Whether you’re jerking the gherkin, flicking the bean, or something in between, masturbation doesn’t have to be a taboo topic. This straightforward, unapologetic illustrated guide to self-pleasure from Vic Liu will teach you what you need to know to get to know your own body.

This inclusive, pint-sized manual covers basic anatomy, techniques, mindsets, orgasms, troubleshooting, and a wide range of the tools and toys. There are sections on debunking myths, exploring your body for the first time, sex toys, tips from trans people for trans people, and a section on masturbating when you have a physical disability and a caretaker that’s written by disabled folks.

You’ll also learn about the history of anti-masturbation stigma, some thought-provoking data, and how to overcome physical and emotional obstacles to discover the stress-relieving potential and joy of unpartnered sex. Perfect for the pent-up teens and adults of all ages alike!
