Drawn to Sex: The Basics

I backed the Kickstarter for the second Drawn to Sex volume, but hadn't read the first so fixing that now! Erika Moen's Oh Joy Sex Toy is an educational webcomic staple on sex ed, sexuality, and sex toy reviews, and the Drawn to Sex volumes are collections of the educational ones in physical (or eBook) form. This first volume is basics, divided into four parts: what are the fundamentals (consent, sex positivity, etc.), how to do it safely (contraceptives), how to do it yourself (because you should know how your bits work before inviting others to play!), and how to do it with others. Illustrations are simple and fun, and all around inclusive because everyone deserves to have good sex, regardless of size, shape, gender, etc.!

It's very show more sincere (though a bit cheeky with puns at times), and I would absolutely hand this off to future spawnlets so they're armed with knowledge before getting it on. Really approachable way for basic sex ed. show less

I've read all the Oh Joy Sex Toy books in print, so I've moved on to this spin-off series with a focus on sex education.

Most of the strips reprinted here from the Oh Joy Sex Toy website were also in the Oh Joy Sex Toy books I just read, so that was a little disappointing. Buy, hey, they're still fun, sexy, and informative the second time around.

Written childishly and weird language that Ive seen in mediocre erotica. I’m not sure the audience it’s written for, since it reads like a beginners sex book but with certain language I would not recommend my teen to read it.
