Beyond Bananas and Condoms: The Lgbtqia+ Inclusive Sex Education You Never Got at School

Whatever your age, gender or identity - there’s one thing we seem to all have in common: how little we learnt in school about sex, relationships, gender identity, and sexuality.

This sex-positive resource aims to provide the inclusive sex education you didn’t get in the classroom - complete with illustrations that show our beautiful, baffling bodies in all their glory. With chapters on gender, sexuality and expression, genitalia and hormones, sexual health and contraception, and the importance of boundaries and consent - this comprehensive guide celebrates identities of all kinds - and embraces the difference between cisgender and gender-diverse experiences.

If your school sex-ed was much too cishet, this is the shame-free guide you need to explore bodies, boundaries and pleasure - without a banana in sight.
