Sexuality: A Graphic Guide
Meg-John Barker
They’re back! Writer Meg-John Barker and artist Jules Scheele once again team up in this cheeky and informative comic-book follow-up to Queer and Gender. Sex is everywhere. It’s in the stories we love – and the stories we fear. It defines who we are and our place in society … at least we’re told it ought to. Sex and sexuality can seem like a house of horrors, full of monsters and potential pitfalls. We often live with fear, shame and frustration when it comes to our own sexuality, and with judgement when it comes to others’. Sex advice manuals, debates over sex work and stories of sexual “dysfunction” only add to our anxiety. With compassion, humour, erudition and a touch of the erotic, Meg-John Barker and Jules Scheele shine a light through the darkness and unmask the monsters.

0This is an excellent graphic guide to various topics regarding sexuality that is not only informative, it also gives you a plethora of resources to look into if there is a particular topic you want to explore further. Each page is full of information, artist depictions of and quotes from scholars/sexologists/philosophers, and there's a smattering of pop culture references throughout the art to enjoy while you process the information on the page. The volume has an even tone that doesn't judge anyone - it doesn't go out of it's way to yuck anyone's yum - and is an incredible resource if you have questions about sex and sexuality.
