you how to discover your deepest sexual desires, communicate your wants and needs, define your boundaries, and have the sex you want.While popular culture is saturated with sex, the gap between informed sex education and satisfying sex is vast, and it often leaves LGBTQQ+ individuals out of the conversation entirely. Hot and Unbothered bridges that chasm, giving you explicit permission to talk about, think about, and achieve the pleasure you desire without shame or secrecy, no matter your sexual identity or gender.In Hot and Unbothered, Yana Tallon-Hicks provides a roadmap to empower yourself and improve your relationships, sharing the unique programs she developed for her therapy clients and workshops. She begins by shattering myths about “good sex,” which is seamless, satisfying—and nearly non-existent. Once you let go of unreachable ideals, you can start to truly identify your own unique desires and fears and build the safest space to fulfill your most pleasurable sexual experiences. Yana guides you to discover your own hang-ups and overcome barriers such as shame, secrecy, misinformation, low self-esteem, lack-of-motivation, and unhealthy relationship patterns.When the path to pleasure is cleared the fun begins! Yana helps you decide who you really are as a sexual being and how to set sexual goals. What do you want? What do you like? What have you yet to discover? And how do you want to explore? In answering these questions, you can establish and set your limits, clarify your needs, and communicate your desires to your current partner. Yana reminds you that whether your partner is a lifelong companion or a casual hook-up, your pleasure, comfort, and identity should always be supported.Yana unpacks common stumbling blocks, troubleshoots tricky conversations, and addresses potential backslides to ensure long-lasting success. Complete with worksheets and exercises, Hot and Unbothered will help you understand, pursue, and fulfill your sexual desires now, and for the rest of your life.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Goodreads review by Maya on March 01, 2023

Essential reading in my opinion. Yana taught a workshop at my college and it was invaluable. Our education system fails kids on sex ed but this book and Yana’s work is a great step in countering that collective societal failure. Only 4 instead of 5 stars because it could be 50-100 pages shorter (edi......more

Goodreads review by Jess on July 09, 2023

This book is SUCH a gift! Grateful that Yana put in the work, while pregnant and parenting in the pandemic, to share this excellent guide with the world. Growing up, Dan Savage was my #1 sex educator. As a result, I was a 17-year old virgin well-versed in gay male fetish community norms but ill-equi......more
