Review: Sexual Pleasure For Dummies by Myisha Battle
Here's what nobody tells you when your marriage ends: you get to rediscover yourself. All of yourself.
That's why I picked up Sexual Pleasure For Dummies by Myisha Battle — and why I'd hand it to every person who's come out the other side of a long-term relationship wondering, so... who am I now?
This is a permission slip. A practical one, with real tools and zero judgment.
Five stars. No notes.
