Thanks @thecut.com for sharing an excerpt of my forthcoming book, Tell Me What You Like: An Honest Discussion of Sex and Intimacy After Sexual Assault! Out July 29th, there are plenty more true survivor stories about sex in the book. Read the excerpt for the debate on orgasms: are they optional?

This book is a great gift for college students, sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, people interested in sex and dating, and partners and loved ones of survivors.
