'This book had sex with my brain!' SARA PASCOE 'Hilarious. Intimate. Vital.' JAMEELA JAMIL 'I couldn't put the book down!' LAURA BATES Comedian Sofie Hagen has not had sex in 3,000 days (and counting). And it turns out, she's not the only one . . . In an attempt to find out why we're not having the sex we want, Sofie asks the questions: can we blame a lacking sex education? Is it all just sexual trauma? Where's the radical sexual liberation we were promised? What are we going to do about this? Should she have slept with that guy in that bush that one time? How do you overcome being a 35-year-old virgin (when it comes to queer sex, that is)? How do the socially awkward and the neurodiverse have sex? In Will I Ever Have Sex Again?, Sofie Hagen explores the quirks and difficulties of being an 'involuntary celibate' (but one of the feminist, progressive ones). With a blend of memoir and conversations with experts, therapists, sex workers, porn stars, comedians and public figures, this is a humorous and bold undertaking to gain a better understanding of how we can think, talk and feel about sex.

What a book!
If i liked Sofie Hagen before reading it, I now REALLY like her and feel understood by someone who never even met me.
This is a laugh-out-loud as well as cry-out-loud book, not only about Sex or having or not having it, but also about mental health, traumata, good and bad experiences and those that change meaning over time. It is about selflove (in both meanings of the word), about wether you feel the need the physical touch of another body or not. They discusses the topic of having or not having sex in all kind of questions and lights - finding (possible) answers or follow up questions within their own experiences, educational books they read, friends and a variation of professionals (psychologists, sexworkers, pornmakers...).
Even as an ace lesbian I found myself within these questions, found their experiences sometimes even relateable even though I never experienced anything close to those they share. But I could always follow their mind and way of thinking.
It is a very interesting book and a very good one, at least for my taste.
Beforehand I doubted finding myself within Sofies Words, but was pleasently surprised.
A wonderfully honest, queer, funny but also deep and thought provoking book about Sex and many many questions about it.
