Item Description

Ever wished there was a sex and relationship manual? We don't have one of those, but we do have the next best thing, Jaclyn Friedman! Sit down and talk out your sex and/or relationship issues with our very own Executive Director in this one hour long advice session. Jaclyn will user her skills and experience to help you build the connections you deserve.

Friedman a writer, performer and activist, and host of the weekly podcast Fucking While Feminist. She is the editor of Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape, named one of Publisher Weekly's Top 100 Books of 2009. Her new book, What You Really Really Want: The Smart Girl’s Shame-Free Guide to Sex & Safety, is teaching us one read at a time how we can have the sex we want. Anna Holmes, of the Washington Post and Jezebel, says "Jaclyn Friedman’s new guide — detailed, intelligent, and fun as hell to read — is a sorely needed addition to my bookshelf. Think of it as the anti-Cosmopolitan: A 21st century primer on fearlessly discovering and owning your sexuality while staying true to yourself without cutesy gimmicks, absurd tips and patronizing assumptions. It’s not an understatement to say that I wish WHAT YOU REALLY REALLY WANT had been around when I was first coming into adulthood. Actually scratch that: It’s as relevant to me now that I’m in my late 30s as it would have been in my late teens. Everyone can benefit from Jaclyn’s personable, progressive perspective on female sexuality and feminism."

Friedman has appeared on Melissa Harris-Perry, CNN, BBC, Q, and numerous other radio and television shows. Her commentary has appeared outlets including The Washington Post, The Nation, The American Prospect, and Bitch Magazine, AlterNet, Women's eNews, Feministing.com, and Huffington Post. She is a SheSource expert and was named one of the Top 40 Progressive Leaders Under 40 in 2009 by the NLC.
