emotional funny informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

 - There is so much jammed into the pages of PLEASURE ACTIVISM - dozens of voices in interviews, essays, poems, artwork, and more. Many perspectives in the pursuit of one goal.
- I'm going to be totally honest here. A lot of the pieces about finding relaxation and restoration in sex (and through various types and higher frequencies of it) did not particularly resonate with me. However, I am definitely here for the idea that our bodies can be sites of joy and liberation as we shake off what a misogynist, homophobic patriarchal society has taught us.
- I loved the pieces that looked at the pleasure things like fashion, books, and deep friendship can bring - that is what I will be returning to from this book.
