From a bold new feminist voice, a book that will change the way you think about your sex life.

Fifty years after the sexual revolution, we are told that we live in a time of unprecedented sexual freedom; that if anything, we are too free now. But beneath the veneer of glossy hedonism, millennial journalist Rachel Hills argues that we are controlled by a new brand of sexual convention: one which influences all of us—woman or man, straight or gay, liberal or conservative. At the root of this silent code lies the Sex Myth—the defining significance we invest in sexuality that once meant we were dirty if we did have sex, and now means we are defective if we don’t do it enough.

Equal parts social commentary, pop culture, and powerful personal anecdotes from people across the English-speaking world, The Sex Myth exposes the invisible norms and unspoken assumptions that shape the way we think about sex today.


Review :
This book will make you feel good about your sex life. No matter what "your sex life" looks like.
Buy this book for yourself, for your friends, for your Tinder dates, and for anyone you know working behind the scenes at your favorite women's magazine – because God knows we need a change in the way we talk about sex. Basically, I came away from it with two major lessons: 1) everyone is having way less sex and way less "adventurous" sex than you think; and 2) your sex life just doesn't have to *matter* so much in thinking about "what kind of a person" you are. It's just one aspect of your multifaceted personality, but it's been heavily overemphasized by said magazines, movie scripts, hook-up apps, etc...and it's time to expose that kind of manipulation and stop feeling bad about ourselves for 'not doing our twenties right' or 'not being cool enough' if life isn't a series of walks of shame/strides of pride. I found another very valid point to be that sex doesn't have to be the constant defining factor of a relationship, either – The Sex Myth isn't just a...
Get it, now.

This book is my favorite kind of book, intellectually challenging while also attention grabbing and accessible. Basically, even if you don't know you're smart now, you will walk away feeling smart as hell. Definitely something to discuss at dinner parties, and even bars.

My favorite thing about this book is the author's use of personal stories and experiences, both her own and those she interviewed for this work. Their stories make you feel more human, increasingly "normal" and connected to the world, and intrigued by others all at once.

I would highly recommend this book for young adults and full grown adults alike. Anyone interested in sex, thinking about having sex, concerned about their sex life, studying sex, or just plain sexual ... this book is for you.

A thorough but accessible and enjoyable read about sex, identity, and society.
Not only do I really appreciate a book that avoids clichés and stereotypes, but I love that this works both for the layperson and for the academic. There were moments where I could key into my favorite theorists' ideas and clearly see where Rachel was connecting them, and other moments where I could read aloud passages to my mom (yes, seriously) and have a great conversation based off of that. Not that my mom isn't brilliant, but she's a little less obsessed with Foucault than I am.

I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but what I got was a compassionate, honest look at how we understand ourselves as sexual (or not sexual) beings. Rather than depending on old assumptions, this book breaks down the barriers and lets us explore comfortably in a sort of perpetual grey area. It's compelling and intelligent while still feeling like the sort of thing you could read at the beach. Or on your lunch break as I did regularly, which prompted some really great...
