'I LOVE this book. It's inspired me to further heights! Read it and quiver' Emma Thompson Arriving in New York with a failing relationship and a body she felt out of touch with, Stephanie Theobald set off on a 3,497 mile trip across America to re-build her orgasm from the ground up. What started as a quest for the ultimate auto-erotic experience became a fantastic voyage into her own body. She takes us from body sex classes with the legendary feminist Betty Dodson to an interview with the former US Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who was fired for suggesting that masturbation should be talked about in schools. Along the way, we are immersed in a weird, countercultural America of marijuana farms and ecosexual sexologists . Sex Drive is a memoir about desire and pleasure, merging sexuality and spirituality, eighteenth-century porn and enlightenment philosophy. A new sexual revolution has begun and this time round, it s all about the women.

Title: This book would make a great movie!
Review: Iâm not a verified purchaser because this book was given to me as a gift and it was one of the most fabulous gifts Iâve ever been given and I will be buying it as future gifts for all of my women friends.Sex Drive is a revelation. Itâs brilliant, brave and groundbreaking. I started reading it in quarantine and I looked forward to reading a few pages of it every night for a couple of weeks. It was giving me the filthiest dreams!! Oh my God, things I could not write here, but trust me they were surreal and sexual and wonderful.Itâs also very educational. Stephanie has done extensive research and weaves in a lot of historical facts from the world of sex and she interviewed many great women who blazed the sexual trail before her, including the great Betty Dodson.I didnât want the book to end. I donât think there is anything on my nightstand or book shelf that has quite the same appeal.Stephanie Theobald, as narrator, has an honesty, an authenticity and a humility about her that is very endearing. She is very much the like-able narrator - which is EVERYTHING - but she is a total badass trailblazer as well.Right now this book seems to be a well kept secret, but if I was Netflix I would pick this up and turn it into a series or a movie. It could be a kind of Shirley Valentine meets Fifty Shades of Grey. And in the post #metoo era this story is very empowering. And important. Because a woman is in control of EVERYTHING: her body, her sexual power, her sexual destiny. Honestly I think itâs a hit. Ok, you heard it here first.

Title: Hi hum. Fun for Some. Alas, not me.
Review: I found the stories sort of blah and obvious but have to admit I put it away after 46 pages. I understand others loved it.
